• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

A captured French Hanriot H.232.

Pretty sure on the Hanriot. Will keep things moving with this grainish number...
 
The source I have shows it as a -1VV

(according to -ugh- Wiki: The Soviet Air Force soon expressed interest in the design as an alternative to the Polikarpov R-Z then replacing the Polikarpov R-5 in the reconnaissance-bomber role. A single prototype was built of a KhAI-1VV (for Военный Вариант - Voennii Variant - "Military Variant"), armed with a rear-mounted machine gun, and bombs carried in internal racks. While performance was impressive, the bomb-release mechanism proved troublesome, and as development dragged on, the Air Force gradually lost interest.)

...but I wouldn't have found it without Ferry's comment
 
I have it as a KhAI 1B. This is the one off conversion Rob mentions. Looks like Ferry dialed it in first though. :guinness:
 
That, if I'm not much mistaken, is Saro Cloud K2681, test bed for the sponsons and Monospar wing for the S-R A.33.
 
I'd expect nothing less from Texas Moses...:icon29:

The Emigh Trojan Aircraft Co of Bisbee-Douglas Airport, Arizona, folded in 1950.

(OT: Douglas was where my father-in-law took his multi-engine training in WWII before moving to the Marauder)
 
Did you notice, Rob, how our Moses grained up his floater photo to look like something obscure and Balkan ??? Devious lot, these Texans.......
