Name that Flying Machine

I have found 2 pictures partly submerged.
I think not completely the right attitude.

How things have changed! These days he'd be all over the media claiming he had the backing of major"investors", was going to build at 100 a month at (insert name of gullible local government) and it would be fully certified in 12 months

The Flying Submarine kept me busy for hours, this I hope is easier

[Noyade]

Very clever cropping Zaxis!

[Zaxis]

Very clever hiding the answer in a hyperlink!
Do you want control??

[Noyade]

No thanks mate. Take another turn of make it open house. Cheers!

[Zaxis]

Yes, it was the Sud-Ouest SO.1310 Farfadet :



I'll throw another challenge...

[meleagertoo]

I didn't know they used that airframe for so much experimentation. There was even one with a vee tail.

[ea200]

I think it's an Airacobra based research aircraft. Probably the Bell l-39. I couldn't find a v-tailed version though.

Matthew 7:7

[Zaxis]

I guess ea200 has it and control.

[Asturias56]

Matthew 7.7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

[ea200]

Thanks. Only one of these made, but it did fly.

[meleagertoo]

Wow this thread is fun!

My first thought was the Ikarus Orkan, but I continued to knock on airwar.ru and now possibly the Nuri Demirag NuD-38? They list it under WWII military transport.

[ea200]

Now 24 hours is up, I can confirm that Noyade is correct with the Nuri Demirag Nu D-38. The first Turkish passenger carrying aircraft built in the early 1940's. Four passengers. Effectively killed off by WW2, not least because it used Siemens engines.

Noyade has control.

[Noyade]

Thanks.
Open House.

Came across a pic of a mildly crashed Italian cabin biplane (?) in a 35 year old copy of Pilot the other day. Editorial staff (probably the late Mike Jerram) didn't know what it was and neither do I. When I get an opportunity and am at home long enough, I'll snap it and stick it on here, see if anyone has a clue.
