The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Basically yes Mike, this particular diesel version is a 105 but 10 works for me.

Have at it-

Here's one you could have bought post-war for a three-figure sum.....

 

[lefty]

East coast USA. Lycoming engine.

 

[Moses03]

I have seen this one before. Trying to jog my memory...

Hi Mike
The Ross RS-2L (L for Lycoming?) ?

 

[Moses03]

Got it! Just unearthed this from my archives.

Edit: Wout beat me to the punch!

 

[lefty]

Yes, Walter nicked it ! I was a little out with the price - the original 1939 version was $875.

Over to Holland.

 

[wout]

Thank you Mike
Sorry Kevin, but here is another your chance!
All I can disclose is that the regisration on the aircraft does not contain an N.

 

[wout]

Sorry, sorry, sorry
She has a registration containing an N, but not the FAA way

Walter, my search for aircraft manufactured in Nicaragua, Nepal and Nigeria failed to turn up this Tucano clone, so I'll have to leave it to chaps with more up-to-date books than me ! (Norway too!)

The scenery looks like somewhere hottish.....

 

[wout]

Hi MIke
The N is in the five letter registration (no.4), but so many countries have five letter registrations.
You are right about the hottish scenery. You may find several (maybe all?) of the big five over there.

OK, I looked harder in Zuid Afrika, and came up with ZU-CNH, the Lammer Geyer Jupiter ?

 

[wout]

Hi Mike
Excellent research. The Jupiter it is
Looking forward to your next challenge.

 

[lefty]

Thanks Walter - probably prefer a hot toddy to a cool drink - succumbing to one of those wretched summer colds !

Here's a neat trainer -

Caproni Ca 164 hiding in French markings.

[lefty]

Well spotted, Chris - one of 6 originally ordered for the French navy but subsequently passed over to the Armée de l'Air for its pilot training school at Nîmes-Courbessac.

 

[cthornburg]

Not sure is used before but a new aircraft.

Whatever it is I certainly don't like the position of that emergency exit, it looks very close to the prop!

Harbin Y-12F?

 

[Ferry_vO]

The Chinese AVIC Harbin Y12F.

The latest development with almost everything redesigned: wider fuselage, new wings, retractable landing gear and more powerful engines. The turbine engines are more powerful PT6A-65B. Due to all the improvement, Y-12F has high cruise speed and long range, it can accommodate 19 passenger or carry cargo in 3 LD3 containers. The design started at April 2005 and maiden flight on December 29, 2010. It received the CAAC type certification on December 10, 2015, and the FAA type certification on February 22, 2016.[SUP] [/SUP] It has been also demonstrated during the 2012 Zhuhai Airshow.
