The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

ANF Les Mureaux 120N3

[fabulousfour]

The similarity is quite astonishing but the mystery is not from the ANF stable.

 

[cthornburg]

Wibault 220

Chris

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Wibault 220

Over to you, Chris

 

[cthornburg]

Interesting high winger

Chris

 

[Moses03]

Knew I had seen it somewhere, it's a Kalinin K.1.

 

[cthornburg]

That's the one on with the next mystery

Chris

 

[Moses03]

On with a low wing monoplane.

 

[Moses03]

RED striping with RED wings...

 

[fabulousfour]

Is that a broad hint, Kevin?

There is a Red Wing Trainer at aerofiles but I can't find anything else about that that bird.

 

[Moses03]

It is a hint Robert. (More so on the model than make).

First flown in 1930 but soldiered on until at least 1940 which is unusual for a one-off of this type. Cirrus engine.

 

[fabulousfour]

I think I have it.

The Mercury S Red Racer.

 

[Moses03]

Yes you do! Mystery achieved.

Over to Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin.

So let's try this biplane.

 

[fabulousfour]

From a company that built mainly biplanes and gliders

 

[lefty]

Waco 9, Robert ?

 

[fabulousfour]

Indeed, Mike, it is a Waco 9 somewhere in Argentina.

Did the clue with the gliders help or was it more confusing (as I had hoped )?

Anyway, over to Scotland.

 

[lefty]

Thanks Robert - the glider/biplane clue finally persuaded me it wasn't French - after that my first hit on Aerofiles was Waco....

Here's one you won't find in Aerofiles..

 

[pomme homme]

Here's one you won't find in Aerofiles..

Is that because it's not American?
