The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

That is O-BAFK, the A.C.A.Z. T.2 two-seater monoplane from Zeebrugge. 'Designed for the owner-pilot of limited means'. I like that.

 

[fabulousfour]

Close enough, I have it as T.1.
However,the registration is correct and both planes seem to have differed only in details.

Over to you, Mike

 

[lefty]

I suspect you are right, Robert, and, not for the first time, Jane's is wrong ! Incidentally, whilst searching in '100 Ans d'Aviation en Belgique' I discovered that A.C.A.Z. only became the name of the company in 1925 - prior to that it was ZACCO - much better !

It's ages since we had a floater - here's a nice anonymous-looking one -

Hi Lefty
This looks to me like a CANT 7ter but it's hard to say because your pic looks more like a silhouette..therefore I'm not sure
Cheers

[lefty]

It's a bit dark but there's enough detail - for you to get the answer ! Yes, it's the Cant 7. Over to you, Carlo

Thanks Lefty!
In order to keep the forum moving I'm submitting this biplane which up to a few days ago was totally unknown to me!
Cheers

Lefty

on the Cant 7 was there anymore info. Was it Cant 7, bis, ter? Any I-???? info.

Chris

 

[lefty]

Chris, my source is Jane's 1926 - notoriously unreliable - but this is I-ONEA, the Cant 7, with 160hp Isotta-Fraschini engine. The -bis model had the beefier 250hp motor, and the -ter an SPA 6A.

No takers yet for my yesterday's post? maybe a clue is in order....the men wear a Akubra hat which is usually used in a very specific place...besides in that particular spot only a handful of manufacturers are to be found…

[pomme homme]

Well, it definitely ain't a DHA-3 Drover!

Well at least you are in the right continent!

Nice one, Carlo!

I'll leave it to someone else since I'm probably away from home until tomorrow evening.

 

[lefty]

Eventually found it - the gear is the giveaway - but I'm away too, so I think Robert should put this one to bed....

 

[fabulousfour]

Back home now, so I will solve this mysterious biplane from Down Under.

It is the Genairco VH-UOS with a Siemens engine, that bird crashed in New Caledonia some miles away from home...

The strange thing is that I knew the Genairco biplanes in its original form, but the radial engine altered the shape so perfectly that I hadn't the slightest idea about this mystery.

I was looking for a biplane of a South American Air Force at first...

Thanks for holding back, Mike!

A perfect identification Robert needless to say the roundels are a fake! and now the ball is on your side…..
Cheers
Carlo
PS I forgot to add that the nickname of this bird was "La Roussette"

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Carlo.

Here is another floater.

 

[lefty]

Considerable confusion (and not just on Lefty's part !) about the plethora of broadly similar designs produced by this company, but I'll plump for the CAMS 46

 

[fabulousfour]

Right on, Mike, it is the CAMS 46!

Over to Scotland!

 

[lefty]

Here's scruffy bunch oblivious to the hazards of smoking around aircraft - what is the machine they are with ?

Perhaps just perhaps a Aero A32?
