A strange bird: Khioni V.N. Humpbacked Horse

Quite right GiruXX the crop duster version of the Khioni Kh5 Konek-Gorbunok "cavallo gobbo"!
Please go ahead and compliments for the speedy answer....

... according to Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft:

"Modified with tank of insecticide powder for anti-locust patrol (believed first ag-aircraft in world)"



Here is only a slightly odd number

 

[fabulousfour]

Looks like Warnemünde.

Heinkel HD 21 with a different tail?

 

[giruXX]

That's true in all aspects! Enjoy a , Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Uli!

Here we go.

Hi FF
The unique Siai-Marchetti SM-101 ?

 

[fabulousfour]

Wow, that was fast!

Over to you, wout!

 

[wout]

A nice light twin

 

[giruXX]

The Zenith Gemini CH 620 prototype, N6265N

 

[wout]

Hi giruXX
That is her. The (AFAIK) one and only. Have another picture where she is wearing red.
Go ahead, sir!

 

[giruXX]

I thought, its time for another floater but it’s not too easy to find one

 

[fabulousfour]

Slightly offtopic:
I could acquire the photo of the Ireland N-2D flying boat I had copied from ebay and which I posted some days ago.

Here is now the "full version" without markings
On the back of the photo is written " Long Island, August 1928"

Enjoy.

Over to gX's mystery again.

 

[lefty]

Ah, those were the days, ff. Never mind the neighbours' new car, let's compare seaplanes ! I wonder if they still do that in the Hamptons......

Anyway, back to business. gX's floater with its spindly pilot is the Kawanishi K-5.

 

[giruXX]

spot on lefty you're a reliable source for seaplanes

 

[lefty]

Don't know about reliable - but I just love 'em....(Kevin delights in finding new and baffling floaters for me.) One of my unforgettable experiences was getting into this machine for a half-hour over Lake Como. Believe it or not, my trusty pilot thought it would be a good idea to loop it !

 

[lefty]

So, no apologies for another floater. I did NOT fly in this one.......

 

[giruXX]

looks like one of several "first of April wonders"

 

[lefty]

Way past April 1. Two 280hp Renault pushers.

That Sir is the Ligue Aeronautique Francaise or L.A.F. Desmons torpedo bomber of 1918.
