The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Green]

Well done.
All yours.

Thanks, G. Here's one that I couldn't find on a search, so if it has been here before, apologies.

I like it, anyway.

First thought about Arado because of the tail, however, that was the wrong track.

That plane is the Nieuport-Delage NiD 122.

Not too bad looks for a French aircraft.

 

[lefty]

I agree on all counts, Robert -

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Mike.

I guess this biplane shouldn't bother you for too long.

 

[fabulousfour]

This was the most produced aircraft of this manufacturer with about as many aircraft built of that stable as all others combined.

 

[fabulousfour]

This European manufacturer literally terminated to exist in 1940.

Koolhoven FK 51

[fabulousfour]

Finally, it is the Koolhoven.
Wouldn't have thought that this mystery would last so long.

Over to you, Chris.

 

[cthornburg]

I waited for awhile to give someone else a chance. Here's another biplane.

That, sir, is the Cox-Klemin TW-2.

It was the tail of the Koolhoven that was foxing me - it being the earlier 'Spanish' rounded model. Spent a long time convinced it was a Meridionali !

 

[cthornburg]

you got it. I knew it but the roundel on the wing helped me.

Chris

 

[lefty]

Thanks Chris. Here's a twin - not difficult but a debutante here......maybe !

 

[Green]

Tyrov/Tairov Ta-3?

 

[lefty]

Yes, G, or sometimes called OKO-6bis. Bit of a mystery ship. Over to you

 

[Green]

Cheers Mike!

Besson MB.411?

 

[lefty]

Think I'll leave this to our chums in Gaul, G !

 

[Green]

Besson MB.411?

That'll do me mate.
Captioned the MB.35 - but they're closely related - on the Surcouf. Tis a model after all.

Over to you sir...

 

[lefty]

Have been doing a bit of research on the Bessons since you posted it - and am curious about the three-view in Morareau's Aeronefs de L'Aviation Maritime.

This shows a quite different tail conformation to the more commonly depicted one, which is more or less identical to the MB35, which was originally intended for the Surcouf.

I know there were only two built - wonder if they were different ?
