The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

DHC2 has the timeframe correct. This is a one-off as far as I know.

Here she is with cowl rings on and possibly re-engined and given another designation.

Oh, and not from USA or Russia...
 
Not Japanese either...

This one is from a small but not obscure outfit. Will reveal tomorrow unless someone figures it out. :kilroy:
 
DHC2 was on the right track, this one is the ANF Les Mureaux 120. The cowled version might be the 121 but I have no proof of that.

Five seater airliner anyone?
 
Not a real good pic of it, but I've got one of the other end as well. (only ones I could find of the aircraft)
 
Ah, Willy, this lady has been here before (a long time ago). She is the Dumod Liner (previously the Infinité II) from the mid 60's.
 
Pretty certain I'm right with the Dumod, so I'll post another, if you don't mind, Willy, as I am out for most of the day....

This lady had a few party tricks..
 
Lefty's clean biplane is the Italian Jona J.6 (It even says so on the plane) :icon_lol:

And a :icon29: to DHC2 on the SAM-5. Thought that one would last a while!


Since Lefty will be away, pressing on with this trimotor cabin cruiser.
 
Just to confirm, Lefty nailed it. I must admit that I hoped that it's Beech 18 heritage would confuse the issue.
 
Wout, we have a wee rule in this forum that a 'mystery' not only has to have been built, but actually flown... Models, mockups, artist's impressions, CGI's etc are frightfully bad form. You said this was 'never built' ????
 
Beechcraft Model 120 and indeed never flown (for some reason the FAA does not allow mock-ups to fly, even when they are full scale)
This light twin was flown, however
