The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Oddball time.:jump:

This one took to the skies about a year before WWII ended. It was a rework of a very common civil tourer.
 
Hey all, I would normally string this along a bit further but I'm in the middle of setting up a new pc (argh!). Will be out of pocket some the next couple of days. Open board please.

<center>[h=2]Ludington-Griswold[/h]</center><small>(C Townsend) Ludington-(Roger) Griswold Aircraft Co, CT.</small>1944 = 2pChwM; 125hp Menasco C-4. Fairchild 22 with experimental wing comprised of a series of flaps, and with wingtip fins. Complicated arrangement proved to be unrewarding, and the plane was sold [NX14768].
 
Ahhh, that explains why I couldn't find it in a search - '2pChwM'. Doesn't look very 'C' to me ! :untroubled:

Anyway, good luck with the new rig. Changing one's computer is a bit like moving house - after days of toil and angst, you swear you are never going to do that again. :banghead:

Never mind, when this new one finally expires, its replacement will probably be something you wear on your wrist.........
 
In the Texas maestro's absence, we'll throw in a nice easy one so we'll see who the weekend early birds are !

(the BIG aeroplane, by the way!)

Ain't that the truth! Not enjoying this at all. Windows 8.1 is pushing my patience. (Have to stay ahead of the curve I guess).


Can't pass up the one and only De Havilland DH.72.:triumphant:
 
That's the one, Kevin, designed to the same spec as the Boulton Paul, hence the similarity.

Well you must be doing something right - you got something posted ! I never bothered with Win 8 - couldn't see the point if you don't have touch screen, and I'm not really comfortable with those. I have great difficulty trying to navigate around my Android tablet - must be the elderly fingers losing it. Although mercifully I can still hold down a chord on the Gibson.........

Over to you sir - hope the vaults are still accessible in the new machine ! :very_drunk:

Hope they give you a cheap upgrade to Win 9 !
 
That is correct Huub. :very_drunk:

It could also be a SNCAC NC.510 as it was built in 1938 after the nationalization.

Over to you.

Great! Finally I managed to identify one! I will post the new question as soon as I get home.

Cheers,

That's what I thought too, but getting nowhere, and what you can see of the number confuses me. Is that a Renard engine ??
 
It is not Belgian. Those who know me, know I have a soft spot for the aircraft used by the bad guys.

The engine is not Renard, but providing you the engine manufacturer would make it too easy.

Cheers,
Huub
