The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
That is the one! Understand the project started as the CADAM (Composite Aircraft Design And Manufacture) Mosquito. The aircraft in both pictures I submitted is VH-OZI and on both photos the aircraft carries markings/advertising as the CADAM Mosquito. It seems that Buchanan Aircraft Corporation goty involved and that a second aircraft was then built as VH-OZE (BAC-204, Ozzie Mozzie) with a much recontoured and longer nose (Rotax 912 engine).
I still did not find details on what engine was in VH-OZI with the short nose. Anyone???
Here is the original photo of VH-OZI on the poles, in front of the Buchanan Aircraft Corporation plant, but still marked as the CADAM Mosquito. .

Your turn please!

I wonder, whether the designer of the original Mosquito had a bad day when he designed the nose of that plane...

Back to something older again, sorry for the grainy picture.

Thanks Mike!
I also looked into the Ca105 (only two of them were built I-ABCE and I-FOCO) however the pic in my possession shows a rather different wing but the large dorsal fin was a giveaway and I didn't pay attention to that detail!
I will submit shortly a new mystery….
Cheers
Carlo
 
Oh, heavens. No SPCA obscurities yet, then!

Good teamwork, it is indeed the Ca.105 :encouragement:

So a pint for Mike and half a pint for Carlo for putting Mike on the right track. :icon29:

If he likes, over to Carlo.
