The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Mike :salute:
the Barr Six it is!
Last I read is that the design was sold to Australia to become the Morrison Aircraft Company Model 6, but cannot find it on the net under Morrison. Do you know more?
 
Here is an interesting pair of floaters.

(Beware - the float isn't really that shape - it's partly obscured by the wingtip of the photographing aircraft !)

An extra wee dram if you can tell me who the operator is....
 
Thank you Mike, for the info in N83W (Barr Six) :applause:
I had from the net info that in November 2006 Morrison Aircraft in Australia acquired the Barr Six project and that the prototype (N83W) was shipped to Australia. From your link it seems evident that N83W was lost one year earlier (damaged beyond repair), unless the remains were shipped overseas?
 
Nobody biting at my wee floatplanes ?

The country for which they are flying is in Europe, but the aircraft are manufactured elsewhere ! (i.e. not in Europe !)
 
This is going to be one of those mysteries that we all should probably know. Just can't seem to get a fix on it. That birdie insignia looks familar though...
 
OK - Two more hints - you have to get this...

(1) These machines would be more familiar with an engine other than the Gipsy Major

(2) The swallow is actually the badge of the base - here is another floater wearing it.
 
OK, enough.

These are Fleet 10G's of the Portuguese Navy. The black swallow was the insignia of the Sao Jacinto- Aveira seaplane base.

OH please.
 
Hi Kevin :salute:
is this an airy plane or a WIG?
Could it be a FW-189 starting with speed skating lessons?
 
Thanks Kevin, :icon_lol:
this twin is not a ultralight (twin engine ultralights were/are not legal in the country of origin), but strictly speaking it was a ultralight. However, since it was not, it carried a registration. Confused?
 
Hi Kevin :salute:
First flight in November 1981, so you are close :icon29:
This is the Mohawk by Warpath Aviation Corporation. Initial tests were with two 10hp McCulloch MAC101 screamers, then re-engined with two 20hp Cuyuna 215s. But alas......
May I ask you to continue, please

PS: registration was N1381T
 
Our Moses is obviously a bit preoccupied, so I'll dive in with this one - a beer for the aircraft, chaser for the air force.......should be easy meat for you lot :mixedsmi:
