The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I've been waiting for the next post - didn't think this submission was still active........

I didn't bother looking up the reg, but this would be a Beech 33 with what I think is the Rocket Engineering conversion to the PT-6A. If it were the Soloy/Tradewind conversion using the Allison 250 it would have the exhaust ported out through the bottom of the cowling.

It's active. Lefty excused himself from it after checking the reg. I removed the reg from the photo without looking at it but needed a hint from Wout to get started.
 
Kevin, thanks for editing the photo! Can just hope there is a small piece of my reputation (the good part) left. After I discovered the blunder myself, was thinking of going on a round-the-world trip in my rowing boat, but you saved me a lot of blisters.

DHC2Pilot, it is not the Rocket Engineering conversion and not the Soloy/Tradewind one.
It is the Hall WH-4 Harpoon, a single engine conversion of either the Beech Travel Air or the Baron twin.
At least 6 such aircraft were completed and depending on the baseline airframe, had a swept or a straight tail.

May I suggest OPEN HOUSE please
 
The above "photo" is of the first version - you may be more likely (or not) to find an example with the later revised tail.....
 
In the interest of fairness - don't force yourself to be fooled into thinking this one is from Russia because of the characteristic Russian style "photo". 'Nuff said for now. :)
 
Er, it's gone a bit quiet round here. John, your old bipe is not exactly bristling with distinguishing features and I don't even know where to start, other than it looks vaguely Italian. Why, I don't know.

Think maybe a wee hint is going to be needed - I know this ain't Wout's territory and Moses gets a Texan rash if you post too many biplanes........(unless they're twin-boom pushers :mixedsmi: )
 
American, circa 1917......
Sorry for the generic-ness of this one. Seems I take my submissions to extremes - extremely too easy or next to impossible. If you guys want to white flag it I'll post another one.
 
Well I did say it was Italian,and Burnelli just has to be an Italian name ??????

I have to retire to bed now - it's late here and I've had a long day in the SUN (honest) , so if any of you have another one to slot in please feel free.
 
Moses slipped over the Rio Grande to find that one - it's the TTS-5 from the National Aircraft Factory in Tequilaland.


Here's another twin..
 
The sleek beauty is the Caproni-Reggiane Ca.405 of 1937. Built to compete in the Istres-Damascus-Paris Air Race but was not completed in time to enter.

Up next, a shiny single-
