• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Refreshed after New Year (!) I'll put Keith's pusher out of its misery. 'Tis the Shackleton-Murray SM-1.
 
I was hoping that it might slow you down a bit........

Mike, Yes thats what it is - over to you. :icon29:

Found a very comprehensive NASA report on the beast too - I might add it to my 'to do' list - unless Ted gets there first - & as for Teds new offering - pure co-incidence........

Our Moses obviously can't resist a pair of rubber floats (he should have been at our pantomime - the Ugly Sisters had lots of inflated assistance!)

Over to the Lone Star State.....:applause: :very_drunk:
 
Speaking of the Ugly Sisters (no, not the designers), but the ungainly pusher!

Here is a rare inflight photo. She was underpowered with the two Gipsy engines and unsuccessful in general. Maybe should have been just a landplane?

Tested during 1935 and 1936.

Ahhh, it was the angle of the first photo that made it look different -it's the Armella-Senemaud AS.10 Mistral

Where did you manage to dig up that particular image ???? And what's showing above the starboard wing ??
 
Right on Lefty.:very_drunk:

I got the info from our friend Mike Davis (aa) over at Flypast. He scanned them from a period magazine. Wish I was fluent in French!


Thought that was the tail of another aircraft just out of view?? Windmill blade?

Thanks - that's really interesting machine.

Apologies for this grainy horror - getting perilously close to a microlight, but I don't want to hold things up and am in need of beddybyes...
 
Yes, those slot thingies on the wing leading edge were the clincher for me.

Ord-Hume in 'British Light Aeroplanes' also delightfully describes the engine cowlings as 'the efforts of an inexperienced tin-basher's lash-up.' Says it all, really.
