The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Well it is certainly F-PYBQ, but I have it as the Starck AS.37

Being French, it probably has several more designations, but I don't really know where Rudolf Nickel came into it ???

Anyway, back to France - :very_drunk:
 
As I understand it, Mike, all the AS.37s were equipped with pusher props. The SN.01 was, as depicted in your photograph, equipped with tractor props. And at the risk of being accused (again?) of pedantry, can you really describe it as 'a wee twin' when the only thing it had in duplicate were its props, which were driven by a single engine installed within the fuselage? If André Starck was anything, he wasn't conventional. Look at the length of time over which he persisted with the Nenodovitch wing formula.

I'm afraid that I haven't anything which is champing at the bit to be posted as the next mystery. However if time permits I will, this evening, go into the dusty recesses of my files (can one have virtual dustiness or recesses?) to see if I can find something that hasn't already been used here. If I can't, I'll throw the board open to those who are better prepared.
 
The more one reads, the more one learns. Thus I hope that my knowledge now is greater than when I posted on that thread over four years ago. To the best of my knowledge the only version of the AS.37 with tractor props is the Starck-Nickel SN.01 F-PYBQ. But I'm content to be corrected.

As there were no overnight offerings, here's a curious little aeroplane to be going on with. But no prizes for stating what powered it!

So when someone posts a picture of the Hendy Hobo, will the response be 'rapids thunder', and, if so, maybe the AC-35 will elicit 'gentle outpourings'? :excitement:
 
The small door is No.151 I think - the oil cooler air exit flap.
Belongs to the mighty Avenger! :untroubled:
