The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

The engine and cockpit looks Blackburn B-2 but the rest ?

[Moses03]

Not a Brit design Chris. She is a long way from home...

 

[cthornburg]

Just guessing again mod. Arado Ar66

Chris

 

[Moses03]

Not a German effort either. This was a one-off by a designer who built two planes; one in 1910 and then this one in the early 1930's. Him and his wife wanted to fly it around the world...

 

[Moses03]

Robert, it appears you knew this one straight away. Might as well move us along.

 

[fabulousfour]

Your wish shall be fulfilled, Kevin.

It is the Day Special from Charles Day who made a trip round the world with his wife Gladys in his biplane.

I knew that plane before by chance and that exotic lady in the middle immediately rang a bell.

By the way, I hope the forum is ok, I had several fruitless attempts today to enter the forum.

 

[Moses03]

That is it Robert.

Here is the best photo of it.

We are aware that SOH has had some connectivity issues today. Hopefully things are straightened out now.

Welcome to my world. I have difficulties accessing the site every morning !

 

[fabulousfour]

Mike, same problem here. I think, in Central European Morning Time - when it is deep night overseas - there is regularly maintenance going on in the forum.

Here is my next mystery.

 

[giruXX]

Farman F.230

 

[fabulousfour]

Close enough, Uli.

I have it as Farman F.234 shown with a fully cowled Salmson engine during the Challenge International de Tourisme 1932.


By the way, does anybody have an idea about the current aviaquiz at dauntless-soft.com?
Closest I could get until now are Praga E.114, Leduc RL.19, Druine Turbi or DFS 230 but I'm in doubt that it is one of these. Couldn't find a direct match.

 

[giruXX]

no direct match means the search must go on

Meanwhile this one which I hope didn't appear here before

 

[cthornburg]

Piper PT-1

Chris

 

[giruXX]

Yes, for sure
Your turn, Uli

 

[cthornburg]

Hopefully an little known biplane circa 1916

I have it Robert. It's an Eastern Europe twin.

 

[fabulousfour]
