• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Oh dear, it is not your day so far, Kevin. This one is not French.

As for the 'beret', I think it is actually what we call here a workin' man's bunnet !
 
Okay, let's move on then. Yup, from the USA. This one is the Brown-Young BY-1 of 1936.

Here is an easier one I think-
 
Good one on the Kawanishi, Kevin :icon29: Over to you.

I'm off for my Sunday night group therapy session in the pub.

So I'll award myself one too :icon29:

In fact I'll have one of these as well :guinness:

(Have to drown our sorrows now that the Irish have sold us all down the Swanee ....woops, sorry, no politics in this forum.....)
 
Thanks-

Not sure of the state of political affairs over in the UK but I think that is why pubs were invented!

Let's see where this fancy monoplane goes...
 
This, Kevin, looks like something my dad built for me using Meccano in the 40's.

With that prop, it can't possibly have flown...... (HAS to be French !)
 
It did fly as far as I know. This is the 2nd version (with the extra tail bits).

Of course Lefty has quite possibly sniffed out the lineage...
 
Thread has gone quiet. A sure sign the mystery has remained a mystery. The snazzy job is a Farman F.1010. Experimental monoplane from 1932. It went though a few modifications along the way.

Time for a Moses special....something without a tail!
 
Went straight for my Russian book when this brute appeared, and, right enough, 'tis a Chyeranovskii BICh-14. Didn't fly much, surprise, surprise !
 
:applause: At last ! (actually I think someone else got it too, but was modest as ever....:engel016:)
Over to you, Wout. :icon29:
 
The Yak-140 indeed. I understand the aircraft may have made some "'hops'' during runway testing, but as we know "press freedom" left something to be desired in the 1950s (and not only in the country of origin). If I remember well
it was for a long period thought that Lockheed's XFV-1 Salmon never flew.

Left, please make the next one ready for t/o :icon_lol:
