The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Baragouin]

As long as we are barking up the right tree!


This one should not slow anyone down.

I opt for a Bleriot 115bis (maybe F-ESBB?)...

Spot on Carlo. It's the one named "Roland Garros".

 

[Baragouin]

Thanks Moses!
I know this is an easy one but didn't have anything better to submit!
Cheers

Hmm, getting into slightly murky waters again ! This is the Descamps A.2 - this version, with the W-12 Lorraine-Dietrich 450hp motor, is also called the DB-17.

I think.

It could, of course, also be called a Caudron ......

Hi Mike,
I have her as a Caudron-Descamps A2 with Lorraine-Dietrich
engine therefore you are perfectly spot on. Waiting now for your remarkable surprise...

Thanks Carlo - let's see if we can rouse those twin-boom pusher enthusiasts from their Sunday snooze....

 

[pomme homme]

R.A.E. Zephyr?

 

[huub vink]

R.A.E. Zephyr?

You are 100% correct!

 

[lefty]

Mike is right, indeed - another Douglas-engined machine -

Huub, nice to see a rare and exotic visitor to these parts ! You are most welcome - especially for that delightful avatar !

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Mike.

Might I offer two for the price of one?

Firstly, I think that I know the artist responsible for Huub's 'attractive' avatar. Would anyone like to let me know what aeroplane he part owns and flies?

And secondly, for those of you whose aviation library is too conventional to include the works of this artist, here's an interesting parasol wing monoplane that, as far as I can see, hasn't hitherto graced this forum.

It seems that we are in a time warp, the third Douglas-engined aircraft in less than 36 hours

This is the Camsell Monoplane from 1939

 

[pomme homme]

Groundoug Day?

Indeed it is the deliciously illegal Camsell Monoplane - although I have her as dating from 1937 - which flew sans registration, sans CofA but, apparently, surprisingly well!

So have a schnapps, Robert, but don't take a double as you didn't tell me that Romain Hugault co-owns and flies a J-3 Cub!

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Mike, I really love the comics from Charles M. Schulz or Hergé but Romain Hugault is not my field of knowledge.

Here is an aircraft definetly without a Douglas in the front row.

The Hispano Suiza E-30, later renamed Hispano E-30

 

[giruXX]

(Having difficulty tracking down that insignia - if anyone can provide a better illustration I'd be grateful)

I think I solved the riddle en passant.

It's the Spanish roundel! Some black and white films "see" yellow as black. Therefore, there is almost no gray-scale difference between red and yellow on such photos, see here.

 

[fabulousfour]

Absolutely correct!

It seems that my source was the same as your photo.


I think, after this mystery a tasty Rioja will be an adequate reward
Hope, you like red wine, Uli.

 

[giruXX]

Correct, but I had too much Rioja last night

Time for a "new" copter, perhaps?

 

[Moses03]

You Gents have been busy this morning!


That a Merckle SM-67 Uli?

[giruXX]

Yes it's the third prototype of the Merckle SM-67.

Over to Texas

 

[Moses03]

Thanks, and here is one that has not appeared before.
