The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Not a SIAI Chris.

Of note: It had an Isotta-Fraschini V.4 engine.

 

[Moses03]

Last gasp...this was from a well-known designer who had his hands in many projects both civil and military. He passed away in 1961.

I think this is the Pegna VI from Giovanni Pegna.

 

[Moses03]

Done and done! To Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin! It was indeed the year that helped to solve this mystery.

Here is another biplane.

 

[pomme homme]

Looks to have Avro 504 ancestry.

 

[fabulousfour]

Not from the Avro stable, Mike.

 

[fabulousfour]

From a well known manufacturer that had quite a reputation for his WW1 aircraft.

 

[lefty]

In which case, Robert, is it the Sopwith Grasshopper ?

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Grasshopper, Mike!

Kind of strange that Sopwith went out of business after difficulties selling motorcycles...

Over to you, Mike

Thanks, Robert. Before I head off for my traditional Friday 'refreshment', we'll have another floater ! (Can't have too many....) (refreshments, I mean....)

It's the Chilean D.H.53 Humming Bird that appears at http://ivansiminic.blogspot.com/2007/11/dh53-humming-bird-en-la-aviacin-militar.html. Although which of the D.H.53s it was, I know not.

Hi Mike!
Indeed she's the DH53 Humming Bird which I got thru the same link...next move is yours…
Cheers
Carlo

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Carlo. By a process of elimation, I wonder whether this Hummingbird was G-EBRA? I also wonder if it aspired to a Chilean civil registration?

As we are approaching Christmas, the season of festive fun, might I offer a somewhat different approach to the next mystery aircraft? Yes, we've had her before - but not like this, which is something in the nature of an aeronautical 'dance of the seven veils'! I suspect that I won't get as far as removing all of the veils but, to start, here she is fully veiled - but exactly as supplied by the manufacturer!

 

[pomme homme]

And the first veil is cast off .....

 

[giruXX]

That's the Sablatnig P III

(I remember the photos from Flugsport 1920)
