• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

From a famous manufacturer. There was a small production run for this model, which spawned something much better known and extensively produced.
 
Thanks Jim.

Very good Robert.:very_drunk: I took the photo myself several years ago. There is one survivor hanging in a Dallas museum.
 
Thanks, Kevin, it was a bit of luck that I found the Sportsman. Interesting that of only three built aircraft one still survives.
On with a flying elephant :very_drunk:

I must lay off the absinthe. I thought that I'd started to see pink elephants but I'm relieved to find that it's only a RN Sikorsky R-6 Hoverfly II!
 
That's her, Mike. :encouragement:
The picture was taken at Farnborough in 1950 where according to my source not just one but three of these disguised Hoverflys where shown!

Santé :icon29:
