The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Not really happy with the Waco diagnosis - fin shape, wings, etc don't look quite right. It's just that radiator. Where's Kevin ?

 

[Moses03]

Never seen it before Mike. Haven't a clue about it.

 

[Moses03]

Okay then, an open board float plane...

 

[fabulousfour]

Could that be a Colombian Curtiss Falcon on floats?

 

[Moses03]

Suds for Robert!

Over to Germany.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin!

It's raining cats and dogs here, so suitable to the weather here another floater.

 

[lefty]

Can't resist any longer - Argentinian Stearman 76D-1

 

[fabulousfour]

Nothing more to add, Mike!

Over to Scotland.

 

[lefty]

Something a little larger..

 

[pomme homme]

I'll stick my neck out - as I cannot find a photograph - but could this be the Tellier 1100?

 

[lefty]

No, Mike, this is the Tellier 1000. It is European though....

 

[pomme homme]

Yes, that's the only photo of the Tellier 1000 that I could find - and I extrapolated from that, using such data as is available, to arrive at my guess at the 1100. Oh well. Tant pis!

Bresciani 2

[lefty]

Yes, the ill-fated Bresciani. Firing a 25mm cannon was tragically too much for the airframe -

Over to you, Chris

I think I might have found the answer to my mystery plane "Thomas-Morse S-1A" I think it's a Yackey Sport circa 1925-27. So the "S" might stand for Sport. They modified them with OX-5 and all upper wing panel i.e. lower wing was upper wing panels. I found pictures with various seat configurations. 1-3seats. All the pictures I've found are different. Attached is one with same type radiator.

[lefty]

Think you've cracked it, Chris. But there's something very odd about that upper wing/strut arrangement !

 

[cthornburg]

I noticed that glad someone else saw it.
