• 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.

Why are we, poor Dutch, always to blame. We gave up our colonies long time ago.:running:

The ENAIR T-35 Pillan, made in Chile and derived from Piper's PA-28R.
 
I did Mike. I herewith offer my resignation and will pick up my hobby of collecting old Ferrari`s again.

Was it politeness that nobody came up with the correct answer, or am I not the only one with a short memory. I humbly offer this new one.
 
Hi Kevin, that is the one. Would this Hilton be related to Paris? (or v.v.)

The single-engine job in the hangar is not a homebuilt. In fact, production numbers reached the figure 3. :icon_lol:
 
Two were built in the country of origin and the third one was there never completed, but finished in a country far away.
Production of 1,000 was never reached.:icon_lol:
 
The designer is well-known (I donot know whether he worked for the company as employee or as independent designer). Almost all designs of the company came from his hand. Earlier and also later designs of other companies did not carry his name either, but he did assign his own designations, but these were hardly ever used.

If you are interested, I can post the list. Please let me know
 
Aside from the landing gear this is a dead ringer for an Aeronca Chum, but the actual ID is eluding me. When it's been ID'ed I'm sure we'd all love to see the list. I never turn away free information. :)
 
Thank you, John, this one was driving me nuts - like Kevin, I recognised it, but was barking up all the wrong trees.

Would be fascinated to hear more from Walter on this one and the others by the same fellow!
 
:icon29: The Sipa S-1000 Coccinelle it is! The third one I talked about was not completed in France, but in Argentine as homebuilt project. I think it is still flying around there.

Yves Gardan (1925 - 2009) was a very active designer and he used the initials GY.
GY-10 - Sipa S-90/S-94 series, GY-20 - Bearn/Cab Minicab, GY-30 - Bearn/CAB Supercab, GY-40 - Sipa S-200 Minijet, GY-50 - Sipa S-300R, GY-60 - Sipa S-1000
Coccinelle, GY-70 - Sipa S-1100, GY-80 - Socata Horizon, GY-90 - Sita Mowgli - GY-100 - Sita Bagheera. On this list only the GY-90 was never built. It was basically a 2-seat derivative of the GY-100.
Other designs in which Yves Gardan was involved included the Sipa S-20, S-50 and S-70 and the Socata ST-10 Diplomate.

DHC2Pilot to you the honour, please
 
also the GY-110 Sher Khan. Full 4-seater derived from the GY-100 Bagheera (the GY-100 was a so called 2+2 seater with a fixed u/c) with retractable gear, stretched fuselage and full 4-seater). Helas.... the GY-110 was not built .
 
Very interesting! Thanks for that.
Alrighty, I sense that Kevin is just chomping at the bit to ID another parasol, so without further hesitation:
 
Stahlwerk Mark R-IIIb. I knew that chap standing in the back was a distant relative of Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes.
