• 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.

The SPAD 5 prototype originally had a large spinner a la Fw190, which ain't on this one, but I think they binned it. As for the windscreen, er, I canna see one at a' !!:jump:
Here's a wee floater, or more correctly a wheelie-floater (amphibian to you lot)

(doubtless Moses will claim I've posted it before, but now he can't prove it !)

I'm off curling in Aberdeen all day, so keep it flowing, chaps !
 
Well, since it IS open board...... hehehe.
I'll bless you all with another nice black & white photo, this time IN FOCUS, with MINIMAL GRAIN and good contrast. (somewhat out of character for me lately)
This time a sesquiplane with what appears to be a couple dozen squadron insignias painted on the side.
 
If it has been posted then we'll try something else. You guys have been at this forum far longer than I, ang I don't want to be the one to repeat entries.
 
Caramba ! The Tequila Special got whipped away from under our noses - well I've managed to ID its neebor, as we call them here. It's the Packard-Le Pere LUSAC-11.
 
I'm thinking this wee wheely-floater has been posted before, but can't find it in this thread, so we'll give it another airing.
Moses will doubtless do the honourable thing......
 
If it has been posted I don't remember it. Looks like someone slapped a pair of wings on the conning tower of a sub. I'd be willing to bet a drunk Frenchman thought this would be a good idea. :)

There is some debate about where it actually comes from, but no Frenchman was involved !

Hi all, I don´t know if I´m welcomed here since I´m not an english speaking guy, and with an awful english writing indeed, but from some time ago I use to visit this place, and this is the first time I know the little airplane; not french but german, or is it jugoslav-serbian??: the little Fizir 85 hp
 
Emilio, welcome to the forum ! How good to see a Spanish presence here - and your English is just fine.

You are of course right with the Fizir A.F.2 amphibian - commonly listed as German, but as far as I know Mr Fizir had this made by ZMAJ in Zemun, currently in Serbia but Yugoslavia in those days.

Over to you, sir. I'm sure you can find something obscure from a Spanish manufacturer !
