The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Walter, thanks for the extra info on the engines. Looking in my Larousse there is no entry for supraconvergent, so maybe its another of those alternative descriptions that occur in french when they cannot invent another word because the Acedemie Francaise forbid it!!!

In which case my guess is Bagheera!!!
If so its the SITAR GY-100 Bagheera by Yves Gardan - Wiki says two made & the first broke up in flight - if its not then dunno!

Hi Keith :salute:
The GY-100 Bagheera it is :icon29:
Other Jungle Book aircraft Mr. Gardan worked on were the GY-90 Mowgli and GY-110 Sher Kan, but these remained projects.
 
It never ceases to amaze me how many worthy chaps were prepared to expend so much time, energy, and cash, producing Piper and Cessna clones, which can hardly ever have shown a return on their endeavours... It's a strange obsession !

You got me on the Kipling reference though, Walter. I spent ages looking for a designer called Kim...............:banghead:
 
Highland Park, please, Keith.

Here's a very easy one - quite an elegant machine, though, I feel. But make sure you get the model designation right !
 
Hi Mike :salute:
Why a very easy one, if you require the exact model designation ?
I`ve seen the pictured aircraft called the AISA AVD-12 (by manufacturer AISA), L-10 (Spanish AF), I-18 (Iberavia which company started on the design), D-750-1 and D-750-2 (D for Dewoitine, the French designer Emil Dewoitine, though D-750-1 and -2 for the first and second aircraft seems unofficial and highly doubtful).
AVD-12/L-10/I-18/D-750-1 for the first example and AVD-12C/L-10/D-750-2 (the one in your pic) for the second machine.

Question in return. Do you know what AVD stands for :ques:. I donot, but very anxious to learn
 
WOUT, your knowledge on such matters astounds me. You could probably tell us how many rivets are in the blasted thing. :mixedsmi:
 
I'm always getting into trouble - what is very easy for Wout is certainly not necessarily easy for the remaining 99.9999% of the population !

I was looking for for the designation AVD-12C, this being generally accepted as one applied to the second prototype with Continental engine.

I saw that it had already been the subject of an in-depth discussion on another forum, but didn't want to go there !!!

Anyway, over to the maestro :icon29:

PS no idea about what AVD means........
 
Dear srgalahad :salute:
Thank you for the AVD-12 link. Beautiful :applause:
Am interested in your clue about AVD.
From the Spanish text I understand (I think) that prototype one was known to the Spanish AF as XL-10-1 and number two as XL-10B. Never know that.
 
Hello
this is my enigma which shouldn't prove difficult for such an experienced team.....
