The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Lefty swoops in for the kill. Krapish...a bit unfortunate name there, despite reports that it flew well.

 

[lefty]

Here's something a bit newer and really quite a pleasing and well-balanced design, considering its provenance . Naturally, it failed.

 

[Baragouin]

That's the Krapish K-4

Excellent Lefty her pic isn't even on Aerofiles! (I would like to be your nephew to inherit your pic collection!)

What a delightful thought, BG if you were my nephew (!) it would give me an excuse to visit Tuscany......

However, the real treasure trove of pictures is in Moses' vault, a great brass-bound chest he keeps in his cellar. I believe that it will be bequeathed to the Smithsonian Museum - but he's a mere youngster, remember....

Hi Mike
Is she a member if the Deauville dynasty (SO-7050/SO-7060)?

 

[giruXX]

She is the SNCASO SO.7055 No.01, F-WEAA (but I guess wout knew that)

 

[lefty]

Yes, this one's actually the Sud-Ouest SO7055 - I hate those awful acronyms- over to gX again......

 

[giruXX]

Thank you Mike.

Here is one without acronym:

 

[lefty]

Hmm, a toughie, this one. Raab-Katzenstein 'Schwalbe' ??

 

[giruXX]

It's not the Schwalbe

 

[lefty]

In that case, how about the RK-2 Pelikan ?

 

[giruXX]

Yes, you got it :icon29

 

[lefty]

One for the pusher fans....

 

[wout]

Hi Mike
The Jarvis Jaybird and later known as the Volmer VJ-21. Now in the Wings of History Museum in California.

 

[lefty]

Or, indeed, Volmer Jensen VJ-21. Over to Holland

 

[wout]

This is no.3 in a series of at least 5 or 6 with the same name

 

[giruXX]

Could this be a Лявин Дельфин (a "Dolphin" built in the town of Kronstadt under the leadership of engineer Peter Lyavin)?

 

[wout]

Hi giruXX
The Delfin-3 it is (RA-0539G). Pretty active club there at Kronstadt!

[giruXX]

My next is a bit grainy. Hope it works nevertheless!

 

[Baragouin]

My next is a bit grainy. Hope it works nevertheless!

It should be a Soldenhoff A2....
