The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Kevin:encouragement:
Sorry, no relationship with the Sandy Hudson designs.
The designer of the trimotor created at least one other original homebuilt.
 
I think this may be one of the manifestations of the Ripogle Gold Bug.

The Jane's of that era ( 1968-9) contains more ugly aeroplanes than all the other issues combined......
 
Hi Mike:very_drunk:
Inddeed the Gold Bug. Attached a photo with tghe single engine.
Have not yet figured out whether it was called Gold Bug because of the paint job or that it got the paint job because of the name.

Your turn, please

Thank you Walter -wonder why someone would go to the bother of installing three engines when one bigger one would be a lot easier !

Here's another trimotor of a different sort - don't think it has appeared here before.......

Good morning boys and girls!

Good morning Carlo - you were quick off the mark today, and absolutely correct about the sadly short-lived Loring. Over to Tuscany - :very_drunk:

Wonder if it was short lived because the door looks as if its been stolen from the local undertakers?

Thanks Chris.

I would not wait too long on this one. I know a certain Scotsman that will be ready to pounce...
