The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Kevin :salute:
Yes it is! After the restoration and fitting of the new engine.

Understand your country is trying to set new records where temperatures are concerned. I feel sorry for you and maybe this helps :guinness::icon29:
 
I was out of town in Boston for a few days and had a short reprieve from the blast furnace. Thanks for the cold ones though.


Here is a nifty little twin that I finally found a clear photo of...

Unknown on the logo but she is indeed an American girl. From the west coast somewheres...


Note: It is listed at Aerofiles (no photo), but the year is wrong. Small outfit.
 
Generous to a fault, Kevin. Your clue eventually revealed the Greenwood-Yates Bicraft. The original Oregon basket-case. Where do you find them ?????

(and I think the logo might be 'Oregon Pilots' )
 
Nice pic Mike. Aerofiles has her flying in 1935 but more research points to 1939 and spilling over into 1940.

I lifted the photo from a Oregon aircraft site. Fire away-
 
Mosscraft? If it is I dont know which one though off the top of my head at the moment.
Keith

[edit] Just done a quick google - its probably the only MA2 G-AFMS.
 
You get the beer,:icon29:, Keith, although you are not quite right.

This is the Mosscraft MA.1 in its original cabin form,G-AEST, before it was converted to a tandem open-seater.

Postwar, it became a single-seat racer, and sadly crashed in the King's Cup, killing Mr Moss. Over to you.
 
Thanks - that one (beer) is needed as temperatures high for me here & doing some much needed exterior painting (mornings only though!!!)
As for the MA1 - googling them, there is a photo taken at Pendford of them both but as you say the MA1 is an open tandem version. I think I was there at that time (air race meeting) & remember -AEST crashing at one of the pylons - apparently due to a high speed stall. A Spit also wrecked the Hendy Heck there that year too - I think!
Now try this one - its bound to be easy for you!View attachment 70658
Sorry its a bit small though!
Keith
 
Well Done - a Highland Park it is!! I found a couple of other pictures of it on the web. My father would probably have known it as it was at Brooklands where he worked.
Over to you.
Keith
 
Ever look at a new mystery plane and just don't know where to start? This is one of those. Maybe French...Russian....dunno.
 
OK fellows, it's the Cairns Model A from 1930.

Let's get it going again with a nice twin which shouldn't last long..
 
Certainly an interesting gull wing design by the looks of things, but where to start..........I've no idea at all!
