The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Curious - Aerofiles has two separate entries for what appears to be the same aircraft - the model A amphibian NX1117 and the SM-9 NX414Y. The markings on your photo look like the former. Needs some more work ! Where did you find that picture ?

In the meantime, here's another twin, contemporaneous but quite different - (oh dear, thumbnails not showing - I fear we have been tampered with again..)

Hi Lefty!
Yes this forum seems to be quite moody....anyway your craft seems to be a Blackburn CA15C available in both monoplane and biplane version.....

BG, you're quite correct - :icon29: - but here in a windy Scotland a nice mulled wine would be more appropriate - how's things in Tuscany ??

Hi Lefty!
Things here in Tuscany are weatherwise fine with Sunshine, clear skies and very little wind...on the contrary I understand that Scotland as well as a good part of northern Europe is scourged by a terrible storm.....do take care of yourself and of your belongings my friend....
I was hoping to submit an enigma to day but I can't do that being very busy with my wife's disability....therefore may I ask for an open house?
All the best
BG
 
Take care of the Mrs BG.

In the meantime, here is a funky little bug...

This one was photographed at a Boston airport in 1930. Another from the obscure one-off department.

The caption for the shot described how the gentleman dearly wanted to be in the photo so he jumped into the frame and started washing down the surfaces.
 
Not much interest on this one it looks like. You win some you lose some!

This is the Stabilaire A.

Open board please-
 
Couldn't get anywhere with this one - described in Aerofiles as a 2pOlwM, and O it ain't !

And this horror ain't O either.....

Well, it looks like a SAAB B-18A with the P&W engines. Not sure what that thing is under the fuselage though. Maybe a radar pod so this would be a PS-18/A variant?
 
Okay thanks.

This one can be found in about 5 seconds via the google image search but I know no one here will do that.
