The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hoof. Thats an obscure one. Ford? or Detroit aircraft company or one of is subsidiary's like Eastman or Marine Aircraft? Been a few diesel A/C engines, but I can't think of any US...or any air cooled radial diesels. In fact, the only radial diesel I had ever heard of was a huge russian 56 cyl liquid cooled unit intended for use in an icebreaker.

Er, the engines were by some obscure outfit called Packard, Charlie ! A Towle TA-3 it is.

Over to Ferry :icon29:
 
Here's another nice twin:

Please move on if you are sure about the answer, because I will not be around much the next few days.

:)
 
Ferry must have gone to bed early - he surely would not have missed out on a Fokker !

It is an XO-27 converted to an XB-8 ?
 
OK, let's get more 'modern'.

I may have posted this before, but then again I posted the Rey a while back (and scored a direct hit with it at the time - we're all getting too good !)

Don't know about the douze points, Wout, all you get here is the booze points. :icon29: You got it right, of course.
 
Still cannot upload pictures. Gives me time to collect some really difficult ones.

Click to expand...

That's an American Fokker.. ;)

Went to bed early all week, and will be offline for a few days now because I'm moving to a new house tomorrow.
Hope to be back on saturday or Sunday!
 
Shows you what I know!

Good luck with your move Ferry.:running:

Lefty- Just google "windows error generator" or some such. There are a few sites that let you make custom messages like that.
 
Ferry is referring to the previous mystery, Ralf, the XB-8. I was joshing him for having missed out on a Fokker ;)

The current one is NOT a Fokker. I have given enough hints.
 
Right - on we go. Surprised nobody got the Bach T11-P.

Here's a well-known floater - with a difference.
