The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

Not from France, Mike, but it is European.
About a dozen of the type were built as a trainer.

 

[fabulousfour]

The company is probably best known for a two-seat trainer which held several speed records before and after the war.
One of these aircraft was the basis for an experimental jet built after the war.

Ambrosini SAI.10?

 

[lefty]

Well Robert, you had to drag that one out of us ! It is the Ambrosini SAI 10 Grifone.

(edit - Pipped to the post!)

 

[fabulousfour]

Mike and Mike are correct, it is the Ambrosini SAI.10.
Mike from France was an instant faster, so I pass the baton over to him.

Santé

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Robert.

My two word reply seemingly allowed me to win by a short head, Mike!

Heads, tails - that below hasn't got the latter!

 

[lefty]

Ahh, I think we should leave this to Kevin, Mike - it is very much his territory ! (any idea what became of it ?)

 

[pomme homme]

(any idea what became of it ?)

None at all.

 

[Moses03]

Glad to oblige, the SNCASE SE.2100.

 

[pomme homme]

Over to Texas. There's no more to be said!

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Mike.

Up next-

 

[lefty]

Hard to pin this one down, Kevin, but would the single star be a reference to your home state, by any chance ?

 

[pomme homme]

It reminds me of a Nieuport, possibly the 28 ...... unless, of course, this is a curve ball and it's a Garland-Lincoln LF-1!

 

[Moses03]

Bit of a curve ball. It is a Nieuport 28 sitting in front of the Rogers Aircraft building in Los Angeles. They imported a couple over for company use.

Back to pomme homme!

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Kevin. Evidently I was thinking too laterally with the Garland-Lincoln LF-1!

Here's one that we've had before, way back, but not in this form.

 

[giruXX]

Apparently the Albert TE-1 "cabine"

 

[pomme homme]

Exactly, Uli - although to please Mike, Pascal Brugier also has it as the Albert A.100 and A.120 F-AJFV!

 

[giruXX]

I could add Albert R.100


On with something from Wout's terrain (he mentioned it in one of his replies, but I couldn't find it in this thread)

 

[lefty]

Think that's the Sorrell/Thunderbird Hyperbipe, Uli ?

 

[giruXX]

According to it's characteristic shapes you must be right, Mike
