The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[giruXX]

Thank you Kevin (that's cool in the heat)

my next is another oddity

 

[fabulousfour]

I think that one will last a while

 

[giruXX]

not necessarily, if I count on you

up front there is a 60hp Anzani

 

[fabulousfour]

Ok, I'll bite

That is the Hessenland (roughly translated as Hesse county) designed probably by Wieland and Ott in 1928/29.

That bird has been subject of investigation a while ago in the Flugzeugforum, however further search remained unsuccessful.

Do you have anything more about that plane, Uli?

 

[giruXX]

you got it

All I have is this photo with a few lines in Netherlands and another few lines in Lange's book.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Uli

Let's try this one, an extra beer for the circumstances of the photo.

 

[giruXX]

I guess we are looking at a movie actor.

 

[fabulousfour]

Indeed!

But which movie?

 

[huub vink]

The movie is "a bridge too far". The aircraft flew with the Dutch registration PH-BKT. The aircraft was lost after a crash in Belgium in the early 90-ties.

Cheers,
Huub

 

[fabulousfour]

You have it!
It is a T-6 disguised as a Focke Wulf Fw 190 in "A Bridge too far".

Have two pints

 

[huub vink]

Below the same aircraft (in good company) but now flying for the other side. This time disguised as P-47 Thunderbolt.

Cheers,
Huub

Just an easy one for the professionals here.............

Cheers,

Anyone who uses the BDs of Romain Hugualt as their avatar gets my vote .....

Well done Keith, I knew it was a simple one, but you are even faster than I thought.

Cheers,
Huub

Being speedy makes quite a change, Just got lucky & found her via Wiki!!!
Now to see if I can post the next easy challenge.

 

[pomme homme]

It looks like one of the aeroplanes involved in the 1918 Isle of Grain ditching trials.

 

[lefty]

It's the Westland Walrus, a much-modified DH9A, via Armstrong-Whitworth !

 

[Dev One]

Well done Lefty, I thought it was too ugly to last very long, A wee dram for ye! (Can't find the smilie...)

Thank you Keith. I started with the DH 9 and worked it out from there - with the help of this interesting contribution -

Here's another vintage piece - has been here before but quite a few years back -
