The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thank you, Rob, for that fine piece of research which must have consumed a lot of your time !

Just to throw another spanner into the works, Jane's quotes the engine as being a '120hp D.H Gipsy III'. The Wright Gipsy installation on the C-7-D in the American section of the book looks entirely different, partly due to being inverted !
 
Thanks for the clarification - I think Aerofiles needs updating then as they show a photo of a Wright engined version that seems to be from your research a Menasco engine. Interesting bit about the Cirrus Hi line being a Brit engine - explains the rotation & intake position, & might have confused
Aerofiles into thinking it was a DH Gipsy!

Chris, apologies if it appears we are ignoring your latest mystery post.

Not so ! I've had a look through various sources and have come up with nothing so far - this looks like Moses' territory to me - will keep digging !
 
Pretty sure on the Nuvoli. Will press on with a veggie slicer for a change.

Hi Kevin:encouragement:
My vote goes to the Helicon by the H.B. Picken Company of Canada.
Around 1950-1953ish. A 140hp DH Gipsy Major engine and mainly built to test tilting rotor head system developed by the company.
 
A nice tourer for which I have I (sofar) never been able to find a really good photo

Hi Mike :encouragement:
The KB-11 Branko it is!:very_drunk: and thank you for the nice photo.
The aircraft on the airshow was YU-CNA
You are right on the (rear) windows. Never noticed this before. Photos of YU-CNA and CNB definitely show the smaller windows.
Found info that 4 KB-1 were built, but have seen 6 registrations YU-CMZ,CNA, CNB, CNC, CFE, CFG
What is the secret?

Your turn, sir
