The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

OK, I started to type this 6 hours ago and then company banged on the door and POOF!

Kevin, I doubt you need more liquid down there but here you go ...

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-

Maybe a "L.F.G." item?
Cheers

Hi Carlo, not from the L.F.G. stable.


Rob- North Texas has escaped the watery madness so far. We hope the southlanders are hanging in there!

Hi Kevin
I sincerely hope your part of your huge state will be spared by the flooding madness.....here autumn is looming but temperatures are still 34/35° and fires are ravaging our beautiful forests....
Cheers
Carlo

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Carlo.

Going back to the float plane, it has a Rolls-Royce engine...

 

[Moses03]

Figured the floater would last about an hour!

This Navy bomber was flown in 1934. The company designed nearly a dozen aircraft over a span of 14 years or so.

Aah the "Ting/Ding" bombing and torpedo plane "Hai Ying" from Shanghai

 

[Moses03]

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding. Correct on the Naval Air Establishment "Ding". Over to the Black Forest.

In case you needed a boat:

(I hope it's new here)

 

[giruXX]

I just learned that this racy “flying boat” was built twice but neither of the two made it into the air, both sank during evaluation. It comes from a beautiful country mostly surrounded by sea.

 

[Baragouin]

Maybe a less known SIAI racer of the middle twenties?
Cheers

[giruXX]

you are pretty close, Carlo
bot no relation to SIAI AFAIK!

Methinks this is the CANT CNT II from 1924

 

[giruXX]

You are right Robert

Cantieri Navali Triestini - CNT Aircraft Designations
CNT II - 1924 biplane flying boat racer,* aka CNT 2, x 2
- CNT II: 1 x 465 hp (type) V-12 mounted above top wing
-- Designed by Alessandro Guidoni for 1925 Schneider Cup
-- Orig. desig. D.G.A.3, both prototype racers sank

Thanks, Uli

Staying in about the same time period.

[fabulousfour]

Indeed, the Martin it is! Enjoy a pint of dark ale

Should be an easy Heli with wings

Hi Chris
Is that the Bell Model 533 (modified 4th YHU-1B/YH-40A) used for nigh speed and rotor tests?

 

[cthornburg]

No not done by Bell.
