The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks Robert.

Here is a contemporary of the Farman. I know srgalahad will appreciate the extra grain.

Okay, this is the generically named Petit Avion from M.R. Vincent. It was a solid first effort but not sure if he had a hand in any designs later on.

Thought pomme homme might be wise to this one as he likes these types usually.

Open board then-
 
Apologies, Kevin. Yes, it's the sort of avionette that is right up my street and whilst I noted that you'd posted it I didn't, due to unfortunately irrestible demands on my time of late, have the opportunity to trawl Les Ailes of 1927/28 in search of an identity for it.
 
It looks as if with the good weather in Western Europe, everyone has gone on holiday! Anyhow, here's something which should appeal to lefty as it was flatpack by design!

 
My first thought was Hurel-Dubois HD.10, but that isn't her, too short wings and only a single fin to name just some of the most obvious differences.

How about the Morane-Saulnier MS.661?
 
I thought that this mystery would last longer.
Less than 10 minutes, is that a new record? :dizzy:

Of course it is the AIDC from Taiwan. :icon29:

Over to you, wout! :encouragement:
 
Looks like a clone of the MS-661, but is an original design. Note te lack of wingstruts

I recognised this immediately, but it is from a site which has now sadly disappeared. It's the Turbay T-11 Cacique from Argentina.

Anyone know if the Group Aracu site has been preserved anywhere ?

In the meantime thanks Ferry for the archive you did some time ago !
 
Yes, that was a really good site that now has disappeared into Nirwana.

I have an archived site, where at least the registrations and the types of aircraft can be found, sadly a klick on the links for the photos is of no use.

Perhaps it helps.

Hi Mike
unfortunately I got in too late for the "Turbay" from Argentina and sorry to hear that the Grupo Aracuan has disappeared from the net. Fortunately I saved most of the therein pictured aircrafts
long time ago!
Cheers
Carlo
 
I was waiting for the OK from Walter, but hope he will forgive me for carrying on in the interests of continuity....

Here's a very easy floater - an extra single malt if you can tell me the famous traveller...

Mike, did you get divine assistance when posting this mystery?
Believe it or not, the traveller I has my surname, if I'm not completely on the wrong track. :very_drunk:
