The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Mike :salute:
A positive affirmative. One of the at least 5 ACBA-7 Midour 1s built sofar. The ACBA aeroclub (Aéroclub du Bas-Armagnac (Nogaro) is very active and they also developed the Midour 2 (ACBA-8), Midour 3 (also ACBA-8) and several other light planes.

Thanks Walter - lucky find when searching !

Haven't had an aggie for a while - here's one which is based on a well-known US design, but what is it called, please ??
 
Good one, Walter. I have it as the IA 46 Model 66 Super Ranquel, but we won't argue over the odd adjective ! :icon29: (The Super has the 180hp Lycoming instead of the 150)

Over to the Low Hot Lands.....
 
Thank you Mike. Think the present temperatures are very well suited for a heated argument on the correct designation. My (old) notes say that I.A.46X-1 was an alternative designation for the ag-plane Ranquel (but supposedly with the 150hp rather than 180hp engine). However, since so much nonsense on the Ranquel is on the net, I don`t believe myself any longer :mix-smi:


Next challenge will follow shortly.
 
Hi Baragouin :salute:

Hope you like these pics (found the on the net).
Regards, Walter

Is this the National S-125? I have this photo in my archives labeled as such but I have no other info on it. Looks like a Menasco engine.

No entry at Aerofiles, yet it looks very close to the Jones S-125.

On this page the same plane is called the Jones S-125.

Good afternoon Moses:salute:
Yessir you're right.
The company that manufactured this bird had the bombastic name of "National Motor" and the Aircraft was designed S125, year was 1936. The craft was fitted with National (sic) engine 115HP and was registered in the USA as X18300.
I'm afraid that's all the information I can pass over to you.
Now please surprise all of us with a very very rare uncommon unspecified bird.....
Cheers
BG
 
Ahhh, a true Moses special - and another one without any RMP ! (Recognisable Means of Propulsion)

Those gentlemen look a tad, er, swarthy ???
 
There is a small common pusher engine back there as this particular view blocks it out. (Have not been able to unearth another photo yet).
 
This was a late 1930's design. Powered by a Continental initially, it might have had a Franklin later on.
