The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

Welcome back, Mike.
Hopefully you have preserved some warmth for winter.

The mystery is the Short Shrimp (would have given a nice clue ).

The stage is yours

Sorry,fellows,having a bit of a problem. The village is now in ths middle of its SEVENTH power cut of the day ! Can do or see nothing - I am going out. Better have OH.

Sent from my phone...

 

[lefty]

Glad to report that we are back in the world again (after TEN power cuts.....)

Here's a two-seater to carry on with -

 

[lefty]

At last, can get in with a hint (whether it will post or not is another matter....)

This one is European, 1918, Argus engine, prototype only, intended for military use.

 

[lefty]

From a landlocked country....

 

[cthornburg]

Just a WAG but tail looks "Skoda" but my reference on their products doesn't have anything like this.

From the country of chocolate and watches

It is the SWS C-1.

 

[lefty]

..and lovely Gruyère, Robert ! You cracked it -

 

[fabulousfour]

That biplane was a tough nut, Mike.

Here is something more modern.

 

[pomme homme]

Sai kz-ii?

[sorry - I'm typing upper case but the website seems to be turning it into lower case and I seem unable to do anything about that]

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the SAI KZ.II in its Sport variant.

Over to you, Mike

No problem here with the typing.

 

[lefty]

His keyboard's gone on strike, Robert. It happens in France..........

 

[fabulousfour]

Maybe Friday the 13th

 

[pomme homme]

Well, let's see what happens on the fourteenth! Here's something that seems to be a debutante here but which shouldn't tax you for too long.

 

[Moses03]

My money is on the Caudron C240.

 

[pomme homme]

Then your money would be safe, Kevin. It is the Caudron C.240. Next stop Texas!

 

[Moses03]

Good to know Mike.

Onward with a larger craft.

 

[giruXX]

The Friesley Falcon, methinks

 

[Moses03]

It is!

Shame it never went into production. Was a solid design with a good track record. They sold it to China where it faded from history.

 

[giruXX]

on with something smaller
