• 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.

This one was from Hubert Latham of Antoinette fame. The Antoinette Military Monoplane or Antoinette Monobloc of 1911.

Here is one you might like- a floater!
 
Never let a floater go by..........

This little lady is a Commonwealth Trimmer, which sounds as though she ought to be Australian, but in fact came all the way from Long Island N.Y.
 
OK, another East European Horror sails away unmolested - this is the ICAR Turing, built in Rumania in 1937.

Back to matters aquatic - an easy one - ?
 
Hmm...I have that same one labeled MBR-5. Another designation maybe?

Edit: Found the same pic at this Russian site.
 
Your Russian site tells more or less the same story - I have it as the Samsonov MBR-5 ! (Gunston's Encyclopaedia)

Just being pedantic - it's my age you know - over to you sir. :icon29:

(Been at a funeral today - great fun - MUCH better than weddings ! :ernae:)
 
Thanks. Well now that we have that settled, how about something not so old?

Another one I would like to see modeled for FS.
 
Right on Naki. :icon29:

The Strato set the world altitude record for manned piston engined aircraft at 60,897' in 1995.
 
I hope I will not disappoint you.
I call it the Falcomposite LNB27RG Furio RG prototype (ZK-LLG) of New Zealand.
The beautiful lines (and name) should disclose that the designers are (likely) from Italian descent (L & G Nustrini and L. Ancelotti). I think it is a very nice look-a-like of the Falco FL-8, but this time made of composite materials.
 
Wow that was the a complete and correct answer wout..yes the designers are of Italian decent and are the current importers of the Tecnam microlights for NZ and Australia and they aslo own an original Falco.
