The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

With such a low resolution image, it's hard to get any feel for what it is - even to work out whether it's a single or dual seat aeroplane! But by reference to its overall appearance, I'll hazard a guess at a Carden Ford engined Chilton D.W.1.

Hi Mike!
My apologies for the terrible pic! Well I suppose that at this stage, to keep the thread moving on, it is best to reveal the name which, according to a usually reliable site, should be L.K.O.D.-4...
Cheers

Open House!

Sorry she is a high wing type. But....-you must agree, with a difference!
When needed I will post a photo where she is bigger.

The fact that it appears to have its undercarriage retracted suggests a Heston Phoenix. But on reflection, the clothing of the people in the foreground seems to post-date 1952, when the Last Phoenix crashed, so maybe not .....

Looks like a Stinson Sentinel with retracting gear.

Original design. Now in a museum. Year 1947
A better photo. Will post a side view, if necessary.

Hmmmm

Photo while on the ground. Engine is a Lycoming O-290 and she is red all over (in the museum).

Hi fabulousfour
That is her.
If there is any beer left and the temperatures allow it, please keep us busy

Too early for a beer and temperatures are bearable yet but will rise to about 35 C this day...

So here is a mystery with a built-in fresh breeze.

 

[fabulousfour]

The plane got several modifications during its life including a closed canopy, with a further modification the plane got some fame in a distance flight showing the safeness of amateur-built aircraft.

Hi fabulousfour
Could this be the Bogardus Little Bee Gee (NX31250)?

 

[wout]

sorry, Little Gee Bee (LGB)

 

[fabulousfour]

Close, but no cigar, Walter.

The mystery is a few years older.

 

[wout]

My final guess: The Long Wimpy?

 

[fabulousfour]

That's the bird!

Here is the unretouched photo.

Over to you, Walter

Not a low wing, not a high wing.not a parasol wing type, but this one has FSW (forward swept wings).
