• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

They must be RFB Fantrainers of the Thai Air Force, by the looks of the scenery ! Apparently some of these, delivered as kits, were never assembled.
 
Ahh, Bangkok - I can feel the humidity just looking at that photo......

Here's a neat wee fellow from a somewhat different climate..

A Sunday chuckle.......

Oh, those two photographs, Ferry_vO, are crying out for captions, such as.......

(1) I told you that you couldn't make a banked turn whilst you're still on the water!

(2) Now grasp the handle on the cable, wait for the slack to be taken up and for launch to gather pace and up you come on your floats - yes, you're water skiing!
 
Quite correct and quite fast Ferry...and yes Pomme-homme I noticed from the beginning ....
that the darn thing wasn't very stable on its floats!
Ferry please go ahead and enjoy your Sunday
Cheers

Not one of Koolhoven's greatest designs for sure! No one asked for it, and none were ever sold.

I'm extrapolating here. The aeroplane is reminiscent of the Miles Magister and the Turkish MKEK-4 Ugur. The latter evolved from the THK-15. The former was manufactured under licence by THK. I've failed to find an image of the THK-15 but wonder whether that's what you've posted, Baragouin?

p.s. having seen Green's post subsequent to typing and posting the above, I think that I'm wrong and he's right.
 
Hi Mr. Green :encouragement:
Your beauty may be the W.German Kiebitz of 1959. Seen designations Model 501 (by manufacturer Merckle Flugzeugbau) and LF-2 (by designer Prof-Infg. Hermann Winter of LF-1 Zaunkonig fame).
LF-2 apparently stood for Langsamflugzeug 2 (Slow Airplane no.2)
Registration D-EJUG. A second example was not finished.
