• 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.

Vodka, eh ? Russia, then, (or Finland if you're a connoisseur), Poland for the really hot stuff, dammit, they even make vodka up here now.....

Getting nowhere with this wee devil.
 
If it's between Sweden and Russia, it's Finland. Been there a couple of times and never seen this flivver buzzing around.

Maybe if I'd gone to the local Helsinki fairground........
 
Time to reveal this oversized RC plane. We have been held hostage too long!

Actually, if it's postwar, I am little surprised that Wout has not sniffed around.
 
I'm pretty sure about the flying wing so I will move things along with a little parasol (groan).

Bookmarked that Finnish site. Thanks.
 
The designer (pictured), moved on to helicopters after a couple of fixed wing designs, including this parasol number.
 
Sorry chaps haven't had time tonight - been round at our local hotel listening to this up-and-coming young guitarist.....(sorry for the lousy pic -wee camera playing up)
 
John Jorgenson plying his craft on a Squier Jaguar?


I found a poster on the parasol. Should help...
 
I hear crickets. Okay, this is the CAGA (Costruzioni Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta) AG.2 from 1927. Never could find engine specs or number built despite what the poster said.

What is this one then?

 
One built, being modified as a two place setup from single seat version one. From a tiny firm that built only three planes.
