The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Tried a fairly simple google for pusher & homebuilt deltas, but no joy, only some Lippish copies. So it looks as if the towel has been offered!

Tis the Dean Delt-Air 250.

Here is a four engine bomber of the push pull variety...

Everyone else snoozing ? This is the Piaggio P.3 bomber from 1923. (that's BG fifth from left...)

Moses will not mind if I press on, so here's something different - we've had a floating aggie - now here's one for when you fall out with your neighbouring farmer......

That's the Iomax ArchAngel, conveniently placed in front of their pavilion at the Paris Salon of 2013. I note that it was then being marketed as a 'border patrol' aircraft. Was it rather prescient for the manufacturer to adopt this approach when pitching to a European market? Did it know something that didn't become so obvious to the rest of we Europeans until more recently!

As to your previous offering, Lefty, I was a tad puzzled by you posting the answer, yesterday, and then taking it down before reposting it today.
 
Thought I had taken it down fairly swiftly, PH - to let BG have a go, as it was in his territory. Don't want to hog the forum!

Anyway, you're on the ball with the big ugly IOMAX - let's hope it never gets used anywhere.....:very_drunk: (how's the cider????)

It's not a cider week, even though I have six bins of apples awaiting pressing and I haven't yet shaken the trees down. No, this week's wine. I've just picked two bins of grapes, which I'll press later today. That should make six or seven dozen bottles of dry wine wine. But enough of this alcohol (can one get enough?). Here's an interesting little canard. One of the few that don't have anything to do with Burt Rutan!

 
Hi P-H :encouragement:
An example of the ever expanding flock of RJ-03 Ibis homebuilts by father/son team Roger and Jean-Claude Junqua.
There is also one on the Dutch register
 
Hi Moses!
Your post #11843.
This is proof of how frustrating some times this thread can be! I have been looking all the time into the Breda's but overlooked completely the Piaggio's...(Yet I have a very nice pic of the Piaggio P3....)besides thanks for pointing out to a pic of mine I didn't know I had!
Well, Always "Ad Maiora"!
Cheers
BG
 
Now why am I not surprised, Walter, that the Ibis presented you with such little difficulty! That illustrated is the prototype, still very active in Western France. I last saw it earlier this month. Anyhow it's over to you, sir.
 
Thank you P-H:encouragement:
Loved to visit the annual RSA meetings and learned a lot about the F-P... aircraft.

This neat little aircraft was at the time described as a powered glider.

Thank you, BG. Remaining - as is my wont - in the same country (yes, I know this is obvious from the photograph!) as but many decades apart from the little Breguet, here's a pretty little parasol that, perhaps, looks older than it is.

 
Hi P-H :encouragement:
That beauty is the PMB-78 Le Faucon homebuilt by Pierre Milon and members of the Aéro-club de Brive
(PMB-78 for Pierre Milon, Brive, 1978). Used several parts of Stampe/Nord SV-4 and Piper aircraft such as landing gear and tail feathers.
F-PYFO and first flown 19 January 1979(?). 100hp Continental O-200-A engine
 
..... and what colour is the pilot's underwear, Walter? But seriously, despite this being the sole PMB-78, I didn't think that it would tax you too hard or for too long. Back to you, sir!
 
Thank you P-H :encouragement:
Only one clue for the next challenge. She is not from France!
