The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

an unexpected product of that company at that time

a pint for Mike

 

[lefty]

Thanks Uli. Now back to a small monoplane in a bit of a flap...

 

[pomme homme]

I had to go and find Don Brown's book for that one. It is one of the two experimental RAE Miles Sparrowhawks, either U-3 (G-AGDL) or U-5 (G-AGBI), with its wide-chord flaps deployed (thus necessitating the tail being raised and supported off the ground).

 

[lefty]

Very brisk response, Mike. Your library must be close at hand.......over to Gaul....

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Mike. Here's something viewed from a similar angle but with less of a flap on and of a later vintage.

 

[fabulousfour]

Could that be a Linn Mini Mustang?

 

[pomme homme]

Not according to my records, Robert. You're a continent and several decades away.

 

[lefty]

Something by M. Jurca, perhaps ?

 

[pomme homme]

No, there are far fewer of these in existence than there are Marcel Jurca's designs. But at least you're in the right country, Mike.

Addendum: evidently great minds think alike, Mike. This is what the designer/builder of the aeroplane said about it in 2006:

'..... is a plane I drew 15 years ago,with my experience of the CP80.
length:6,60m
wingspan:6,70m
wing area:7,6 m
empty weight:450kgs
gross weight:580 kgs
engine:lycoming O320(160 cv)
first flight in summer 2000(200 hours of flight now)'

 

[fabulousfour]

I think I have it. Not a scaled down Mustang but a Spitfire.

Perhaps the Kurun JPR-01, Mike?

 

[pomme homme]

You have it, Robert - - the one and only Regnault JPR-01 Kurun F-PNJP. Its fuselage is Spitfire like but the wing is a 64% scale Mustang wing. Best of both worlds, perhaps? Over to you, sir.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Mike, the wings were indeed very confusing. They HAD to belong to something like a Mustang.

Here is a variation in the Mignet theme.

 

[pomme homme]

Is that the 1954 TC-1 Flea that, I think, was designed by Lillian Holden, originated as a kit pre-WW2 and evolved to become the American Flea Ship?

 

[fabulousfour]

It is indeed a Flea from the other side of the pond, the American Flea TC-1.

Well done, Mike!

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Robert. There aren't many triplane poux - and this one certainly was a curious variation on the Mignet theme.

Now here's something that can be thrown around a bit .....

 

[pomme homme]

A one-off that dates from 1999. There are lots of pictures of it on the internet, but no technical data (at least, none that I can find).

 

[pomme homme]

As I have no more information about it to furnish another clue and no-one has taken a stab at the identity of this aeroplane, it is time to reveal and move on. This aerobatic single seater is the Mazel Acrolaram F-PAHM. Open house, please.

 

[fabulousfour]

Ok, let's try this biplane.

 

[fabulousfour]

A one-off which could change its appearance significantly.
The operator could choose between higher speed and lower payload or more payload and slower cruise.

 

[lefty]

No takers, Robert, so I'll pitch in with the Fokker F.V in biplane mode.
