Name that Flying Machine

[fauteuil volant]

The French prototypical registration is something of a red herring. Whilst it indicates where it ended up, it deceives as to its origin - where it wasn't fitted with a 90hp Cirrus engine and didn't have a second seat.

I guess that would make it the Mulot AM.220 Sport?

Which would be a correct guess. I do try to oblige with something reasonably local to the regulars! Over to Holland.

Thank you fauteuil volant. Let's try this one. Should be easy enough.

Open house again.

[teusje]

That's the one, Jelle has declared Open House.

[Jhieminga]

Allright, I'll upload an easy one then...

[old,not bold]

Vought V-326? Pressurised Corsair testbed with turbo-charger.

OH if right...I'm away sailing for a week.

[Jhieminga]

As I said, an easy one...

Vought 326, seen here with the R-4360 engine.

Amazing small diameter engine for some 4000 hp!

Check the 2 pictures again. They have a completely different engine cowling. The second picture is probably a very early version with a smaller engine.

One may be the V-326 and the other the V-326A.

Is someone going to post the next challenge?

It was originally built to test the R-4360 but flew with different engines at a later stage.

Here's the next challenge.

It is Theo Slot's delightful little one man flying boat, the De Schelde Scheldemeeuw.

Addendum: I thought we'd had the Scheldemeuuw recently and when I checked we did, back in March (q.v. post #1107)

[teusje]

I should have checked but didn't. You got it fauteuil volant, over to you.

Thank you, teusje. As I shall be occupied today, it's best I declare open house. If that invitation has not been taken up by this evening, I'll try to find a next challenge then.

@ Archer, the size of the propeller suggests an large horsepower, therefore the small diameter is striking in my view. The other version with the large diameter engine is of course totally different, I agree.

The R4360 has four rows of seven cylinders, the R2800 on the original Corsair which I assume powered the original version, has two rows of nine, so a slimmer package on the more powerful engine seems likely. The F2G Corsair with the the R4360 is very similar to the F4U at the front, while the V-326 installation looks almost like the Dart on the HS748 and G1 or the several Dart P-51s that appeared briefly around 1970.

Never heard of the V-326, nor, as far as I can see, has Wikipedia! Good educational thread this...
