The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

DHC2 goes for the jugular right out of the gate. Another Eastern European horror maybe? I'm not quite up to full speed yet after the race. That said, I have over 200 aircrafts in the queue waiting to test you all!
 
You betcha! No 'gimme's' from me. I too have some beauties lined up if this one remains unsolved. I'll try to find a better picture of this one for you gents though.
 
Hate to keep the night owls and early birds deprived. Lets press on with this twin. The wings may be off in the photo but it's a proper aeroplane.
 
The one and only SIPA S-70 designed by Mr. Yves Gardan and flown in 1949.
Registered F-WCZI and rumoured not to be too successful.

When correct, please OPEN HOUSE as I have a serious industrial dispute with the scanning part of clay tablet making machine.:isadizzy:
 
And he dives off for a weekend of hedonism leaving us with the grottiest possible picture of a low-wing two-seat open cockpit trainer.

Can't be many of those around, then..................
 
Greetings from Purdue University - well Moses, slightly earlier than 32 (not 100% sure though). Geography is very close as well. You guys spend another day digging - if you're stumped I'll post the answer tomorrow evening. I admit there isn't much that distinguishes this bird from any of 1000 others.
 
Well, I'm going to assume we're either stumped or just not interested enough in this genre. Like I said these types were a dime a dozen back in the 30's. Our mystery was the St. Hubert 135.BO

Okay, I get the feeling we need something different. This one is from a very well known manufacturer - I believe it's the only known photograph of it though. The manufacturer shouldn't be too hard to determine given the numerous identifying characteristics visible.
 
Well the differences between the various SPAD models were not huge, and this delightfully hazy pic doesn't help much ! I'll have a stab at the SPAD 5, if only because I can't find a photo of it......
 
And the torch is passed to Lefty with the Spad 5. :icon29: Perhaps it's time for me to take a break from the Hazy, Grainy, and slightly out of focus rarities. :mixedsmi: Over to you sir.

Note: Just for the record, the Spad 5 was the prototype of the production 7's, and can be distinguished by it's short individual exhaust stacks and a smaller windscreen than early production 7's.
