The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

It is indeed the Fokker V.3.
V.3 was attributed for a long time to the Fokker Triplane but that was incorrect. The first Triplane was the V.4
And the V.2 has a different tail.

Thanks Robert.


On with a fancy fellow that predates the Fokker.

Funny, I wasn't aware. I checked the aircraft in the book which was published by Fokker the celebrate the factory's 60th birthday and in this book the V.3 is still linked to the triplane.......

Baumann-Freytag Doppeldecker, 1912

 

[Moses03]

For Uli.

It crashed in 1913 killing the pilot and passenger sadly.

 

[giruXX]

surprisingly not in this thread:

 

[giruXX]

first flight in 1967

Well it looks like a Zlin 42, Uli ? On second thoughts., make that a 43 !

 

[giruXX]

Well it is nothing more than the 42, Mike. Take a gulp

 

[lefty]

The 42 had a distinct forward wing sweep, Uli, which was removed in the 43. Could be just the angle of photo?

Anyway here is something that does have some forward sweep.......

 

[giruXX]

.... with red and green wing panels in a later use

 

[lefty]

Well Uli knows this one - no other takers ? West European, a one-off from a consortium, now used for aerofoil research.

Uli, if nobody else comes in, I think you should keep things rolling on or declare OH.

 

[fabulousfour]

I think this is the LFU 205 from

 

[lefty]

Indeed it is, Robert. Over to you..

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Mike!

On with a high-winger.

 

[lefty]

Interesting, Robert. This is the Renard R.31/32 - possibly the 31 converted with Gnome-Rhone engine and canopy, but still with 2-blade prop. Later called the R.32 before a further engine change to the Hispano Y-12 860hp.

Les Avions Renard goes into this in some detail, but without a photo of this particular configuration !

 

[fabulousfour]

It is indeed the Renard R.32 OO-ARY with a Gnome-Rhone. Unfortunately I have no information regarding the prop configuration.

Does the Renard book give definite information, whether there were one or two R.32, Mike?
I could find evidence for both.

Suds for Mike

 

[lefty]

Thanks Robert.

There were two R-32's - the first Hispano model was delivered to the Air Force but crashed shorlty after due to fuel problems, the pilot parachuting to safety.

The Gnome-Rhone model was, in all probablity, ultimately dismantled, restored to R-31 configuration and returned to the Air Force.

Sorry for the delay - have been distracted with other matters here - may I please declare OH ?.

 

[fabulousfour]

Many thanks for that, Mike!
