The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Right on Green.

Here is a fancy new prototype just out of the factory.

 

[giruXX]

The Nakajima AT-2 perhaps?

 

[Moses03]

As the great Brooks Hatlen once said, "easy peasy Japanesy".

Suds for Uli on the AT-2.

 

[giruXX]

thanks and straight on with this

Armstrong Whitworth Apollo? On reflection, I think not - because of the tail wheel and twin fins! (which are more suggestive of the De Havilland Albatross)

 

[fabulousfour]

I think this is a De Havilland Albatross.

 

[giruXX]

You think right, it's the Albatross

 

[fabulousfour]

Staying with low-winged aircraft, but reducing power, speed, capacity...

 

[fabulousfour]

The plane is from Europe, first flight in the early 1930s.

 

[fabulousfour]

The first engine of the aircraft was an Argus, later it was reengined with a Salmson AD 9.
Despite good flight characteristics the development was halted after 2 aircraft had been completed.

Founder of the company was a former WWI-ace.

 

[pomme homme]

Is that the Fieseler F 4?

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Fieseler F 4!
Gerhard Fieseler was an ace at the eastern front and the highest scoring survivor from there.

Over to you, Mike.

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Robert. Now whilst I suspect that the identification of the aeroplane illustrated below will not be very challenging, what I also wish to know is what is the connection between it and Robert's previous aeronautical offering!

 

[lefty]

Yes I think I have it. Michel Detroyat, flying an MS225 like this one, lost the 1934 World aerobatic contest to Gerhard Fieseler ? Here they are-

 

[pomme homme]

Well done, Mike, correct on every count! I shall look forward to un mystère d'Ecosse.

 

[lefty]

Well, Mike, there's not much Ecossais about this one, and, I suspect, not much of a mystery to our regulars. But it's an unusual twin anyway -

Hi Mike
The sole unique only-of-a-kind D-KCAS also referred to as the Blanik 2M of L-13-2M. Developed by Theodor Sigmund and his Flugtechnik Sigmund .
Two 22hp Lloyd LS-400 engines. Understand that Dr. Albert Vogel also played a (important) role.

 

[lefty]

Not really surprising it was a one-of-a-kind, Walter, eh ? A couple of lawnmower engines....not for me ! Over to you

 

[pomme homme]

Two 22hp Lloyd LS-400 engines.

A couple of lawnmower engines....not for me !

Crikey, Mike, what sort of lawn mower do you have? These engines powered a small car which could achieve 75 kph!

Learned about the existence of this one only today, although she is from 1992 already.
Could not find too many details. I am open to reliable info

If you surf the fora for "novelties" you may have found her also.
