The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

The picture suggests, so me, something agricultural. Perhaps something adapted for crop spraying. It has that rugged, robust look, which is redolent of a crop duster, and the terrain looks rather rough and unprepared, rather than manicured aerodrome turf. But having said all that, I still can't identify it!
 
Scenery looks like the USA. Was thinking some kind of mutation of a Fairchild XNQ-1 or something like that. The fixed gear is throwing me.

Yes, we're in the USA - it's Northrop field. A famous aircraft with around 1,500 produced, usually seen with floats but some with fixed gear. This particular machine is trying out an experimental wing.
 
Thanks Ferry....
Here's my next mystery.....

That, sir, is the Bloch MB60 - first aircraft produced in his own name by Marcel Bloch/Dassault. Very neat too.

The Ikarus 231.

Open House - if it is.

Cheers.

In spite of the fact that the game has proceeded without my confirmation, may I take the liberty of confirming (though belatedly for which I apologize) Green's statement re the Ikarus 231 (merely an Ikarus 211 with added greenhouse)....
Cheers

Perfectly within the rules about not waiting. It happens here and there.

I posted the Bloch just so there would not be a several hour gap. Just trying to have fun.:encouragement:
