I will give it to you Bri. The aircraft is actually an Les Mureaux 115 with a non-standard engine.


You have control

Thank you. The ANF 131 was a one-off powered by a Renault engine.

Here is the next mystery aircraft:

I'm making a bold assumption that the front is to the left because the guy in the picture taking a photograph would probably want the "pretty" end.

Single or twin?

Yes, the left side is the front. Sorry, not a DC-3, but closely related.

Sorry HQ, does look like it but it's not a Hustler

Not too sure whether it's a mock up or the real thing, but I do know that this particular aircraft never flew!

Hello HQ,

Myasishchev M50
No, we have had that before and the M-50 appeared in a famous flypast over Moscow in 1961, note that I did say above that this particular aircraft never flew, keep digging

You have it AfgAirOps; it is the Myasishchev M-52 Well done

What was intended to be the production Bounder, fitted with the engines it was designed for, the Zubets 16-17 turbojets replacing the original Dobrynin units of the M-50 "proof of concept" prototype, whose lack of power rather limited its preformance. One M-52 was completed but was never tested in the air before the program was terminated due to the development of the ICBMs and the priority assigned to the Soviet space program..

AfgAirOps has control, please post a new challenge or declare an Open House
