The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks for the extra info, Wout!


Sesquiplanes are seldom. So this one shouldn’t bother you for too long.

Hi giruXX:encouragement:
Maybe both or neither. I will bite:
The Young Eddyo F2 (N5566V). Sometimes seen as Eddy-O. Design by Evert W. Young. FF November 1963. Two-seater with Lycoming O-290 engine.
 
This 2-seater has one of my engines. Reportedly she is from the same city/region where the same group (?) produced a line of other light aircraft if similar configuration.
 
Hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
That is her. Named Leader (sometimes spelled as Lider). The other aircraft I mentioned is the series of Delfin light planes from Kronstad.
 
Strange. My search for this type in this thread didn't show a hit.

A had it as CAMS 60 but having read the posts concerning the CAMS 52 in this thread I think my source is wrong and it is indeed the CAMS 52.

So the baton goes to Chris :icon29:
 
Thanks Robert

Here one the only two pics I could find with a known pilot/designer company owner.

I wonder whether someone with IT skills and equipment better than mine can decipher the text in the heart and the oblong on the fuselage just aft of the cockpit (? - I assume that there is one and that this was not a prone pilot experiment!) and whether this might shed any light upon this aeroplane?

Searching the internet, one comes across a copy of the second photograph with the following manuscript annotation:

'Wally Timms 1918 Bordon Mono Plane'
 
Yes I tried to decipher that as well....
AllI can add is another couple of SD archive photos of Otto Timms -

The photo of the mystery is part of the James Hester Collection at flickr:

When you scroll down a while you can find the same picture in a much better quality where you can download it in a better resolution:

I've tried to enhance the inscription on the plane a bit, is anybody able to decipher it?

Maybe the last letter of the first word is an "H"?
 
The second word looks like "LON'Z" or "LON'I".

Thanks to Lefty's 2nd pic I guess we can assume it is a 2-cylinder engine? Or is that another cylinder popping out from the bottom.
