The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Well here's one that's even titchier...

 

[pomme homme]

I look at that and think Stolp. But probably my thoughts are unreliable!

 

[lefty]

In this case, Mike, yes - it's not Stolp - a one-off, this one from Blue Moon country.....

Hi Mike
To keep you busy: Something Melberg (MG-3 with Menasco engine?)

 

[lefty]

No, it's an 80hp Continental engine in there, Walter, and it's not a Melberg.

My hint was a musical one (Blue Moon) -it could just as easily be Blue Grass.......

Hi Mike
Another offering: The Wesley Special (N4057A) from Kentucky?

 

[lefty]

In the end !

 

[wout]

Thank you Mike
Next challenge is the plane, not the gun

 

[wout]

Several companies did the same. To name a few: Waco, Fouga, General Aircraft, Chase
Here is a second (equally bad quality) photo

I guess this is the Tsybin Ts-25M, the single motorized version of the transport glider Ts-25.

Hi Fabulousfour
You are an excellent guesser.
Your turn, please

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks wout, here we go.

How about this biplane?

 

[fabulousfour]

A clue for the night shift in Europe, the people across the pond still wide awake or those Down Under already got up

This is not a homebuilt but from a very well known manufacturer. And it has a rather unique feature.

 

[fabulousfour]

This plane appeared in Europe in the mid-twenties of the last century and was intended as a trainer.

Hello fabulousfour!
I've seen this bird but now can't locate her! Let me say that the upper wing has a distinctive profile recalling those of some early Focke-Wulf crafts but I suspect I'm barking the wrong tree (also because FW built comparatively few biplanes)
Cheers
Carlo (BG)!

 

[fabulousfour]

Hi Carlo.

You are coming closer but it is not a Focke Wulf.

 

[pomme homme]

..... it has a rather unique feature.

Considering how low slung is the lower wing, I wonder whether this feature might be to cut the runway grass on take-offs and landings?

 

[fabulousfour]

It should be a lot sharper for that purpose.

But you are right that the unique feature has to do with the lower wing as clearly can be seen in the following photo.
This is the same type of aircraft except for the suffix!

Considering the decoration around the nose this must have been Erich Hartmann's training plane.

 

[lefty]

Bah! - it's the Junkers T.26D !

 

[fabulousfour]

Direct hit!

Over to you, lefty
