The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I was trying to edit my post to ask Jim to try another, but the site went all haywire last night ...

I think the original idea, Huub, was to exclude all the projects, mock-ups, etc - I was shot down once for innocently posting the Ayers Loadmaster !

Having used up a high percentage of available (and interesting) aircraft in these 20000+ posts, maybe we should consider a wee change. Moderators ???
 
here is a view of the PC.7 trying to pull herself out of the water

problems with the "sea screw" at her rear end prevented her from getting enough speed

Being open house and reflecting on Mike's comments, here's one which flew (applying a liberal interpretation to the verb) although the general view seems to have been that it would have been better if it hadn't. It's been mentioned here before but, as far as I can see, it hasn't yet been offered as a challenge!

 
Oh bother, Uli. You've deprived me of the chance to enquire, by way of a clue, whether this gift is five days too early! Evidently you know that this is one of the disastrous Christmas Bullets, designed, with unstayed 'flapping' wings, and built by that plausible rogue, Dr. William Christmas, that took the lives of both their pilots before they got far from the ground. Now if only he'd passed himself off as a priest, rather than a doctor, we might be talking about the handiwork of 'Father' Christmas! Over to Germany.
 
I'm not opposed to the occasional non-flyer. I have several that fit that category but have been hesitant to post. We can give it the green light and see where it goes.

That said, we need to steer clear of a bunch of 2x4s in Uncle Joe's backyard that claim to be an aircraft.:dizzy:
 
I didn't want to spoil your Christmas gift, Mike :sorrow:

My next would have been a floater:

That's exactly the case (both is true) over to Texas :icon29:

Nevertheless, the engine in the picture is unusual compared to all others.
 
SAB AB-20, I think, developed from the Dyle et Bacalan DB-70. It could be the AB-21 but the available pictures are so badly captioned that I'm unsure which is which!
