The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I thought that might wake you up, Carlo !

It seems Frank McClean was a busy boy.

Let's stick to French designations........

Anything Franc can do Frank can do better
Frank can do anything better than Franc ..... !

Being serious now, Uli, is the Ogilvie, to whom reference is made in the caption to your latter photograph, Alexander Ogilvie of 1910/11 Gordon Bennett Trophy fame?

 

[giruXX]

yes it's him: Colonel Alec Ogilvie CBE FRAeS
cf. The Aviation Historian 06

I thought that might wake you up, Carlo !

Slowly does it Mike!
This one looks more like a cupboard but she was an experimental Flying wing (to tell you the truth I couldn't make out whether she flew or not!)

Carlo, could you post that link again, please ?

Mike, I think, Carlo's link is this one:

Why is the mafia guarding the aircraft?

 

[pomme homme]

Would you, voluntarily, have flown that? No, but if you've been made an offer that you can't refuse .......

However, having said that I thought that they were members of the KGB!

 

[lefty]

Well I eventually found the PZL 22...apparently, permission to fly was refused ! ( I think the test pilot probably slipped the authorities a few zlotys..)

 

[Moses03]

Would have been a brave soul to attempt a flight!

Yes Mike she's the PZL22 however the translation from polish to italian resulted so awkward that in the long run it didn't make sense….thanks to Robert for the cooperation I don't know what happened to my link….
Anyway looking forward to the next one!

Here is something a little more attractive in design terms.

Hi Mike
Seems like Pedro. The GCA-1 by Gruppo Construzioni Aeronautiche from Carlo`s Heimat

 

[lefty]

Pedro indeed, Walter. Over to you - - may we expect something in virginal white ???

 

[wout]

Thank you Mike
A small parasol. Post-war and reportedly flown with at least 3 engine types.

 

[Moses03]

That is the White Midget Sportplane. Built and flown in San Diego, CA 1950.

Hi Kevin
That is her. Mike asked for a White aircraft, so......

your turn, please

 

[Moses03]

I see what you did there Walter.

Onward and upward-

 

[Moses03]

Another view. First flown in 1931.

Kevin, these look like totally different aircraft !
