The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Seen this photo before. Now if I can jog my memory...

Well I've slogged through about a hundred parasols and still can't find this slab-sided brute......

 

[Baragouin]

Well, gentlemen, if nothing is found till later in the afternoon I'll reveal the mystery....in the meantime you may care to look into eastern Europe....

Moses has a hoard of Transylvanian horrors in his crypt - I haven't a clue but will take a stab at an Irbitis I.5 ???

No Latvia (therefore no Irbitis) my mystery comes from an neighbouring much larger country and also has same engine( as Irbitis)....

Ahhh, then it is the Warsaw students' P.S.1

Yes Lefty or, whatever you want to call it, Prauss PS1 (also SP1)....
Your turn

Here's a nice little monoplane for fresh-air fiends -

 

[Moses03]

Tis the Scheller S.IV. Interesting that Herbert Scheller was on the design staff at Junkers from 1925 to the end of the war.

 

[lefty]

Swiftly dealt with, young sir. Scheller indeed - I have it as the S.IV.32b - what the 32b signifies will doubtless remain a mystery in itself !

 

[Moses03]

Attached is another look at the Scheller. Maybe the 32b is the fancy pants?


Onward with a braced low wing monoplane.

 

[Baragouin]

The closest I've found is a Callair product but still it is quite different from the mystery.....

Now that I come to thing about it....maybe a Rawdon?

Weird thing in Aerofiles -every time I click on a link on that site, come up with a blank page 'sbdtds.com'. Is there a bug ?? Anyone else getting this ?

Yes it happens to me, but if you close down that tab aerofiles is behind there OK - looks like sbdtds is hitching a ride.
Doesn't help me at the moment though as no idea where to look.

[lefty]

Just assuming that this machine was American - but maybe not......not getting anywhere. Maybe clue time ??

 

[Moses03]

She is from over here. Not a Callair or Rawdon though. From a small stable of interesting builds.


Another look-

 

[Moses03]

First flight 1937. The plane is still intact in a museum on the east coast.

 

[lefty]

Thanks to your clues, found it ! The Miller Zeta. And here she is in Springfield - another GeeBee connection !

 

[Moses03]

That's it.

Take it away Mike-

 

[lefty]

Something much chunkier....(and clunkier!) Whoever designed this undercarriage must have been a tad deranged.
