The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Ahhh ! The penny has dropped. This is the EDO Malolo Model B. It was the twin-engined thing that was foxing me, then remembered something about a barely-known twin version. Nice one. (according to one of the forums it flew in 1924?)

Well done Mike, although I believe it was given the designation of EDO Gurnard.

I found this note: "Nov 1, 1928 Gurnard, first flight, F.W. Dalrymple* (pilot), B.V. Korvin-Kroukovsky (observer)", so not sure about the 1924 date.

I've sent you a PM, Kevin.

Here's an unusual chopper -

 

[giruXX]

That chopper should be the Omega SB-12 Twin (N267B c/n 156) from 1956.

 

[lefty]

That's the one, Uli. Must have been a noisy brute......

 

[giruXX]

I hope you like this and that it is new here

 

[wout]

Hi giruXX
I think this may be the Mudry CAP X (CAP XS?). One of a handful )(?) of aircraft completed.
My guess is purely based on the fuselage stripes pattern.

 

[giruXX]

Hi wout,

you are absolutely right (I took extra effort to erase the big X on the fuselage side)

An elegant design (and a true "X"-plane)

 

[wout]

This time a one-of biplane using the basic fuselage of a much built sport aircraft.

 

[wout]

A Baby Ace fuselage was used in her construction.
The aircraft was in 2016 donated to a collection in a country which alledgely offers passenger planes at "give away" prices.

 

[srgalahad]

I know it, I've seen it, but I can't find it. (too many old memory cells)
... and NO ONE gives away airplanes, but it may seem so to those trying to pedal 50yr old designs.

 

[pomme homme]

..... a country which alledgely offers passenger planes at "give away" prices.

I wonder if the collection that includes Walter's biplane is Canadian!

 

[wout]

Hi pommeghomme
You are on a very accurate track!
If it helps, the aircraft was mainly white with yellow accents and engine was the Continental A65

 

[srgalahad]

OK Walter, put me out of my misery...

 

[wout]

She is the MacGregor MG-65 (CF-RCZ c/n MG-1) by Wilmer MacGregor, completed in 1961.
Now in the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre.

OH Please

 

[pomme homme]

Well, I may have narrowed it to a country but I would never have got to an identity, Walter!

Here's something that might be described as evolutionary but which I don't think has yet had an outing here.

 

[dan_pub]

Shall I dare?

I have this as an Auster T Mk7 VF665 modded as Marshalls MA-4 boundary-layer control.

 

[fabulousfour]

That looks like the Marshall MA.4, an Auster AOP.6 converted for boundary layer research.

Edit: Too slow...

 

[pomme homme]

Dan_pub has it correctly. Yes, it is the Marshall M.A.4 - and as to that from which it evolved, curiously both dan_pub and fabfour are correct because it was based on the Auster T.7 prototype which, in turn, was a modified Auster AOP.6. So both of you gentlemen can pour yourself a half litre but dan_pub takes the baton!

P.s. does anyone know if there was a Marshall M.A.1, 2 or 3?

 

[dan_pub]

This one is a slightly more modern scene, scoring a record.
Not many points for guessing the aircraft model, but the questions are:
which airline?
what is going on?
what record did they set?
