The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Assuming this was built by Pützer? If so turning up nothing for the shroud and v-tail jobs.

Now who had the tattered white flag last...:kilroy:
 
:ernae:
Moses03, indeed a Putzer. The SR-57 Bussard. Developed by Mr. Alfons Putzer with help from Mr. Walter Horten (yes, that one) and engineers from the Aachen Technical Highschool. The SR-57 was later acquired by Mr. Horten and in co-op with the same Highschool transformed into a more conventional aircraft.
Moses03, your turn please
 
Congratulations, lads, the 2000th post up in this thread !:applause::applause:

While Wout is cogitating, I'll slip in this easy wee twin....
 
This one should not be too difficult, especially for those who know what it is.
Two clues: It was not terribly successful and the nose housed two coupled engines.:icon_lol:
 
The SO-7010 Pégase of Sud-Ouest Aviation (SNCASO) a so-called air taxi for 5-7 persons. Two 200hp Mathis G16R engines placed in tandem using a specially developed gearbox. It was expected that one engine could be shut down in cruise to save fuel. In the design stage the aircraft was known as the Cassiopée. It first flew 27 February 1948 and only some 15 flights were made. If my info is correct the SO-7010 is in the hands of the famous Museé de l'Air of Le Bourget and will be (has been?) restored for display.

Next one somewhat lacks the streamlining of the SO-7010. :USA-flag:
 
Spotted: One ugly Dekallis Air Truck.:mixedsmi:

Interesting story on the 7010. Did not think it was French. Doh!
 
Feel pretty confident on this one, so moving along here In case I am not around in the morning.

Tailess pusher! (Sorry about the pic quality. Best I could scare up.)
 
Ta, Kevin.

Now, having sat through the demolition of our hero at Wimbledon, I have to find something 'orrible to post.

But I'm not a vindictive sort of chap, so here's a nice easy sesquiplane..
 
All these "not be too difficult" and "nice easy" planes are proving otherwise. I am assuming this one is French but no luck on that front so far.
 
Trail went cold on this side of the pond as well. Paging Ralf, Ferry, & Co, Wout, Willy, Rob, James...
