The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Suds for Lefty.

Agreed, there is little information out there. I thought I came across a technical journal some time ago that explained how they launched the flying boat with little or no success but can't seem to dig it up now. It was underpowered and suffered from directional stability. Something like that.

 

[lefty]

Ah well, another one that vanished into obscurity.

Here's something smaller and speedier..

 

[cthornburg]

Bee Line BR-1 or 2 probably 1 and the picture is backwards BR-1

[cthornburg]

Just a note as I looked up the Cox-Klemin it should be the CK-1 not CK-2 which was a 2 seat open cockpit biplane. They labeled it wrong in Aerofiles at least the pix was.

[lefty]

Chris, you are right on the Bee Line -according to Larkins this is the BR-2.

As for the Cox-Klemin - sloppy of me to copy in the wrong Aerofiles designation. It is of course the CK-1.

There was apparently another Cox-Klemin amphibian (CK-18)- are there any photos of this one?

 

[cthornburg]

Something more up to date.

and a pix of the CK-18 requested.

The Airplane Factory Sling 2, OO-SON ??

 

[cthornburg]

Looked it up looks like it. I had it as Sonaca 200 OO-NEW

Chris

 

[giruXX]

I just read that Sonaca is a joint venture with The Airplane Factory from South Africa.
Now I understand that SON in OO-SON already stood for Sonaca. The repainted aircraft is here: https://image-store.slidesharecdn.com/4f290407-d406-4cf4-9672-0c63675aae21-original.jpeg


My next mystery is a red one:

 

[Moses03]

Googling "little red plane" is just not working for me...

 

[giruXX]

you should assume that this is a practical aeroplane

 

[fabulousfour]

Uli, this is the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen in Australia

 

[giruXX]

that's close enough (registration UR-PARP, i.e. an Aeroprakt A-32 from Ukraine)

Happy Birthday (by the way)

 

[fabulousfour]

Yes, I know, Uli. That's why I wrote in Australia and not from Australia

And thanks by the way.

Here is something vintage again.

Hi Robert
Could that be a Waco 10 with a radial engine?
Cheers

[fabulousfour]

I have it as an Argentinian Waco ASO, but according to aerofiles 10-W should also be correct.

So the beer goes to Carlo

By the way would you know which type engine was fitted on the argentinian Waco?

 

[fabulousfour]

The engine is not listed in my source, Carlo.
But according to aerofiles it should be a Wright J-5.

 

[lefty]

One final thought on the Waco - should this not be the 10-T (Taperwing) ? The 10-W was straight, i.e. parallel, wing like most other Wacos, and those wings are certainly not parallel !

 

[Moses03]

Carlo, your biplane has a distinctive wing. It looks like a New Standard. Maybe a NT-2?

Edit: Found your plane and listed as a D-25.
