The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.
- Thread starter Ferry_vO
- Start date
This is the B-1 Quick n Easy by Wayne Bosswell of Oregon/USA. I know disappointingly little of the aircraft, except that she was completed 1971 and had a Franklin engine.
Registration was N5871. It is posible that the photo shows the aircraft in "final" form. Please see attached second photo showing an earlier version (??) with a shorter fuselage and different cabin area.
Any additional info is very welcome
Open House, please

Can I please use the 'open house' interregnum to post a photograph which, on more than one other forum, is proving impossible - at least, so far - to identify? Below is the photograph posted on the other forums, together with two close-ups taken from that. The original poster of the photograph says that the aeroplane was operated by his grandfather, who worked for Short Bros. during WW2, from various small fields in Kent. He also says that he has the propeller from the aeroplane, which bears the date 'September 1924'. I felt that the aeroplane was too small to have been piloted by a human, and thus might have been some sort of large scale model, but many have disagreed with that theory. Also it's been suggested that the engine is an Anzani V twin - although I don't think that it's possible to dismiss the possibility that it is an inverted Blackburne Tomtit. Any ideas, anyone?

A mystery, it seems, the little parasol wing monoplane must remain. Will someone, please, post a mainstream challenge, in order to get things moving on?

That, Chris, is the Archon SF-1 from, of all places, Greece - 
Seems to fly pretty well, too, although it doesn't sound quite like an F-35 !

Thanks for posting that. It's fun, and boy, do we all need some of that....
