The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks, Chris ! It's a flying washing machine -the Bendix Model K.

Here's wee tourer..

That Sir is an Albert TE-1.

[lefty]

Sorry, Kevin, I stopped pouring at half-glass - it's an Albert,but not the TE-1

(Already kicking myself for posting yet another machine of dubious French appellation......)

 

[pomme homme]

By a process of deduction ..... presumably it is the A-10. But I take no credit for this if that is what it is.

Edit: I retract my response as I've just found a photograph of the A-10 and it looks nothing like lefty's aeroplane. The A-10 has a parasol wing and an open cockpit (albeit that the other three occupants appear to enjoy inside accomodation). But I wonder if it might just be the elusive TE-2 with, apparently, a removable hardtop!

As usual with machinery from Gaul there is no 100% guaranteed correct answer, but that's good enough for me !

 

[Moses03]

I think the pilot got scolded for landing the company's new transport without putting the gear down...

Another one of those '...bit late on the round out Hoskins...'

Would this be the Bennett BTC-1, by any chance ? (Edit) no it's not - wing posiition and engines wrong....

 

[giruXX]

The Rafaelyants RAF-<wbr>11 from :CCCP:, perhaps?

 

[Moses03]

Nicely spotted gX. Didn't even get a chance to post another view of the crash. (Have attached it for grins).

 

[giruXX]

Just found it as well, Moses03 http://voprosik.net/samolet-raf-11/

Here comes the next challenge:

 

[Dev One]

Looks very much like Game Composites GB1, but its not got the same colour scheme.
Keith

[edit] Yes it has - just found the picture of G-IGBI which is reversed & the colour washed out in your photo!

 

[giruXX]

Keith you got it! Have a big gulp of your favourite

I was fascinated by those "invasion stripes" on the underside which make it so different from the mostly green upper side. The little rest was image processing to fool google image search.

 

[Dev One]

Thank you gxx, just off to pour one out...
Meanwhile something I hope has not been offered before & goes back to the 'dark ages'.
Keith

 

[pomme homme]

Oh, these clever people who have been initiated in the dark art of photoshopping. I consider myself to be doing well if I manage to obscure the registration mark!

 

[Moses03]

Keith- Is that the British Army / Cody No. 1 Aeroplane from 1909?
