    Thanks to everyone who donated.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

And if Pomme Homme hadn't posted the Volland a second time I would have missed the picture since I'm new here. :ernaehrung004:

Never seen a picture of the Saurma-Jeltsch in flight!

BTW: I love this thread! :wavey:
 
Fully agree! Very nice surprise to see this Milan in flight, thanks giruXX :applause:
Has been a while since we had a chopper.

Hi giruXX:encouragement:
I honoustly donot know whether an An-13 nose section was used. But why not......would not exclude that.
 
I think this is the Sverbil SV-2 from the Soviet Union.

On this site is another picture (about at half of the site) from which I believe that it is the same kite.

If correct the beer has to go to giruXX, without his remark about the Antonov I never would have found that helicopter.
 
I don’t agree with the credit. I identified a similar nose at best, but Fab4 went up to the tail!:very_drunk: Also, I don’t want to play ping-pong (I posted the previous mystery). Therefore, either Fab4 :ernaehrung004: should post the next one or Open House.
 
Hi Fab4 :very_drunk: and Hi giruXX:very_drunk:
Sherlock and the Doctor did it again (leave it to you who is who). Congratulations, the Sverbil SV-2 it is.
Thanks for the article, always keen to keep learning.
Understand we can expect the new one from Fab4
 
I'll take a guess at it being one of the Breguet 27# series. But if so, I can't be more specific as to the precise model (although, on reflection, I'll stick my neck out and say a Bre 270 A2).
 
Breguet 27 is completely sufficient for me as the picture has no caption to specify the precise model.
But since the article where the photo appears is about the Breguet, it must of course be of the 27X series.

A votre santé :icon29:

Over to Pomme Homme!
 
Well done, giruXX. It seems to be known as both the Dyott Bomber and the Dyott Battleplane of 1915. I thought that it might have lasted longer as pictures of it are not exactly thick on the ground (and thinner still on the internet). But you've nailed it, so it's over to you.
 
Kaibo Gikai KB from 1924. Imagine the pilot did not like the somewhat blocked lateral views!

I have always thought that, for 1924, this was a very neat and futuristic design, especially when you look at British, French and American designs of the same period...all struts and string......
 
Something from the grain archive. Wing seems strong enough right?
