Blossom certainly was NOT responsible for the retractable undercarriage,according to Don Lambert Brown in his Putnam Miles book
OH from me BTY.l

[fauteuil volant]

As to the Hobby's retractable undercarriage, Don Brown said that F.G.Miles 'decided to farm out its design and construction to a firm specializing in that work'. It was considerate of him not to say who the specialist firm was - having regard to the fact that the undercarriage it designed wouldn't retract into the wing rebates designed to accept it, which deprived the Hobby of the chance to compete in the 1937 Kings Cup race.

It appears that, by default, responsibility to post the next challenge falls to wub.

That is the AK-1 Fethi now in the Turkish airforce museum Ankara. The name was the giveaway. Fethi (after whom the Turkish resort of Fethiye was named) was the first Turkish pilot. Killed attempting a flight from Istanbul to Cairo in a Bleriot. Two of these were built and flown in 2001.

[wub]

Well Googled sir, over to you....

[ea200]

Sorry for the delay. Let's try this one. Shouldn't last long.

[zetec2]

Looks like the bastard son of a Pilatus P2 and an Hindustan HT2

[ea200]

I can see your point. The P2 not so much, especially around the nose. Had to look up the HT2. AFAIK this aircraft has no connection to either.

[wub]

Looks a bit Zlin-ish

[ea200]

Not a Zlin. Clue tomorrow if needed.

Hi ea200
My other half has ID'd it as an MKEK - 4 Uğur
Designed by Türk Hava Kurumu and although all metal - probably partly based around the Miles Magister (look at side view LOL),powered by a good old Dripsy Major.

OH if correct.

[ea200]

Mrs Ron strikes again! It is indeed the MKEK. Passing simularity to quite a few other types of that era.

Open house has been declared.

[Self loading bear]

Double trouble

Please give the aircraft type bottom left here and the airport in the other thread

[Jhieminga]

I'll go with the Pander P-2.

Correct Pander P-2
You still can take the double.

[Jhieminga]

I'll leave the location to someone else, and here's another challenge:

[Herod]

No idea, but it's a pretty looking machine. A real "gentleman's horseless carriage" ; and room for one's lady friend as well.

[sablatnic]

Looks a bit like a Donnet Leveque, but so does half a zillion other flying boats of that era.
Still googling

[Jhieminga]

It is not a Donnet Leveque.

[Jhieminga]

... but there is a link to the Donnet Leveque (I learned that today).
