No problem mikl. To keep the thread rolling I have another that I am sure will cause no problems to the experts. I should add that only two aircraft were built.

Junkers 61 (E2 ?)

Sorry Mike, Bert has it. Although not quite 100% correct as it was a photograph of the E-1 cockpit.:)
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...kersJUEF61.jpg
Two Ju EF 61s, high-altitude development aircraft, were built E-1 (Works No 4931) and E-2 (Works No 4932) which first flew on 4th march and 18th December 1937 respectively. The E-1 crashed on the 19th September 1937 from 3,500 metres altitude. The aircraft had two DB 600 engines and carried a single fixed MG 15 as defensive armament. E-2 crashed shortly after its first flight and was completely destroyed. Seven Ju EF 61s were planned to test the type’s suitability as a high-altitude bomber with 5,000 km range. However work was switched to develop the JU 86 as a high-altitude aircraft in long distance reconnaissance and heavy –bomber versions.

You have control Bert

Yes, there was a bit of a question mark for me about which one it was so I guessed/deduced wrongly. The E2 didn't even last as long as the E1 and I'm not really surprised - I'd guess it was a landing accident with visibility like that.

You're all too fancy for me - so here's a picture of the camper van I've been building - sorry it's a bit cramped.

BTW, if anyone can describe how the control "things" worked in the Armagnac I would be delighted to hear - they look like they've been removed from a gym.

...........And the camper van ?.

Mr_Grubby 12th Feb 2006 18:36

Bert.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to jump the gun. I thought your camper van was some sort of Winniebago !

Bert, your camper van reminds me of a Waco Hadrian glider?
...er, no disrespect, 'course. :oh:

Synthetic 12th Feb 2006 22:27

Looks a bit like the original Link Trainer:)

682al 12th Feb 2006 22:40

Luton Major I would say.


G Steve Wittman's Tailwind is side by side and single stick.

I will go for an early Taylorcraft. Possibly of the L2 or other model such as Model A.In fact it also could be an Aeronca C3

682al 13th Feb 2006 09:06

Well done Wunper, it's your turn. :)
