• 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.

Mystery unveiled as the Atlas H-10 Mono Twin.

It really annoyed me because it was so familiar. I knew it was hanging there in the dark recesses. I actually put it on the list of "someday I'll post this" several eons ago, but it also has appeared here twice in varying forms before Green's offering. The first time was way back (?) in Feb. 2009 - a first posting of a challenge by someone going by the name of "wout". Powerplants have differed but the airframe is constant.

BTW, a slightly earlier post (#1200) is rather entertaining, considering where we are these days :biggrin-new:
 
Kevin, the barrack-room lawyers are at it again !

The whole philosophy behind that early guidance from our Texan maestro was that a quiz consisting of fresh-out-of-the-wrapper machines, or endless Piper clones, would be (a) boring, and (b) rather against the ethos of a forum which is, after all, called 'Historical Wings Society'. Trouble is, all of you young whippersnappers are just too damn GOOD !! Therefore to find something that hasn't been posted before is almost impossible, resulting in the 'rules' being applied very liberally !

Those of us for whom interesting aircraft were not built after 1950, (and popular music after 1980!) will just have to accept that standards, as in all of modern life, have crumbled. O tempora, o mores....

(By the way that 'newbie', wout, for whom I have the utmost respect, thinks quite differently. And why not ? He probably likes hip-hop music too......:jump: Eh, Walter ??)
 
Crikey, soon we'll be having images declared ultra vires !

You guys are funny, and Lefty has pretty much summed it up for our current state of affairs.

Thanks Green for the nod. Onward with a trimotor.

Don't think it's a Caproni, Robert. Could this be the elusive Curtis Wright C.W.5, by any chance ??

Woops! just seen Kevin's post -that blows the C.W.5 out of the water.......
 
Sorry Robert! Ack, must be the heat.

It is the Romano (without cowling and pants no less).:very_drunk: Seen it also designated the R.6.
 
No problem at all, Kevin, my grey cells aren't working properly as well sometimes. :engel016:

This one shouldn't bother you too much.
