The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

No worries Mike. I think with a lot of these early birds, we can look the other way sometimes on the airworthyness.

See what I can scare up...
 
Here is a mysterious twin...

China...ooof.

I had it as the Zhongyun 1/C-0101 transport. I have also seen it listed as the Chung Yun 1. To further muddy the water it might have been built at the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory circa 1936.

I have not found reference to Nanyuan 1/2 anywhere but maybe it is another way to spell it.
 
This is the pix I have of it. Seems to be the same. I found in the Chinese Encyclopedia as my source.
OH if OK as I'm in Vienna on vacation.

Is that the handiwork of a jolly prankster, who has painted the rear clamshell doors to replicate the forward cockpit glazing? Either that or was there an occasion when the workers on the SNCAN assembly line had just one too many pastis before clocking on ..... !
 
A backup cockpit?

unfortunately I don't do French. The caption the I found with the pix said it was 1956 and to replace a for a damaged aircraft in algeria.

Over to you.

This company produced a large amount of aircraft in a very short late 1920's to early 1930's window. It was a modified version of a 1928 design.
