The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Not a p.o.c. for the CH-47.
The manufacturer was known for small helis. This one was intended as easy-to-fly(?) trainer
 
Actually I think you got that wrong, Wout, not West Band engines - these were more like Elastic Band engines - all 8hp of them.

Over to you, sir :icon29:
 
Illinois was in the U.S.A. last time I looked :jump:

(Things could change, though, if Barack is feeling generous on this trip.......)
 
Moses03, please start dusting of the book you referred to.
Is this one in your book? I have no clue what it is. Looks like a relative of the Scheibe SF-28 tandem-seater. :isadizzy:
 
Oh my! I was just kidding about the book. It was a funny poke at Lefty for posting the very light Corcoran. I'm mostly clueless on gliders and motor gliders.
 
:icon_lol: Serves you right ! Wout, he doesn't have that book, but he does have a zillion arcane mysteries in the Moses vaults.....

Anyway, as I'm sure you know, that very pic is in the 84/5 Jane's as an 'unidentified Chinese motor-glider.' Could it not be just a Scheibe, either purchased or stolen by some inscrutable Oriental gentleman ?
 
Moses03, Lefty!

I did realize that the book Moses03 referred to did not exist. In 1979 the only book in the PRC was the little Red Book. In addition the number of motor gliders buzzing around in China in 1979 did not warrant a book, not even in English.
What I got out of it is a nice picture of the Seagull, much better than the one I had. Thanks Moses03.:icon29:

I suggest Lefty continues as he found the SF-28 clone in JAWA.
 
Had a feeling this was from the UK. The NDN-1T "Turbo Firecracker".

Will keep the ball rolling with this unusual biplane with tricycle gear!
 
Knew I'd seen it somewhere - it's a Curtiss N2C-2 (like the Douglas, a pilotless drone -odd they should look so similar )
