• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    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 politicion 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 amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

That, I believe, is the ill fated Wren Goldcrest (G-AICX) - scrapped in 1947 because of the intransigence of the post-war British administration in allowing small manufacturers access to approved aircraft building materials.
 
Hi pomme homme:encouragement:
This elegant single-seater is the EB-3 (or is it ED-3?) by Émile Bogaert from Belgium. However, registered as F-WCDM.
Would you know when she was completed (1946 or 1950)? All I know she had a 20hp Aubier-Dunne engine.
 
I have it as the Bogaert EB.3 (presumably for the constructor's initials) dating from 1950. And that's all that I have on this little aeroplane. Anyhow, well done and over to you, Walter.
 
An all-metal biplane from before we invented the official ultralight category. She owes her name to the rotary engine installed.

Hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
The Wankel X by Stanley Corcoran and Stanley Tonkin. Tested with several small rotary engines including a Sachs and a Kawasaki.
Your turn, please
 
Interesting. Couldn't find any evidence about the designation "Wankel X" but only the names of the designers.

Here is another biplane.

Only a small number of these aircraft were built, two of which crashed shortly after introduction.
The remaining aircraft were converted to floaters and survived until 1939 but were destroyed in an early stage of WW2.
 
Bimoteur anyone?
