The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Enjoy the Sachertorte, Yann !

Kevin, before you expire from heat exhaustion, I can tell you that the wee floater was designed as a submarine accessory.
 
I have the very good mushroom book on japanese submarine aircraft and can't find any reference in there so it would appear its not from the far east?
 
I've heard all about those Japanese mushrooms, James ! No, this is European, and an early one.......
 
James, I too trolled through some early Japanese stuff but then went with my second hunch and found Lefty's wee wet one:

LFG V-19 of 1918. Without the submarine clue I doubt I would have found it.
 
On behalf of Moses, Naki, welcome to the thread !

You are, of course, correct with the Gannet - unless Moses found a Chinese copy - but if you look carefully you can see where he photoshopped out the kangaroo....:applause:

Over to you for a new mystery.:icon29:
 
Welcome Naki. You were on the right track but actually this is not a Gannet at all! It's not anything license built in China either. There is a New Zealand connection here...

Mystery is still on the board-
 
Bingo! :icon29:

Before Mr. Wackett built his Gannet, he undertook a project for Sir Charles Kingsford Smith in 1933 to build an airliner for a proposed New Zealand line. The result was the one-off Codock.

Over to DHC2Pilot-
 
It's the weekend, dear boy - nice weather - too many other distractions (and garden chores).

Will have a wee look today.
