The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

If you donot like the colours, she also comes in mostly white (not the same aircraft).
I always wondered what happened to the designer`s plan A and B :jump:

Hi fabulousfour :encouragement:
Sorry, no connection. The challenge is a couple of years younger and unlike the Westfall, not an entirely new design.
Hope this helps.
 
The only picture of it that I can find on the web has no caption and conveniently has a tent obscuring its registration mark! If that influenced your choice, then well done, Walter.

The staggered biplane is the Miller Bipe C by Russell A. Miller and his Miller Flying Services.
Start with a Piper PA-22 Tripacer, get rid of the nosewheel, shorten the wings to 26ft, add Taylorcraft wings and a large dorsal fin fairing et voilà, the Bipe C.
It seems that Russell sold the recipe and the blue/yellow one is N446GW and the white one is the original (N64RM born 1976) which initially had PA-22 style legs.

Unleash your phantasies, it is OH time :biggrin-new:
 
Thanks Kevin. I hope Harvey steers well clear of your part of the state!

Here's a nice twin for a change...

OK, so where is everybody ? This one should not have lasted 24 minutes, never mind 24 hours!

I know Kevin is off chasing dusky maidens in Polynesia in a squadron of old bangers (see his Flight 19 thread in Round-the-World), but the usual suspects are either suffering from heatstroke, inertia or whatever.

Walter, I know you could tell me everything about this one !
 
Ok then, Mike.
This is a nice picture of a Koolhoven FK.50 in Swiss colours and converted to a twin tail.

Since I am trying to solve only every couple of days, I was hoping for someone else to give the answer. :wavey:
 
Thanks, ff, we have to keep it moving ! :icon29: (hope you need a cool beer in your part of the world - here, it's more like hot soup required !)
 
Thanks, Mike, a cool beer is always welcome! :ernaehrung004:

Temperatures here are in the low twenties the last days, so quite suitable for most of us, though a bit fresh for a breakfast outside. :wavey:

Here I'd like to know a bit more than just the type, that might be quite easy.

Please tell me why the plane is looking as it looks in the picture and which purpose it served.

Now, this is a well known aircraft originally from behind the Iron Curtain but now has a US-Registration.
It has been modified a bit optically to resemble an even better known WW2-fighter from certain perspectives, but the plane had a second task that might be obvious from the photo.
 
Well, it looks as if Lefty knows the answer but is lurking, so..

the aircraft is a Yak-52TW (but there are many variations on a theme)
the rest of the lash-up was to make it vaguely resemble a Spit during filming of "Dunkirk" with that great hulking Imax camera in the front cockpit.
 
Rob might be out of pocket today so I will press on. Feel pretty good with the ID on the upturned biplane.


Onward and upward with a floater-
