Haunted by mechanical problems.
It took part in the Melbourne race in 1934 but had a partial landing gear collapse in Allahabad.
After repairs it ran into a motorcar during take-off and burned.
Pander aircraft went bust on it.

Indeed it is the PH-OST, Pander S4 Postjager. An exceptional futuristic design for its time. Unfortunately it crashed early.


Note the number "6" on the tail used durng the Melbourne race.

I think oncemorealoft called it.

Open House please. Can’t find anything challenging enough
I do love how this thread makes you explore further and find out about so many ‘what might have been’ aeroplanes.

Definitely the Lambach HL-1
PH-DSA
Build by the Delft Student Aeroclub of Delft University.
Designed by old DSA member Lambach.
Initially powered by a Szekely SR-3 but later by the Popjoy.

The name Lambach lives on in the student foundation to facilitate aircraft building by the Delft aeronautical student.

Sycamore has control
