The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I think we need Kevin to step in here to give us the family tree of the Regent/Johnson/Texas Rocket/Bullet, 185/260/400 or whatever, built in Fort Worth/Tyler/McAllen/Edinburg TX !

Don't have anything to add to the schizophrenic light plane other than we had it a couple of times in the thread previously.

Found the most recent one -August 2012 - a "lefty" post with resolution by Walter (of course) but the image is no longer attached. I should have been a stinky pedantic and held out for the very specific (and not found in the search) "Sky Gem" but I've been trying to be more considerate these days.

 

[Moses03]

I did find this. I don't think any "rolled" off the line there.

This is Rob's 'missing' photo which I posted years ago, with another one found later (note tailwheel !)

and here is a Bullet link-

Looks like a captured Albatros D.III.

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

It is ! Captured by the Dutch in 1917 - over to you !

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks. Let's stay with biplanes.

The shortest possible answer

It is the Canadian Vickers Vigil.

Over to Chris. :icon29;

I think this is a model but I did find a picture of it looks exactly the same.

Heaven knows you'll be miserable if you don't get this .....

 

[cthornburg]

Here's the aircraft started as one seater then mod. to 2 seats.

[srgalahad]

Nice find.
I'm miserable because I had to cheat to find it, instead of going with my hunch.
The cowl, windshield and empennage...

 

[cthornburg]

This is another in aero files but no picture of it.

[Sopwith Chameleon]

.......... could have been designed by this charming man .........

 

[pomme homme]

Bravo, what clever clues!

 

[srgalahad]

Put the rest out of their misery

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Put the rest out of their misery

OK - it's the Morrissey Bravo .....

That's the one take off with a new one
