The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Spanish, perhaps? A Cierva BCD3 (Barcala-Cierva-Diaz) ?

That is it.

Over to gX.

Let’s return to colours:

 

[giruXX]

The wee thing is a chimera but known under a proper name.

 

[Dev One]

A Pietenpol Air Camper 'bitser'? (A bit of this, a bit of that, a bit of t'other).

 

[giruXX]

You are on the right track but that thing deserves a proper name.

It was built under that name much more than just once! (in contrast to earlier 'bitsers' shown here before)

 

[Dev One]

I am unable to get any further, so will have to leave it to others to define.

It always struck me that the snappiest named variant was the Wills UK LAA-approved Pietenpol Air Camper. I bet it took a committee to come up with that name!

 

[giruXX]

Look at the wing (and the main gear) ...

 

[srgalahad]

'tis a Grega GN-1 Aircamper (reg. 19-4989 from someplace downunder?)

"05/31/2008. John Grega and Elmer Niebecker produced this modernized version of the Pietenpol Air Camper in 1963. A new designed and lengthened fuselage was fitted with Piper J-3 Cub parts, including a modified clipped wing, engine mount, landing gear and tail wheel, and Aeronca controls."

since I saw the original pic, I'll make this OH as I'm in a pit of alligators til the weekend

Yes, here is the source: http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/McDonell/7867.htm
The craft has even its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grega_Aircamper

Open House!

 

[lefty]

OK, let's keep it rolling with a nice, if draughty, floater....

 

[giruXX]

Presumably the Fokker B.II Flying boat

 

[lefty]

That's it.

 

[giruXX]

Let’s keep on floating...

 

[giruXX]

The picture was taken in a northern country.

Unfortunately, the light was so glaring that the plane's national markings disappeared.

 

[lefty]

Curious, Gx, it looks like one of the Norwegian M.F. 1's, but that photo doesn't appear to show any source of propulsion ???

 

[giruXX]

I think, I see the pusher.

You are already in the right house but a wee bit off the country.

 

[lefty]

Well we'll try the Södertelge Verkstäder SW11 ?

 

[giruXX]

That appears a good try to me!

I have it as Farman HF 23, SW 11 from Sweden. The houses in the background might well have stood in Södertälje.
