The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Yes, I noticed in the color picture at the bottom of the link James sent, you can see the angled firewall and the track for the canopy as well.

I said you guys are awesome, and I am sure the person who shared it will be thank you as well. A :icon29: for the Yorkshire James. Over to you.
 
Typical, I finally win one and I've volunteered myself as driver tonight! (Nevermind, always tomorow)

This one isn't likely to last too long.
 
Well, Wout, you won't be getting any answers from me today - off to take the mother-in-law out to lunch.:frown:

All I can say is that your mystery is a low-wing two-seater with fixed undercarriage and a Continental/Lycoming engine.

That narrows it down to about 2,000 types. Over to you, Moses03 !:applause:
 
Dear Lefty,
I donot know about the other 1,999.
First Morrisey Nifty, than Shinn 2150, than Varga Kachina 2150/2180 and ending with Montanair 2180 Swift. New tail, new canopy, new cowling. Montanair acquired rights to the Kachina, but only built two 1989-1990
Await your next one
 
I'm back! Seems you missed your chance to sneak a few twin boom pushers through. :p:

Wout- We appreciate your interest in the light GA single rarities but it is making the regulars a bit anxious. We try to steer clear of those unless of really unusual design. No worries. The rule goes if no one guesses it you get to keep control of the board with a new one so post away.
 
To try to explain a bit further - it may seem we are knocking you back here but it isn't meant that way.

Here's an example - four high-wing monoplanes from different countries - three are Taylorcraft clones, which, stripped of markings, are very difficult to pin down - and there are hundreds more like them !

The other is at least a bit different, and, well, more interesting !
 
Got the message. Hope your remark did not insult the designers in India, Argentina and Brazil or Cessna and/or SIAI. I think they will not agree entirely. For me a DC-8 is not a B707 clone, nor is the Trident a B727 clone.
To break away from the high wing/single engine types, try this one.
 
Ehue, tu quoque, wout!

Yes, came across that avatar somewhere & thought it might serve as a useful reminder of the first stage of i/d'ing any aircraft...

Sticking to twin-prop, twin-tailfin Beechcraft clones from obscure corners of the planet:
 
Viva Mexico!
TTS-5 of National Aircraft Factory, built around 1946, with two Ranger L-440-6 engines.
