The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

No sir.

 

[Moses03]

Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary? This one seems familiar but can't place it.


Edit: Will be scarce in these parts until after the 25th, so a Merry Christmas to all.

 

[lefty]

OK folks, it's the Pintsch Schwalbe, (sounds like a bottle of beer) designed in for AEKKEA (sounds like a well-known furniture retailer) by one Antonius Raab, who was of course , but built under licence in by Pintsch.

OH please, for someone not too weighed down by festive goodies to post something jolly - may I echo Moses' sentiments with best wishes to you all.....:isadizzy:


By the way, if you chaps over there have gobbled up all the turkey by Thanksgiving, what are you having for Christmas ? A small ox ?

 

[Moses03]

Here is something jolly (okay, I made that up).

For the record, my brother cooked up a slab of roast beef for the family Christmas dinner.

I'm very very ignorant about US jets.
But could that be a Curtiss XP87?
Baragouin

 

[Moses03]

Yep, the XP-87. Last aircraft ever from Curtiss.

Have at it BG.

 

[Baragouin]

Anybody wants to try this bird?
Baragouin

 

[Hurricane91]

Hello Baragouin,
A Nakajima A3N1 Navy Type 90?

 

[Baragouin]

Hello Baragouin,
A Nakajima A3N1 Navy Type 90?

No Sir, sorry. It's half-european......
Baragouin

 

[lefty]

'Tis the MMV-1 (Selahattin-1)

 

[Baragouin]

Yes Lefty it is the Milli Müdafaa Vekaleti MMV1 of 1932. only one built. It seems it flew only once in 1935!
Your turn of course
Baragouin

 

[lefty]

Sorry for the delay - here's a rare version of a machine from a biggish manufacturer. A bit grainy, I'm afraid.

 

[Baragouin]

Doesn't look european...any clues?
Baragouin

 

[Moses03]

Fairchild maybe? Dunno. Are those meatballs under the wings or a trap?

 

[lefty]

It is a Fairchild. The meatballs are distinctive roundels that have been filled in....

 

[Baragouin]

An amended Fairchild (X)R2K-1 maybe?
Baragouin

 

[lefty]

No, this one of three Fairchild 22-C7F supplied to Colombia in 1934.

Here's another machine far from home...

 

[Moses03]

Blast! I just saw this one somewheres...

 

[Baragouin]

This is a SIAI S-52 of 1923 powered by a Hispano-Suiza HS42. Only two built.
Baragouin

PS Also known as Savoia-Marchetti SIAI S52

Concerning #7772 that's what AeroFiles state:
22C-7F 1933 (ATC 517) = 145hp Warner Super Scarab; span: 32'10" length: 22'0" load: 617# v: 138/118/48 range: 400+. $3,480; POP: 9 [NC9379, NC9383, NC13284], 1 to USN/NACA as XR2K-1 [9998] and 5 unregistered exports to Mexico.

 

[lefty]
