The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Don't suppose we'll ever know, Dan.

As it is OH, here's a scruffy twin -apologies if it's been here before. Wout will have it in a trice, but how about the rest of you ???

(Having to resize images every time is so tiresome....)
 
For a moment I thought is was the famous "Dijkman Dulkes Bravo", but I'm afraid it isn't........

Cheers,
Huub
 
Well, you are in the right country, Huub....


Tiny hint: I'll be seeing this with my own eyes tomorrow...
 
Is it one of the aircraft built by Joost Conijn?

There are actually quite some idiots in this aircraft who still think they can win from gravity.......

Cheers,
Huub

Yes it is Huub, his third aircraft.

And he flew it from the Netherlands to Kenya, so he's not that supid I guess.. ;)
 
As I did not daily follow this thread I'm not sure which aircraft has been shown before.

So a not so unknown aircraft, with the risk that is has been here before. Must be simple for you......

That, Huub, is a Koolhoven FK54, is it not ?

Strange, there used to be a nice Koolhoven site with some great photos, but now, when I click on the link, I get some film maker shouting at me in Dutch !

Hmmmm, I see that now too..... Real shame!

Huub; one little tip: Country of origin of the poster is usually the first place they look! :icon_lol:
 
It is indeed the FK.54, which was the first Koolhoven with retractable undercarriage. I don't know what happened to the website of the Koolhoven Foundation, but it is not there anymore :isadizzy:.

Henri Kaper, who was in the board of the foundation now has his own web-site:

Cheers,
Huub

P.S. Good tip Ferry next time I will take an aircraft from an obscure country..... :icon_lol:
 
Yes, Huub, thanks for the link - it would have been a shame to lose that valuable referenced source. Always interesting, Koolhoven's machines !

Here, for a change , is a current mystery from a British aviation magazine.....(I don't know either !) (Well, actually, I just found it......can you ?)
 
That was an odd one!
