The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Kevin :salute:
Now I understand why you thought of a Parsons XV-11A connection. Same shape of fuselage.
I am sure it is not on aerofiles. The aircraft is still on the register with the registration marked as valid.
 
The Miller Model B Flying Boat. Here's another pic of her.....seems to have come straight from Kevins grain collection. :mixedsmi:
 
DHC2Pilot :salute:
Bingo and congratulations and a well deserved Miller :icon29:
Not in aerofiles, not in Janes. How did you find out?
The boat was designed/built by Russell Miller and constructed with help from family members. First flight 21 May 1975 end engine was a Chevy "327"" V8. After the death of Mr. Miller the Model B (registration N3RM) was acquired by new owner with plans to install a Continental TSIO-520-D. Have no confirmation this was actually done, although the aircraft is still on he FAA list with a valid CoA.
Your turn Sir!
 
How did I find out? I hacked into your PC and trolled around until I found the answer. :icon_lol: You really need a better firewall my friend.
Onward and downward.....here's a plane with a purpose. 3 part answer: 1.) What was it originally? 2.) What was it used for? 3.) Where is it now?
 
1) Grumman J4F-2 Widgeon

2) Used to test hull designs and knicknamed "The Petulant Porpoise"

3) Pima Air & Space Museum


Nice work on that Miller. Could not dig up a thing!
 
At last, something I recognise ! You guys have been pulling out some oddballs of late and I have been feeling very redundant. (In answer to your question, Baragouin, our Moses has a new book of inter-war nasties, which he is rightly keeping a state secret until we surrender en masse.........) Actually, I would have got the Grumman but was away in the land of Nod at the time...............:sleep:

Keith's little amphibian (well it might have been) is Bert Hinkler's Ibis, a neat machine but which must, I fear, have been very noisy. And getting out of it with a parachute would have been mighty interesting.....

Well done Lefty, I didnt think it would last that long - a glass of your favourite malt!

Over to you
