[giruXX]

that's sad

Here is a replacement:

 

[giruXX]

No takers?

Look at the wing construction as a hint!

 

[Moses03]

Had a feeling it was from the Orient. It's the Fukuda Hikari Research 2.

 

[giruXX]

Spot on moses03

For a "replacement mystery" I thought I should take something deducible from my previous posts.

 

[Moses03]

Okay then, see where this goes...

 

[fabulousfour]

At first glance I thought this is an Alcor design but now I think this bird might come from Down Under.

Is that the Harkness + Hillier All Australian racer?

 

[Moses03]

Indeed it is. As part of a PR stunt, they built the plane in a department store so the public could watch the progress. Once the designers realized they could not finish in time for the London-Melbourne race funding and interest dried up. Not sure what became of the airframe.

Suds for Robert.



PS: I know we are not supposed to post non-flyers but every now and then you get a real interesting story...

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks for the additional picture, Kevin.

No non-flyers? I had just prepared an interesting one as my new mystery as a follow-on.

In this case, what about this airplane?

 

[giruXX]

Hallo Robert,

is that an Udet U10 ?

 

[fabulousfour]

According to my source not a U.10, Uli, but you could call it a near miss.

If the experts here haven't visited the Key historic forum lately interesting unkown.

[lefty]

It looks like the U-6, but Uli should definitely get the sauce !!

 

[fabulousfour]

Udet U-6 was what I wanted to read

So half a pint for both of you

 

[giruXX]

I just identified it as the U-6

and here is my next offer

 

[wout]

hi giruXX
One of the first "composite" material lightplanes, the unique Piper PA-29 Papoose (N2900M)?

 

[giruXX]

Yes indeed (your terrain)

 

[fabulousfour]

If the experts here haven't visited the Key historic forum lately interesting unkown.

With a bit of phantasy the first letters on the dark colour on the fuselage might be PATRI (like patriotic or patriotism, what language soever). Does that ring a bell somewhere?

 

[wout]

This one can fairly be described as a parasol wing. However, she was not born this way
