The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

It is Pavlov's special (tempted to say it was a bit of a dog .....:icon_lol:)

I was right about the Lucifer anyway even if you did have to lead us by the nose.....
 
Rgr on Pavlov. See it on page 332 of the Putnam Soviet Aircraft tome. They call it the A N Pavlov Monoplane of 1929.
 
:icon29: More precisely the Pavlov-Orenburgskii Osoaviakhim monoplane. Awesome job Mike, I didn't think anyone would get that. Kevin, I'm curious - is the pic you have the same as the one posted? I'm not lucky enough to have a copy of Putnams work.
 
The Putnam has the same pic, John

But here's where I found it - in Nowarra's 'Russian Civil & Military Aircraft 1884-1969'

The man himself....
 
In the Putnam book, it says Pavlov flew the Orenburgskii Osoaviakhim in June 1928 and was powered by a 60hp Siemens. It crashed July 1928. It then says he built a second monoplane powered by the Bristol Lucifer in 1929. It crashed summer 1929 killing Mr. Pavlov. I think the second effort is the mystery in question John. (According to Putnam anyways).
 
F-PPZE, Walter. At that time Jane's called it the Poulet Dalotel DM-165, but we won't argue over the odd chicken. Have a :icon29: for a nice sunny day here.

Over to you sir......
 
For this one I accept the original name, the final name, the company designation and the military designation.
.....and please let somebody tell me how many were built!
 
Aerotec A-132 Tangara (originally Uirapuru II), or YT-17 of the Força Aerea Brasileira.

Only six more produced - for the Bolivian Air Force ???
 
Hi Mike, all answers correct. This deserves a bonus.
As to the number built) you are probably also correct. Had indeed some info on 6 for the Bolivian AF, but also reports on a civil version for aeroclub use. The absence of photos may mean these were never built. except for a prototype. The search continues.
and..... the bonus is on its way (after the quarantine period please return the horse)

You have control, Sir
 
Heineken's not my normal tipple but how could I possibly refuse ? Thanks Walter.

Here's a combative lady (that's a cannon up her nose) from an earlier era...
