The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

I will try to shoulder that burden like a man

Here is my next "surprise".

 

[SabreAce]

Mitsubishi 1MF1?

 

[fabulousfour]

My respect, that's the answer

Thought that this challenge would last a bit longer...

 

[SabreAce]

I got lucky - that happened to be the picture used as the basis for a drawing of the Mitsubishi that for some reason got stuck in my head.

Time for a blurry shot from elsewhere in the world...

 

[cthornburg]

Letov Sm-1

Chris

 

[SabreAce]

Letov it is.

Over to you, cthornburg.

 

[cthornburg]

Nice and easy low wing

 

[lefty]

An old favourite, Chris, the Triciclo-Experimental from the Government Workshops in Chile.

 

[cthornburg]

Yes quick and easy. I didn't have one ready at the time. Over to you.

Chris

 

[lefty]

This one is probably even easier - at least to the usual suspects......

By the way, I'm reading a novel where the baddies are flying a float-equipped Storch - did that ever happen???

 

[pomme homme]

Yes, definitely. I saw one earlier this year. It was foraging on the margins of the frayère upstream of us. When it spotted me, it flew up and away and, as it did, I could see something dangling from its leg. I assume that it must have snagged a fishing line to which the float was attached. Oh, but maybe you weren't talking about ciconia ciconia .... ?

 

[lefty]

er, no...... He's been on the cider again........

 

[giruXX]

lefty's current floater should be a


Rogozarski SIM-XII-H

 

[lefty]

Yes indeed, from what used to be Yugoslavia - I have little knowledge of the Balkans but I think Belgrade is in Serbia. For the meantime.....

The Jane's of its day called them Rogojarskis, but perhaps z's and j's are interchangeable in Serbo-Croat. I'm not sure that I really care.

Over to the Black Forrest (is that in Serbia too ?)

 

[pomme homme]

er, no...... He's been on the cider again........

No - the penultimate bottle of last years's white wine from the Noah (vitis labrusca) grapes.

 

[giruXX]

Here is another variant of the eternal summer recreational vehicle – fly-cycle theme

 

[wout]

hi giruXX
The B-4 Sky-Scooter by the other Igor (N3762C)

 

[giruXX]

Hi wout that's correct! Igor (Bensen)

Your turn again

 

[giruXX]

The Jane's of its day called them Rogojarskis, but perhaps z's and j's are interchangeable in Serbo-Croat. I'm not sure that I really care.

Over to the Black Forrest (is that in Serbia too ?)

that's a question of transcription: Serbian Cyrillic:Рогожарски СИМ-XII-Х

I am sure that one of the many Serbian forrests will be black, too (at least by night)

For those who like dark blue and yellow biplanes and donot mind a stagger
