The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Uli,
thanks, I hadn't really expected this, the engine seems quite a bit different to the pictures I found.
Since I'm off my prepared mysteries until tomorrow I'd like to declare Open House, unless you can wait until then.
 
Nothing more to add, Swedish Osprey is correct :icon29:

Maybe it's just the reflection of the sun that blurs the camo, in the other picture of the Swedish Osprey in the book from which I took the scan the camo is clearly visible.

Over to you, lefty :encouragement:
 
Thanks FF. Back in business with posts again, so here's something else in an aquatic vein.....

Yep over to you - :very_drunk: -found that on a site which had these photos -obviously from a German tome - any idea what this book is, gX ? The print and format are very reminiscent of Nowarra's Deutsche Luftrüstung... ?

The source of that picture is J.A. Kranzhoff: Arado-Flugezuge. Vom Doppeldecker zum Strahlflugzeug. Die deutsche Luftfahrt Vol. 31
 
Thanks gX.

@ Mike: I like reading stories of survivors that resurface in a barn or something after a long time.


Here is something wacky and wonderful I happened upon not too long ago.

I'm sure Walter will be up early with the answer, so here are some clues to help.

Late 1970's effort that nosed over on it's maiden flight and crashed. The designer took the center section and rebuilt it into a twin boom pusher that was also unsuccessful. The pilot/designer was known for his WWII aircraft restorations. From ---> :canada:
 
Still trying to work out which is the front - thought the coated person was standing at the nose of a canard pusher - but then why are the winglets the wrong way round ?

If nothing else, it would appear to be only a moderately successful snowplough.....
 
Hi Kevin:encouragement:
Donot know how to call this one-of. I think the guilty person was Bob Diemert of Carman, Manitoba.
Unless I am mistaken (what often happens) this is CF-XWO. Although that could be another product of the Diemert stable.
 
It is the Diemert canard! :icon29: With the 90F+ temps we are locked in at for several months now, I wish we had snow like in the photo!

Rgr on the documentary Mike. Watched it recently.
