It's European.

RegDep 24th Aug 2011 14:30

Trainer hesham? Late 50s - early 60s?

hesham 24th Aug 2011 14:41

Hi RD,

it was a project from the late 1940s,trainer and towing aircraft.

hesham 24th Aug 2011 14:47

Last explanation,

north Europe,small company.

RegDep 24th Aug 2011 14:50

Of course. Looked so familiar, but was only a project.

PIK-8, 1948

RegDep 24th Aug 2011 14:50

Finland, look above.

Sorry, time stamp problem. I had the same thing with a Greek PPRuNer in the morning. Apparently there is a server somewhere whose clock goes wrong.
My responses show earlier than the posts I am responding to. I was responding to your #1670.

Found it from another thread, your post 30th July 2010, 15:25.

hesham 24th Aug 2011 14:55

Yes RD,

hesham 24th Aug 2011 14:56

hesham 24th Aug 2011 14:56

British? A supermarine something?

RegDep 24th Aug 2011 16:31

Not British.

This was as much an one-off aircraft as they can get: One number one man designed it, flew it only once, sold it to another number one man who didn't fly it at all.

RegDep 24th Aug 2011 18:01

Whoops, I have scared out everybody else than Brian….

A further clue for lurkers: The wing and tail design was reused in another aeroplane type later, and several of them flew.

evansb 24th Aug 2011 18:25

You say "...not British" but the design is similar to the Dart Pup as well as an Airspeed design built for WS Shackelton in the 1930s. It is not unlike the Curtiss-Wright CW-1 Junior. Presently considering a German design.. Scratch that, looks like the Siebel Si-201's tail is different than the mystery ship.

RegDep 24th Aug 2011 18:50

Brian, it is an European design, the designer has a British connection, but this is not from his British period.

skwinty 24th Aug 2011 19:19

Something from a company called Franco-British Aviation who produced Leveque designs? The English French link was broken in 1917.

RegDep 24th Aug 2011 19:25

No French connection skwinty.
