• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Better swoop in before Wout here. IAR 817.

Edit: I just ran across an IAR 818. Not sure the difference? Outfitted for air ambulance work? Better go with the 818 here.

Edit2: Another site has an 817S air ambulance!
 
Thanks for the link.

Here is one that has never appeared in a mystery thread as far as I can tell-

Hardly surprising - gawd knows where you dug up this heap. It just doesn't look 'right' at all. Look at the section of those wings. And those cowlings. Never mind the bizarre undercarriage arrangements. A real weirdo - must be a homebuild from Albuquerque or somewhere equally obscure...... Don't think it's French but they would have been proud of it !
 
Good find Moses03!
Not a homebuilt, but a creation from Mexico
My vote goes to the Lascurain 4-seater of around 1939.
Two Continental A65, mixed wood/fabric construction.
 
Well done Wout. :icon29: This was a real stinker.

Actually I'm not that surprised that Wout knew this one although I had hoped to make you all sweat a little more. ;) I liked Lefty's initial reaction though. :icon_lol:

Fire away-
 
Sorry, was not my intention to spoil the fun, but for reasons unknown to me I have a weak spot for Mexican designs (remember I posted at least two).

Please try this nice big twin :icon_lol:
 
I thought the surrounds looked very Japanese - the machine far left looks like a Tachikawa Ki-74 - but this one escapes me too !
 
Moses03 is right. Its from the Far East.:ernae:
Lefty is closer and is correct with he builder, but what Ki- number???:ernae:

Year 1945. Number: 1
 
You got me, Wout - it ain't the 77, so must be a very hush-hush Tachikawa !
Not in my books anyway.

Off to a wedding today (yawn - I hate weddings) so won't be forumming for another 48 hrs or so.
 
That picture I posted is the only one I have ever seen of the Ki-92. Yours is a new one to me.

Time to turn back the clock-
