The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

If they did, they were Californian Boy Scouts.

OK, this was a horror, so we'll move on. It is a Volpar 4000 turbobrop Beaver, (believe it or not), a one-off. (And it's missing from that site too, Kevin) 1972-ish.

Something more accessible.
 
I think Lefty was exacting revenge for the Felio.

The new one is a Junkers Ju 49. Another one-off. Europe is asleep so will press on with this smart looking amphib-
 
Europe awakes! Is it a Supermarine Seagull ASR? Cancelled project of the late '40s, though I think they may have used the name Seagull for another aircraft.
 
Been rigging a model ship & fiddling about with fs flightplans all day. We are just getting snow off the Russian Arctic, a nice present from Vlad the Putin - which was a good excuse not to wash the car. Anyway, it's white all over now & I'm hoping not to be able to drive anywhere (like work) tomorrow!

:icon29: to grumpos. It's a bit deeper here this morning & the sky remains black at nearly 07.00...I am not inclined to make a 15 mile journey on country roads. Don't like the idea of getting snowed in at the other end either. I shall stay at home & have a go at grumpos's mystery!

Thank you, sir - mulled grog more appropriate for today, I fear !

Sticking to elderly ladies, who is this dame ?
 
Blériot 73 it was indeed.:icon29:

(Still off the sauce, although my four weeks is up. May have a wee dram or two on Friday, but otherwise am concentrating on getting the weight off. 19 pounds lost so far !!)
 
Thanks Mike & well done on your weight loss. :applause:

Here is a shiny one. Bonus points if you can tell us how this plane crashed-
 
Lockheed XP-38; "In spite of the problems encountered on its first few flights, it was decided to attempt a record transcontinental flight before delivering the XP-38 to the Army at Wright Field. At daybreak on February 11, 1939, Ben Kelsey left March Field destined for Mitchell Field, New York with refuelling stops at Amarillo, Texas and Wright Field, Ohio. On the final leg of the flight, the XP-38 lost power as Kelsey was coming in for a landing at Mitchell Field and crashed on a golf course just short of the runway. Fortunately, Lt. Kelsey was unhurt, but the XP-38 was a total loss.
