• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I have it as the Yeoman-Hanes 250, ZK-CDI, a tandem three seater, which had its origins in the Wackett. But as ZK-CDI started life as an aggie Cropmaster, before being converted to a tourer by Ivan Hanes, it would be churlish for me to say other than - over to you, Andy!

:icon29:
 
As I have exhausted the few items that I had 'in stock' and won't have time to look for anything else before next Monday, if anyone would care to step into the breach, in the meantime, I'll be most grateful to them.
 
Because it's been so quiet in here, I'll interrupt the serenity and toss out a guess.

Temco TE-1B (T-35A), and going for the bonus, Saudi Arabia, late 1950's

Or it's something else, somewhere else...:wiggle:
 
Pretty good shot. Yes it is a Temco Buckaroo.
According to my file it is a TE-1A rather than B, but that is more than close enough.

For the bonus, you are also pretty close:
Location is not quite Saudi, but Middle East indeed.
Time period is offby about 10 years, tough.

You do get the baton with honors. Do you care to try and refine your bonus shot ?

First things first: having found your possible source, we move to - Israel, 1948-50

It's almost as bad as French aircraft, and proof Wiki is, at best, a 'second source' (I wasn't using it).
They are all over the place with their "A" and "B"s. Of note: "Both Italy and Israel bought a single TE-1B Buckaroo in 1948.", but the Israeli AF calls it a TE-1A and notes that it was powered by a Continental C-145 although the only engine Wiki lists is the Franklin. Matters not - it's a TE-1 (A/B) but there might be a story. :indecisiveness:

Onward with this crazy little number...
