The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Thank you sir. This wee chap's got breeks too ! (trousers to you....)

 

[pomme homme]

Is that a Niagara I see before me?

 

[lefty]

Unmistakeably so....

 

[Baragouin]

Unmistakeably so....

Hello!
This is the Freüller-Valls MA EC-BBC...
Cheers

[lefty]

BG, your knowledge of Iberian exotica has stood you in good stead ! Over to sunny Tuscany - hope you have recovered from all those nubile bodies on the beach....have a Nastro Azzuro to cool down...

 

[zswobbie1]

The rare blue bodied Swan, with added multi-pneumatic upgrades?

 

[Baragouin]

Thanks very much Lefty for the nice pic!
Now since it is just too hot to ponder over some semi-unknown exotic item let me propose an easy one as follows.....
BG

 

[pomme homme]

Morane-Saulnier M.S.130?

 

[Baragouin]

Morane-Saulnier M.S.130?

Yes Pomme-Homme that's what it is, the MS130 indeed....your turn please and have an ice-cold refreshing beer
BG

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, BG. However I'll pop that beer in the fridge as I've just poured myself a glass of cider.

As you say, BG, it's too hot to tax the brain. So I'll follow suit and offer something that shouldn't be mentally taxing to the intellectual giants that lurk hereabouts!

 

[lefty]

That is the B.A. Cupid, methinks. 'Intellectual giants' ? I hae ma doots, laddie..........

 

[pomme homme]

You thinks correctly, sirrah. And if it wasn't for the hour of the morning, I'd take Baragouin's cold beer out of the fridge and offer it to you. But instead, I'll pass the bâton to you.

Thanks, PH - sadly, I'd probably prefer a mug of Bovril today - it's ruddy cold here. I think Scotland has separated in literal terms, and is now drifting towards the Arctic Circle.......

Here's a bunch of floaters - please name the one in the foreground.

It looks like a Latham 47 but a few things don't match

And I was going to say a Latham 45. Like BG though, not sure.

Going to give this one to Moses, BG. Quite a few differences - principally a much more complex nose section on the 47, and smooth cowlings for the Farman motors as opposed to the exposed Gnome-Rhones on the 45.

How stupid of me! I had in the same file as the Latham 47 also the Latham 45 which I simply overlooked. Anyway congratulations to Moses and for the splendid pic of the Latham 47 (mine are mostly grainy)
Cheers

Somewhere Claude Dornier is smiling. This is not a Dornier designed aeroplane though...

Hi Kevin
A bushplane with two 115hp (each) Rotaxusses. First flown March 2010 (N989LW) and named DoubleEnder. Early pics show it as an orange, but in your pics it has more suitable Piper yellow
painted parts, cause it was built from a PA-18 Super Cub.
Is it still N989LW in yellow or is there now a second one?

 

[Moses03]

Spot on Walter.

I thought this was a second prototype but not sure. Going by a youtube video, it sure seems like an able bush/tundra plane.
