The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Didn't think a twin would get by you, Kevin,..........and I was right..


Wout is obviously slumbering too!
 
Still holiday time here, and very hot and humid here at the moment!

The aircraft is of course the only Koolhoven F.K.57, the PH-KOK.
 
Welcome back, Ferry ! Of course it's the Koolhoven - now did into the Ferryfiles for something interesting ! :icon29:
 
Most of the photos in my archive I found here; over 1,800 shots and counting! :applause: Might as well zip it up and upload it to the library here someday..

Here's a helo that looks like it came from a comic book:

Yes, it's très Thunderbirds !

I knew this one - the Sud-Est (or SNCASE if you must) SE-700. Only the French.........

(Ferry, we would all love to see your photos, only I know it would make me sick and want to throw away my cameras..........a bit like when I watch John Jorgenson on guitar....)
 
The Se-700 it is!

And those 1,800 photos are just the ones posted in these 'mystery planes' threads! I think I've managed to save most of those over the years. :)
 
I've saved a lot of the images but unfortunately never got around to labelling them all. Doooohhhh.......

Think I've posted this before but I do quite like it....
 
Hi Mike :salute:
A beauty, I want one!
I would say something (Johnson) Rocketish. The AMC Texas Bullet by (Texas) Aircraft Manufacturing Co?
Efforts to revive it later as the Gem Aircraft Sky Gem failed.
Any chance of a pic with registration at later stage?
Selfish me, I alternatively vote for the Regent Rocket (with tri-gear and also strongly original Rocket influenced) if not the Texas Bullet.
 
Correct as ever, Walter - although to be exact, this is the Bullet 185 - the later 205 differs a bit.

Over to you sir :icon29:


(Pics mailed to you)
 
Hi Kevin :salute:
As usual and expected from you, fully correct:icon29:

Sorry, but only one beer today, because I need the other one myself with the 2-day heatwave approaching
 
Stay cool Walter.


Here is a nifty pusher prototype. Should be easy for you post war fans.

Hi Kevin :salute:
It looks very much like the Bryan Model 1 (roadable) aircraft of 1953 by Leland Bryan.
I know of pics with the N5787N registration on the tail., but never saw a pic with EXP, so I may be wrong after all.
 
:icon29: For the original Bryan Autoplane roadable. I could not find a pic with the reg. Do you have one handy?
 
It is a homebuilt and one-of-a-kind
The colors on the plane could act as hint.
Despite the rocky background, pic not taken in USA as it is not American/Canadian
The gentleman designed/built at least 2 more aircraft.
 
I have been in South Africa this year, Walter, and once you have experienced the extraordinary scenery,and the light, there, you can always recognise it.

This is the Van Aswegen Vansin from Plettenburg Bay. A Castle for Lefty, please.........
