The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Well I can't find much more after the Yak 20/UT-2. Maybe some postwar reincarnation - anyone else out there ??

 

[Baragouin]

Yes -told you it was easy !

RE Aviafrance - thought it might be a Firefox issue - cleared cache etc - no joy. Tried in Chrome and it works, but painfully slowly.

Hi All!

with me Aviafrance works beautifully on Chrome!
Cheers

Probably not?

Time to reveal, perhaps. Two for lefty then (who spent a lot of effort).

It is the UT-2 replica built by Rusavia, registered RA-2724G, and first flown on 13th October 2016. See: http://www.rusavia.com/enterprise/restoration/ut-2.html http://www.reaa.ru/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1211402254/134 It is named Yakovlev UT-2B because of differences to the original, like a more powerful Shvetsov M-11FR engine.
Some journals just reported about it (Le Fana de l’Aviation Jan. 2017, Klassiker der Luftfahrt 02/2017, etc.?) Others will follow for sure.

 

[lefty]

Hmm, thanks, gX, but I'm not sure about replicas.....

Anyway, from a non-glider man, here's another !

 

[giruXX]

That's the Arsenal SA.103 "Émouchet à pilotage couché", a sibling of the SA.104 "Émouchet" shown earlier.

 

[lefty]

That's it, gX

 

[giruXX]

Here is one I came across recently. I hope you like it.

 

[lefty]

No other takers, gX - this is the Boisavia B.603 Mercurey.

Piper clones can be a real pain, because they tend to look identical, but this one has one small identifying feature - most of the others have the lower end of the Vee struts fixed at the rear of the undercarriage struts - this one's at the front !

 

[giruXX]

Good observation Mike

It is the tug plane used for the SA 104 Escopette already shown in your picture on page http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...ad-Part-Deux?p=1061529&viewfull=1#post1061529

 

[lefty]

Here's something more elderly (like me) and unlovely (also like me).........

 

[Moses03]

Potez XA Mike?

 

[lefty]

Yes, Kevin, another Colonial machine !

 

[Moses03]

Here is another machine of the larger variety.

 

[giruXX]

Well, as far as I know, this thing didn't fly much

 

[giruXX]

Well, that’s the unlucky Lawson L-4 Midnight Airliner that crashed before is first take-off.

 

[Moses03]

A brew for gX on the L-4.

The story goes, Mr. Lawson got a little impatient and decided to have the crew take off from a short improvised dirt runway near the hanger where it was built instead of trucking it to a larger nearby airstrip. The pilot got it airborne to his credit but caught some trees on climb out. The brand new fancy loo went POOF!

 

[giruXX]

here comes the next wee challenge, see picture

 

[Baragouin]

here comes the next wee challenge, see picture

Well this reminds me of a Kinner XRK1 (or C7) except for the tail which doesn't match.....

[Moses03]

It had at least three...

 

[giruXX]

Thank you BG for your guess. I think there is no relation to the searched aircraft.
Moses03's hint is appropriate , however.
