4 seat touring aeroplane with stretcher capability.
Developed from a previous tandem 2 seater. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4cdac5fbf3.png |
American?
|
No.
European. |
What cockpit
Jodel D140. (Posted also on 'name that plane' by mistake
|
Afraid not.
This pre-dates your Jodel by twenty years or so. |
Miles Messenger?
|
Not a Miles.
This one seems to have had a blind flying panel added though how you'd scan that systematically I can't imagine. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1079edb0e8.png |
Miles Mercury? fits the bill - but not a Miles.................
|
As I said, not a Miles.
Anyhow, you never saw a Miles with a silhouette like that, did you? First flight five years before the Mercury and though similar in many ways this was rather chunkier and more substantial. From a country with one of the greatest aviation heritages. (ie not Rumania etc) |
Hmmm. Would the mystery cockpit be from an aircraft resembling a Spartan Executive - but from Italy?
|
Possibly the NARDI FN.310?
|
Possibly a Klemm...?
|
It's not "possibly" the Nardi 310.
It is the Nardi 310.Well done Noyade. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....91b261d4c7.png |
|
Must be on the wing/strut....?
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3fee6c4d33.jpg like this,then...? |
Not a biplane Sycamore. Wiki says it was once clocked at 325mph.
|
Possibly a Thompson Trophy racer from `38-39...?
|
Yes - A Thompson Trophy racer. First flight was 1934 from a well known designer/builder. There is a YouTube video (1982) of him sitting in the racer explaining the cockpit controls and the aircraft in general. It now resides in a museum.

External shot. I've read he sold the patent for the spring steel undercart to Cessna.
No wheel brakes. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4803ba7bde.jpg |
Not able to monitor this for a few days - so I'll shut it down and declare Open House.
Twas... Bonzo |
|
The shade of paint suggests USSR or Russia?
|
There were a good many countries in the USSR besides Russia!
But no not Russia and only just USSR. |
|
Yeah, already thought it looked familiar to me.
You cannot zoom out much further without giving the game away. Belarus isn’t it? |
It is Belarus
|
Nobody else seems interested.
it is the Narushevich Ring Wing. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3c8496758.jpeg |
Bear has it.
Sadly I get the impression this thread has had its day. Interest does indeed seem minimal. |
Too much vodka ,or coffee stains on `the plans`...!
|
Apparently it flew well, had good short/rough field performance and had an nusually high payload vs its empty weight.
There's video of it flying on youtube. |
Thanks Mel,
we will just carry on until some newbies get interested. For which Aerodrome this seems to be the case so nothing lost. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....d45a831c3.jpeg |

is that a 4 point harness? |
Don't recognise the radio bottom right - perhaps an older model?
basic GPS on top of the panel bolted on as an after thought This looks like a kit plane to me?? Blowing up the image - the hand written sheet in the centre looks like it's an aerobatic maneuvers diagram |
The radio looks like a Garmin 295 or one of the variants. Quite an old piece of kit now. The harness looks like a 5 point Hooker. The Arresti sequence is too blurred to make much out. I will see if I can sharpen it. There must be an G meter there somewhere, maybe bottom right. Single seat aerobatic taildragger, maybe an early homebuilt Pitts S1?
|
I think you mean the GPS is an old Garmin? Certainly looks like it - anyway that fits with the radio which doesn't look recent to me.
And it looks like a prop blade visible mid left - and there isn't an equivalent on the other side so it's either two blade (unlikely I'd guess) or 3 blade prop? |
Yes - home-built kit aerobatic aircraft - circa 1998.

Early `Extra 200`...?
