• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

De Havilland argh, never made the connection! Guess the tail fooled me from that angle.

Going to do the honorable thing and go walk 10 paces off a 9 pace plank into the abyss (where I will no doubt be surrounded by a multitude of post-war single engine low wing monoplanes).:biggrin-new:
 
As an online Samaritan, who shudders at prospect of a proud and intelligent man being driven to walking the plank in these circumstances, would it help, Kevin, if I deleted my earlier post and turned the clock back a couple of hours?

Yippee! I had a feeling this one might spark off some Aerofiles trawling - looks deceptively 'colonial'.....

Anyway, Mike has the baton - we await with trepidation....:very_drunk:
 
Well, gentlemen, we can't let the grass grow under our feet. It's the Pataplume 1 because, as you'll see from the attached photograph, the Pataplume 2 is a very different beast. Over to Allemagne!

 
Sorry I could not answer. I used the nice weather to cut my apple trees.

How do you like this? No, it's not a Pataplume 0.5 (1 strut instead of 2).

Bien sûr, c'est une souricette. I love them. The last one that flew alongside me was going backward as I was going forward! God bless you M Barry!

Oh, I think that, this evening, I'm a touch more content than even I was yesterday evening. It's the auld alliance. Allez les autres Bleus!
 
According to my library this should be the München Grane (maybe a typo there?) with a Douglas engine. :bee:

Didn't find a single hint about this wee bird on the net. :dizzy:
 
That's what I have too (including the same possible typo!), apparently constructed in 1928 by Tiling und Weiβ at Fliegervereinigung e.V., München with a 500cc Douglas S1 twin cylinder engine. And not a great deal more than that seems to be known about it! Over to Germany again.
 
Thanks, Mike.
Though native speaker, I don't know the meaning of "Grane", so my guess would be that the original name of that bird was different and the transcription was faulty. I think we'll never know.

Next one is a bit bigger.

That, Robert, is the Breguet 413. Described as a fighter - must have been highly manoeuvreable !

Does anyone know what the wee aerofoil thingy is above the upper wing ?
