The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Screen grab from a short clip featuring trials of a new large flying boat...

I do believe that is one of ours, sir. :unitedkingdom:

Designer chappie did a rather natty little fighter too, eh ? It's the Supermarine Southampton, methinks.
 
Of course it is, Robert ! Over to you - :icon29:

Always amused by those exhaust stacks - in my motor-enthusiast days, it was always stressed how important is was for engine efficiency to 'tune' the exhaust system. Doesn't seem to apply to aircraft - just stick 'em out the top !
 
Thanks, Mike.
Here is a floater similar to the last mystery but definitely not a Junkers. :untroubled:

At least it seems to have some sort of "tuned" exhaust...

It is the Caspar S.1!:encouragement:

The last design of Ernst Heinkel as an employee before establishing his own company where he manufactured the same aircraft as Heinkel HE 1.

This is the sole Caspar S.1 which found its way to Norway after a competition in Gothenburg/Sweden.

Over to you, Mike! :icon29:
 
Thanks Robert - been tough to get back in this morning.

This one has been here before but quite a long time ago, I think......

It is, Mike. Apparently it looked rather better than it flew.

Over to to France. (What is the French for 'lockdown' ? I bet it's 'Le Lockdown' ?) :icon29:

..... then you'd lose your bet, Mike. It's le confinement - a word subsequently borrowed by the English language, before it decided to source most of its new words from the USA!

Here's a biplane that's attracting a fair amount of attention - but, sadly, attention was about all it attracted!

 
Well the M.Hulot character with blazer and bicycle clips just has to be French - the chap behind with the beret would tend to confirm that -so I reckon we have a Gallic obscurity here ?
 
So I can delete that biplane now from my list, I had this one as a prepared mystery too. :untroubled:

I will hold back on this one since I will be on vacation from Saturday on and I don't like to declare Open House. :bee:

Good luck to the rest of you with Mikes' mystery. :encouragement:
