Onward and upward.

The Kimball Model K Beetle from 1929

 

[Moses03]

Had a feeling you would have it as we seem to have a lot of the same source material.

 

[giruXX]

you are right

Enjoy a wee Sunday flyvver

I think that it may be just a question of which motorised conversion of the Slingsby T.31 Cadet (or maybe the T.29 Tutor - it's so difficult to distinguish them when converted for powered flight) it is.

 

[giruXX]

It's a Slingsby T.29 Motor Tutor

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Uli. Which Motor Tutor is it - as I failed to find a photograph of one with that colour scheme? In the meantime, here's something that's only a step up from a 'flivver'. A flivver à deux?

 

[giruXX]

this one: PH-1121 https://www.zweefhist.nl/index.php/vhz-vloot?id=131

Don't know about the homebuild - but what's in the hangar ???

 

[pomme homme]

Uli - thank you. Mike - don't know.

Don't know about the homebuild - but what's in the hangar ???

Looks like a King Air or Twin Bonanza nose gear. Hard to see the engines to be sure which.

 

[pomme homme]

It's French and relatively modern.

 

[giruXX]

did everybody have his chance?

It is a Guerpond Autoplum

 

[pomme homme]

I have it as the Guerpont Autoplum - but that's mere semantics. Over to you, Uli.

 

[giruXX]

sorry, my fault

For the next let’s stay with colors

Hi giruXX
I think this is the first Miller TM-5 (USA, Terry Miller) photographed after it had seen better days.

 

[giruXX]

Hallo Walter,

you think right, of course. Enjoy

Next challenge a small helicopter.
Has an interesting background/history.

 

[wout]

The designer was a pioneer on pulse jet (pressure jet) engines and she was built by/for a big company .
The year 1950. I understand she was never given a Model/type number.

Probably the Sikorsky Flying Experimental Test Stand designed by Eugene Gluhareff.

Must have been a real hazard for the pilots hairstyle.
