The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[pomme homme]

Based on a well known glider that had evolved from a better known glider!

 

[pomme homme]

It isn't a Herald and it wasn't made by Sopwith!

 

[srgalahad]

The empennage was making me think of the DFS Habicht ( and "Stummel-Habicht") but that got me nowhere

 

[pomme homme]

Wrong country, srgalahad. Consider the last clue!

G-AELR: first known as the Dunstable Dart but later as the Dart Pup

 

[pomme homme]

Hallelujah! I didn't think that it would take so long. But you have it, Uli. It is the Zander and Weyl designed sole Dart Pup, based on the Slingsby Falcon III which, in turn, derived from the Lippisch Falke. You have control.

 

[giruXX]

Thank you Mike.

Let's try this

 

[lefty]

I think this one popped up here a couple of months ago, Uli. (#22389)

 

[giruXX]

!

I got <<Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.>>

But now I see the difference: I have it as "Sparman S 1"


Open House then!

 

[fabulousfour]

Ok, let's try this light plane.

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Praga E-114 Air Baby .....

 

[fabulousfour]

Even though the google picture search declares this as an Air Baby I can't see any similarity between the Praga and the mystery

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Ah ! Avia Eindeker BH- 4 ?

 

[fabulousfour]

Close, but no cigar.

 

[pomme homme]

It looks more like the BH-1, perhaps the replica constructed a few years back?

 

[fabulousfour]

Yes, it is the replica of the Avia BH-1.

Over to you, Mike

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Robert. Tempted though I was to follow up with the replica BH-5, I've resisted that temptation in favour of something of a later vintage that cannot be said to have left much of a mark on aeronautical history.

 

[lefty]

It's another acronym ! The SNCASO SO.3050 F-BAMN, perhaps ?

 

[pomme homme]

Well done , Mike. It is the one and only SO.3050. Over to you.

 

[lefty]

Something different - a (very) large sesquiplane, which happens to be a floater also.
