The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[cthornburg]

Robert If you come up with one before I do I'm busy this week. Go for it. I did the easy part you did the hard part find out which one. Since I'm not into civilian aircraft except to fly them.

Thanks, Chris!

Let's go on with an aircraft with obviously heavenly assistance.

Shouldn't last too long with all you experts here.

 

[pomme homme]

OK, which one is the Singing Nun? If it weren't for the lack of another three engines, I'd guess that it might be a Consolidated Dominiquerator!

 

[wout]

I would go for the Hispano HA-100E-1 Triana with the Beta engine

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Hispano Triana.

Over to you, Walter.

 

[cthornburg]

I'm still trying to figure out which one is Sally Fields the flying nun.

Chris

Hi Chris, You can stop looking. Sally took the picture

 

[wout]

How doe we call this one? A flying wing, a canard wing or a twin tail boom type.
To help a bit: she first flew as flying wing with canard foreplanes. The twin tailboom was added later.

Looks as if he got his C of G too far aft......

As you know, Walter, anything white is normally out of my comfort zone !

But after a bit of digging have come up with something. The EM-12 designed by Edward Margaski ?

 

[wout]

Hi Mike
That is her. The Malgosia II by Edward Marganski from Poland. I just learned from you that this one is designated EM-12. I did not know!

 

[lefty]

This was the technical article I unearthed...

[lefty]

Here's something older and fuzzier..

 

[pomme homme]

That, unless I am much mistaken, is the München Grane of 1928.

 

[lefty]

Indeed it is, Mike.

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Mike.

Here's one that shouldn't be too hard so long as you note the feature that doesn't seem to have been widely recorded photographically.

 

[lefty]

I take it, Mike, you mean the front end ??

Apparently one MH.52 was powered by a Mathis 7-cyl radial with three-blade prop ?

 

[pomme homme]

Exactly. I know of only three photos of the MH.52 with the singularly unsuccessful Mathis radial upfront. But enough of this gallic intrigue. Let's go over to Ecosse for the next mystery.

 

[lefty]

Which, obviously, did not originate in Ecosse!

 

[lefty]

I thought this would have been away long before now. The headgear of the chaps on the right should surely indicate which country is involved ?
