Strange looking one should be easy.

Chris

 

[Moses03]

Beta Technologies Ava XC. Didn't readily see an engine so of course it is electric.

 

[cthornburg]

Right on Kevin over to you

Chris

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Chris.

And now for something completely different.

 

[Moses03]

Didn't think this one would last an hour!

Eight produced in this variant. From a well known European company.

 

[fabulousfour]

Then it should be the Nieuport-Delage NiD 390.

At first glance this bird looked Japanese somehow but I couldn't find anything similar in that region. Now I know why

 

[Moses03]

You got it Robert. Better have a Guinness for this one.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin.

Keeping the biplane theme. Sorry for the blurry phot.

 

[lefty]

Think that's a Svenska Aero Jaktfalken, but which one ? J-6 ?

 

[fabulousfour]

Well done, Mike!

It is a Svenska Aero Jaktfalken J-6!

And now please a corona-free new mystery from Scotland, please

 

[lefty]

Thanks again, Robert.

Here's one that should last about 5 minutes, and I am off to bed now, so if anyone in a different time zone gets it, please continue !

(Don't think it has appeared here before)

 

[Moses03]

That is the Nungesser Hydravion of 1923. I have a couple of photos of it but never seen it actually in the water.


Pressing on as Mike suggests since I am across the pond. Another one that should not be too difficult.

 

[Moses03]

Like the Nungesser, this one ended up in the water a few minutes after the photo was taken.

It sank.

 

[lefty]

The Catron & Fisk CF-10, methinks.

 

[Moses03]

Rgr that Mike. One of the ill-fated Dole Derby entrants.

 

[lefty]

Thanks Kevin. This next one will probably have several alternative designations -

 

[pomme homme]

Is that an unsubtle hint that it's French? If so, could it be one of the myriad post-WW2 reworkings of the Piper Cubs abandoned by the US forces as they pressed through the country in 1944?

 

[lefty]

Absolutely, Mike. It has a Minié engine, and there were three examples built. I bet Walter knows it !
