The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Yes indeed, there's a man who knows his swedes from his turnips.......

Here is another "I" strut design.

 

[lefty]

What a weird-looking machine. The tail unit is straight out of Batman, and the whole thing is braced with what looks like half-inch cable !

Has to be a one-off, American surely - back to Aeorofiles.....

 

[Moses03]

Six built. The prototype pictured above has a Hisso engine.

 

[lefty]

Thanks to the generously provided clues, the Lefty Detective Agency has divined that this is a Catron & Fisk CA-11. (One wonders what happened to the CA's 1-10 ???)

There is at least one aggie fan out there, so here's another poison-spreader. (Got my green boots on today...)

 

[Moses03]

I had this one as a International F-18. Of course C & F evolved into International. Also, the photo of the C & F CA-11 on Aerofiles looks just like the F-18 so who knows!

for Mike regardless.

Too bad Wout has reclused himself to a smokey dark room somewhere. We could use his help here.

 

[wout]

Hi Kevin,
no reclusion to smokey dark room, but other (not too pleasant) reason. Sorry for long absence.
The aggie looks like the UTVA 65 Privdrednik GO of former Yugoslavia.

if correct OH please

 

[Moses03]

Hope everything is okay Walter. Good to see you back.

 

[lefty]

Good morning all - I've been absent too for a wee while - virtually the whole of Scotland was without broadband for most of Friday due to a flood somewhere in BT premises. Makes you realise how dependent we all are........

Great to see you back, Walter, and you had no trouble snapping up the Yugoslav.

Anyone ????

 

[Moses03]

I have a trimotor-

 

[fasm]

it looks like a four engines excepeted if one is dead

 

[lefty]

Yes, that was confusing me a bit too.......:ques:

 

[Moses03]

Gosh! My mistake. It is a 4-engine ship. :redf:

 

[lefty]

Looks like it's been hastily assembled and held together by duct tape.

Wheels pinched from a hospital trolley, too..........

 

[Moses03]

Not too many push me pull me airliners. Should narrow the field down quite a bit...

 

[Moses03]

There were three versions of this airliner/transport. From a well known company.

 

[Moses03]

Figured someone would check the Dornier lineage at some point. This is a Do K2.

*Open Board*

 

[lefty]

Never even got around to thinkig European ! (Incidentally my Dornier tome shows the K2 with 4-blade props on the tractor engines)

Here's a natty little chap...

 

[Moses03]

Interesting ship. Looks like one of those French capital letter builds.
