The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks Jim.

This one had an interesting/tragic life.

The second of three builds from this designer. He became the chief test pilot of another company a couple of years later. (We had a mystery from this company recently).
 
Crashed into a hill in 1915, killing two passengers. Our designer/pilot was injured but survived. Turns out he was building and flying without a license. Seems strange now but probably common then.
 
Thank you Kevin.
This one has appeared before, but it was a few years ago, so some of our more recent regulars may not have seen it...Walter will know I'm sure, but let's see who else can pin it down...a neat but diminutive twin -

No I didn’t but the background appeared immediately familiar (from seeing other photos)

Here is a beautiful mystery that presumably will not survive the day.

More „good“ guesses?
I have seen Carlo here!
Carlo how are you? Please use PN if you want to keep something confidential.

That long legged undercarriage style suggests something by Herberts Cukurs, perhaps a C.6 variant?

That was a good idea (as this mystery is a cuckoo) but I wouldn’t have encouraged anybody to follow it further if Robert would have stood quiet.

Well, it’s already April 2nd in part of the world. Therefore I must give in and accept Robert’s offer as correct! :wavey: :ernaehrung004:
 
Thanks, Uli.
In fact it was the belly tank which caught my eye immediately. A very characteristic detail for the He 51 I think.
If you had altered the tank you probably would have trapped me. :very_drunk:

Can you tell all the changes you did? I noticed the gear legs, the engine and of course the missing wing.

Here is my next mystery.

Thank you Robert - yes the Boss and I have managed to avoid coming to blows, made easier because we have a big enough house and garden - how families in flats cope, I cannot imagine...

Here, surprise surprise, is another water baby....
