• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Should be an easy one. It's from Yugoslavia I had the ID but lost it over the years so I've been trying to find it again but can't.

Sorry, but not German. European though. First flown around 1986/1987.
Donot know about the car. My guess it is a homegrown product.

That's the Fedorov Baikal...my fingers are still aching having to go through the J2mc list

Hi Carlo:very_drunk:
The Baikal from USSRS it is. Design of Vladimir Egorovich Fedorov. Reportedly the engines caused problems and the test programme was cut short.
Mr. Fedorov later founded the Aviatroitel company which produced the AC- series of high performance gliders and motor gliders.
Looking forward to your next challenge Carlo !

Hi Green, I think that is the Handley Page H.P.47 although the fin flash from that angle looks like French markings.
