The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Something completely different:

After looking at aircraft for a long time, certain types have an indefinable 'feel' to them - you can sniff out American designs compared to British quite easily (and not just the whitewall tyres !) This one just looked Dutch to me.

Birdwatchers (of which I am one) have a term called 'jizz' - it's not the component parts, but the way they are all combined, that counts. See ? Clear as mud.

This Koolhoven got under my radar - mentioned, but no photo, in '26 Jane's. Must try harder............

 

[Moses03]

Under my radar too...ack.

Maybe I can make up for it by calling out Ferry's French veggie slicer. It's the Chauviere Gyroptere of 1927. Note the odd vertical fuselage flaps!

 

[Ferry_vO]

Over to Texas for the next one!

 

[Moses03]

A gloomy day for a photo.

 

[marijn]

biplane, three bladed prop, back shooter, in-line engine... something French?

 

[Moses03]

Not French Sir...

 

[Dev One]

Tail looks very familiar....Fairey Sea Fox, one of the two landplane versions?
Keith

 

[marijn]

You're right! the Fairey Seafox prototype K4305

 

[Moses03]

Right on Keith! One grounded Fox it is.

Over to you.
