The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I have seen similar struts before. Unfortunately they were on a Packard Lussac 11, which is American, but it was designed by Georges Le Pere a Frenchman. Is it anything to do with him?
 
Not related to Le Pere. This one was a one-off noted for it's speed and did not go into production.
 
This one was a bit of a stinker. It's the de Marcay 2 from 1919. :france:

Moving along, any takers on this nice amphibian?
 
The de Marcay 2 is a new one to me, even knowing what to look for makes no difference, I still can't find anything about it. HavDo you have any information on it Moses?
 
Hello all - been curling today and last night - a bit weary. Today the GB Olympic squad were out on the ice beside us and to be honest I don't see much difference between their skills and mine............:costumes:

Anyway, Moses' floater is a Heinkel He57 (Baked Bean Special).
 
I don't have much at all on the de Marcay. That enclosed cabin was removeable though.

:icon29: for Lefty on the Heinkel.
 
I think AviaFrance may be right in calling the French job the de Marçay T4, although there is no pic, the description fits.

The deM 2 was a fairly conventional fighter very similar to a SPAD but with a much-shortened lower wing. Here it is
 
Hmm. Here is the original bit I had.

Edit: There is a de Marcay "T-2" listed there that sounds like it. You are right on the "2" though and the "4" was a monoplane. For the accounting Dept, this one should go down as the T-2 I think.
 
I doesn't actually give the model number there - where did you get the 2 from ?

I doubt this wee zoomer will catch anyone out but I haven't seen a pic of it for a while....
 
Last post on the de Marcay!

I found this list:

De Marcay 2
De Marcay 4
De Marcay C1
De Marcay Seaplane (1913)
De Marcay T2

The C1 and Seaplane are missing from Aviafrance. Although I found a pic of the C1 I think.
 
Saab 210:

Reduced copy of "Draken"</B> buit to test its double-delta wing. First flown on February 21, 1952.
 
Interesting: The guy is holding a model of the first version of the 210 with the intakes extending all the way to the nose; the aircraft in the background is the second version with the shorter intake ducts.

Another jet for y'all:
