The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

That was nearly an "anti-clue" but now the penny has dropped

That's a Heinkel HE 18.

I guess I know now any Scandinavian/Baltic light aircraft personally...

 

[giruXX]

I thought you knew where Warnemünde is

correct in all aspects

 

[fabulousfour]

Sure I know the location of Warnemünde, but at first I thought you meant the Baltic states when you wrote "Baltic Sea"

I guess this one has never seen the Baltic Sea

G'day mate...

 

[fabulousfour]

Time for a clue:

Originally the type was built for a completely different purpose more than half a century ago...

 

[Dev One]

Grumman Ag Cat VH-KKD?
Keith

 

[fabulousfour]

That's the bird!

Also called Grumman Seacat or Red Baron Seaplane.

Over to you, Keith!

 

[Dev One]

Thank you F4,
Here then is my offering, hoping that its not been shown before...
Keith

That's the Danton biplane of 1911 - according to Jane's 'the first tractor biplane with a backward "stagger" to the planes'.

 

[Dev One]

I thought it might be up your street Mike! of home brew cider for the Gent. I gather Danton was the guy who coughed up the cash to build it, someone else (can't remember his name at the mo), designed it.
Over to you.
Keith

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Keith. A backward stagger also tends to be the result of drinking too much of my homemade cider! So let's stick with staggers, but this time a pronounced forward stagger.

 

[giruXX]

I found it as Volland V-10, F-AOZR from

 

[pomme homme]

Well done. Your search has, then, yielded a correct identification. On y va!

 

[giruXX]

Thx Mike. And here we go with the next one

 

[wout]

Hi giruXX
A longshot. The Graf Saurma GS-V Milan (D-EJAL)?

 

[giruXX]

Hi Walter,

your direct shot killed the bird

over to wout

 

[lefty]

Curiously, both this bird and the Volland have been here before, in 2010 and 2015 respectively - here is a nice photo of the Graf-Sauma provided by Kevin, if anyone is interested !

 

[pomme homme]

If I'm responsible for using the V-10 twice, my apologies. A google search didn't throw this up and my memory just isn't sufficiently reliable to remember what I was doing two years ago, let alone longer! I thought that I'd only previously used it in 'another place' and then with a different photograph. Mea culpa.

 

[giruXX]

Neither "Milan" nor "Saurma" didn't yield the GS V in THIS thread

 

[Moses03]

No worries. I was impressed that gX had a photo of the Milan airborne!
