The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[giruXX]

some sort of a WACO ?

 

[Moses03]

Not a WACO. It first showed up in 1927. Unfortunately the company was out of business by 1929 despite an endorsement from a famed aviator.

 

[Moses03]

The airplane gained some national attention when it was spotted in West Virginia at Langin Field...

I think this is the first Moundsville Lone Eagle X570E which was shown to Antony Fokker.

Quite different in its appearance to the Lone Eagle at aerofiles...

 

[Moses03]

You got it Robert!

Wish I knew what engine was installed.

 

[lefty]

Looks like a Cirrus Hi-Drive ??

 

[fabulousfour]

On with another biplane.

 

[Moses03]

Schauss-Lampman Sport of 1935. There was a plan to put a few into production but the financial backer passed away and the deal stalled out.

Looks like a Cirrus Hi-Drive ??

Could be Mike.

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Schauss-Lampman Sport.
Found the photo in an advertise in an old issue of "Popular Aviation".

Over to you, Kevin.

 

[Moses03]

Nice find Robert.

Here is a derelict in the weeds.

 

[lefty]

That is surely a Savoia S-56. What a shame to see her so neglected..

 

[Dev One]

You got it Robert!

Wish I knew what engine was installed.

? Menasco ? or Mikron? I think cirrus was opposite rotation.

[Moses03]

Spot on Mike.

The S.56 was rescued and nicely restored.

Thanks Kevin -was intrigued to find out who bought the Savoia in the auction - it appears the dreaded Kermit now has his hands on her !

Here's a monoplane -

 

[lefty]

Surprised this is still around, although maybe some of you, like me, have been unable to get into the site !

This European number had a Siemens motor, and a close relative which was a low-winger...

 

[lefty]

Right - long enough. This is a Dietrich DP VIIa

OH please.

 

[lefty]

Where has everyone gone ??

 

[Moses03]

Hi Mike, I'm in and out but didn't want to ping pong the mystery. Figured it was German by the tail and general layout but didn't actively look for it.

I can post something later if no one shows up.

Maybe some folks are on vacation.

 

[lefty]

Hmmmm - vacationing is frowned upon in these parts nowadays !

 

[pomme homme]

What? You'll have no Madeira, m'dear, this year, I fear!
