The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

One man's junk ....... !

And anyway, 'inherited' implies that either it was willingly given or legimately passed. Ask any Frenchman and I doubt that you'd find one who is d'accord.

I've often had visions (nightmares?) of a gaggle of German officers and aero mechanics touring France in 1940, sipping on 'inherited' Calvados, muttering "What are we going to DO with all this #&*^@#$" ...

Allumette, je le brûlerai

Hi boys and girls!
after giggling over the last few posts let me submit following undoctored item:

[lefty]

I've obviously struck a sensitive nerve here, so in the interests of Euro-harmony (Dave, Angela, are you listening ?) please substitute the term 'junk' with 'imaginatively designed Gallic flying apparatus'

(If necessary, you may substitute 'imaginatively' with 'whimsically', 'optimistically' or, quite often, 'bizarrely'.)

Hi BG.

Maybe a Danish trainer/reconnaissance aircraft - the Royal Army Aircraft Factory I O - based on the Fokker C.I?

 

[huub vink]

The O-Maskinen (OII) from the Hærens Flyveskole.......

Cheers,
Huub

Oooh, I do like to see some Romain Hugault BD artwork being used as an avatar. I doubt that my wife would let me!

Oh, and lefty, I don't wish to offend. Post Brexit, I may need to ask you to sponsor my application for Scottish nationality so that I can remain an EU national. The Auld Alliance! It's all down to my ma greet grammar, Pommette McHomme!

Hello Green and Huub-Vink
Green you were the first to reply and gave an almost exact designation however Huub-Vink gave the exact answer this being Maskine II-O an advanced trainer built by Flyvertroppernes Verkstaeder delivered in 1933 under serial O-72 ( I understand the only difference between Maskine O-I and O-II consists in the fact that the former was a single seater whereas the latter was a double seater ).
Therefore I think Huub-Vink should go ahead (unless moderators think otherwise)...
Cheers

I don't know whether this one has been here before, but in any case I think its an easy one............

Looks like Aussie pilots...

 

[lefty]

Aussies? Swedes, methinks. The FVM Tummelisa.

 

[huub vink]

Lefty is correct (as usual) . Its indeed the Swedish advanced trainer FVM Tummelisa pictured at Götenborg.

You can find its history here: http://www.avrosys.nu/aircraft/Flygkomp/022_tummelisa/22Lisa.htm

Hello Chris
after reading the History of Danish Aviation of Ole Nicolajsen in the PDF format on the net I think it is safe to assume the following:
- Items from serial number O-56 thru O-70 (I-O) had a BMW engine
- Items from serial number O-71 thru O-78 (II-O) had a Mercedes engine

If you have time and are willing to do so please read the a.M. PDF
Cheers

Treading precariously here, I give you an obscurity, and one about which I am not 100% sure ! Pretty certain that at least one of you will put me right !

 

[cthornburg]

Thanks for the info.

Hi MIke
The little known Carmier T-10 (or Model 10) homebuilt from France. F-WBBG by Mr. Pierre Carmier, built 1946

 

[lefty]

Indeed it is, Walter. Check this one out in AviaFrance and you will find a rather different-looking machine - apparently rebuilt after the war. Over to the Low Lands.

Hi Mike . Thanks for the info.
How about this nice hing wing turboprop job.

 

[Green]

Hi Wout.

Looking at the tail - Antonov An-2?? That's been through a band-saw and had a nose transplant?
