The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

Not from a country with a big aircraft industry.

 

[pomme homme]

..... it looks Hopfner/Hirtenbergerish ....

 

[fabulousfour]

Not from Austria, Mike, but you are not far away.

 

[pomme homme]

Then staying within the empire, perhaps the MSrE M-21 Harag?

 

[fabulousfour]

Indeed, Mike, it is the MSrE M.21 from Hungary.

Next clue would have been the colours on the rudder.

Over to "Down by the Sèvre", please

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Robert. I was surprised to find the Harag via wikipedia!

Now here's something that's not a pretty sight ..... !

 

[Moses03]

Was looking at this one the other day. It's not French!

 

[pomme homme]

Bother, my curve ball has been exposed!

 

[lefty]

Sadly, my Ord-Hume is at home while I swelter in Funchal ! (Maybe it's cooler in Texas......)

 

[Moses03]

I wish Mike. We are still hitting the 32-34C range daily. Need a nice strong cold front to get us down to 15C!

 

[pomme homme]

It shares a name with an airline that must be close to lefty's heart!

 

[Moses03]

No takers? This is the Angus Aquila of 1931. Sadly, the designer lost his life testing it in March of that year.

 

[pomme homme]

Sadly, Kevin, it seems not!

Yes, it is the ill fated and inappropriately named Angus Aquila. The only thing aquiline about it was its nose profile, which suggests some semblance of a eagle's beak. Certainly there was nothing aquiline in its flight performance.

I thought my clue might provoke a reflex response from lefty, as he sat on the balcony of his hotel, looking out to sea and, after a good well watered lunch, dreaming of an Aquila Airways Short Solent gently cleaving the waters of Funchal Bay as it touched down .....

Over to a hopefully tepid Texas!

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Mike. Moving on with a curious one.

 

[giruXX]

for me this looks like a Klemm 35 (in the Spanish Civil War?)

Open House if OK.

 

[Catboat]

Could be German

Thanks Mike. Moving on with a curious one


Perhaps a Klemm. KL25 or KL35D

Maybe a Klemm, KL25, or KL35D

 

[pomme homme]

I was going to say that it just demonstrates that graffiti is not a modern problem!

 

[Moses03]

Not a Klemm, sorry.

Caudron C.601 Aiglon

Chris

 

[Moses03]

Caudron it is. No word on the graffiti artist...

Over to Chris.
