The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Indeed sir. :very_drunk:

Looks as though your boys have a firm grip on the Ryder Cup. Great golf, great TV.
Over to the Hotlands....
 
Good to see our boys holding their own at the moment. The last few years have not gone so well for our Ryder Cup teams!

Here is a new entry into the mystery plane world.

1. Yes

2. Yes

Interesting in that this was not a one-off. Three were built in the 1920's from a small outfit.
 
It was on display at the Detroit show in the late 1920's. One version was powered by a Cirrus Hermes. It soldiered on until about 1938.

Another view-

Not an Overcashier. Time to reveal methinks.

This is the Pheasant Traveler. The second and last design from the Pheasant Aircraft Co before they merged with another company in 1930.


Onward and upward. Maybe this one will be a little easier?

I was so blind with the Pheasant Traveler. :banghead: I have 2 photos of it.

Now back to the plastic age, if you don’t mind. What’s this “flying half-fuselage”?

This maybe a development of the Adelle called the "Farmer" built in Russia by a Mr. Ustinov?

Found a couple of photos but no definitive designation that I could find.

I have it as “Agro-Avia Adel / Orshik” in Janes 2010 and as precursor of the “GiRos-1 Fermer” in Janes 2015. Over to you, Moses03 :icon29:
 
You are too kind with my ham-fisted handling of the autogyro. Google translate was having some fun I suppose.

Here is a monoplane on display to consider.

More thunder from the Forest.:very_drunk: Over to gX.

I believe Ardea is the name of the design firm and not for the aircraft itself? Not too much out there about it.
 
I found it in Flugsport 1921:

Das Schulflugzeug „Ardea" Prag Typ B. P. 1, ein Eindecker mit dicken Flügeln, welche durch je zwei Strebenpaare abgefangen sind, ist mit 70 PS Mercedes Motor ausgestattet.

When I saw the following cuty I had to take some pictures. I hope you like her as well and can identify her. :encouragement:

With my vast knowledge of plastic bouncers (as well as flivvers!) I can tell you this is the Rotortec Cloud Dancer 2. :germany:

(OK, there is some aluminium in it ......)

There's a YouTube video of it flying. Noisy wee b*****
