The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Robert, I think we have a Wibault 12 Scirroco here ?

Mike, I have it as the Wibault 121, but I will not be too picky.

Over to Scotland.

Thank you Robert - it seems unlikely that we will ever post a non-controversial French machine ! The books say that the Wibault 121 was the same as the 12 Sirocco, with the addition of 'wing guns'. (I've never seem a photo of that installation - does anyone have it?) Your photo says Wibault 12 on the tail unit......

To make matters worse, the Vickers-Wibault 121 was a different machine altogether...

Now I'm not averse to a spot of recycling - this floater with its happy pilot was posted quite a few years ago -none of the then regulars got it - I'm sure today's crack shots will have this one identified right away.

Well that was the "Aiglon-Roulier flying-boat from 1917"

Yep, the good old days before that damned google image search about ruined our fun little hobby.

Here are two pretty ladies (but I don't think that anybody knows both):

Mary Lou Benson is modeling a Champion Tri-Traveler.

I can only comment on the Aircraft which is id'd correctly
Over to Texas

Thanks Uli. How about this pleasing tourer?

Hi Kevin
Maybe the 1954 Faust Model 3 (301) by Elmer Faust, using PA-12 and F-24W parts/components?
My guess is purely based on the b/w striping of the tail, which on colour pics is blue/yellow.

 

[Moses03]

It is the one and only Faust. Last seen as a float plane somewhere in Alaska.

Over to Walter-

I had never heard of this one until a couple of weeks ago. This aerobatic tandem 2-seater already flew 2013.

She is European, but country of origin may be surprise. Engine is a Lycoming AEIO-360 and she is stressed for +7/-4G.
Steel tube/alu covered fuselage, alu wings.

This is the Laros-100 from the Laros Design Bureau from Russia. Seems the DB is a fan of the New Zealand rugby team.
Registration is RA-1989G

The door is wide open, so do not hesitate......

 

[fabulousfour]

How about this breezy flyer?

 

[Moses03]

First flew the year I was born.

 

[pomme homme]

It looks a bit primitive for a 1997 aircraft!

Hi fabolousfour
The all-red Aero Car 3 by Joseph L. Halsmer in final form (4-wheel u/c arrangement). N9085C.
Here a photo in original form with conventional tri-gear

Nothing more to add, Walter!

And thanks for the photo, I didn't know that.
