Parnall Possum Prototype Extra points for such an alliterative choice. I am out of town working, and must leave the field open to better prepared Ppruners. |
Parnell Possum Prototype Properly Pinpointed. That didn’t last long! I had never heard of it before I stumbled on the picture. I noticed the contra-rotating props and initially thought “No critical engine in the engine failure case.” and then I realized that both props stop when the engine fails, so my thought was irrelevant! One Napier Lion driving both props via shafts and bevel gears - a sort of updated Wright Flyer. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a92728082.jpeg Open House has been declared. |
Lets see if anyone knows this machine.

Haunted by mechanical problems. It took part in the Melbourne race in 1934 but had a partial landing gear collapse in Allahabad. After repairs it ran into a motorcar during take-off and burned. Pander aircraft went bust on it. |
Indeed it is the PH-OST, Pander S4 Postjager. An exceptional futuristic design for its time. Unfortunately it crashed early.

Open House please. Can’t find anything challenging enough:O I do love how this thread makes you explore further and find out about so many ‘what might have been’ aeroplanes. |

Looks like it could have a Pobjoy radial engine....?
|
It is indeed a Popjoy engine however not from South America |
Is it Finnish?
|
Sorry not Finnish.
|
Transport during building stage. Then with a lighter engine. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....36b970829.jpeg |
Is it French?
|
Apparently it is difficult to determine the country? https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bf54a543d.jpeg |
That's all Double Dutch to me!

PH-DSA Build by the Delft Student Aeroclub of Delft University. Designed by old DSA member Lambach. Initially powered by a Szekely SR-3 but later by the Popjoy. The name Lambach lives on in the student foundation to facilitate aircraft building by the Delft aeronautical student. Sycamore has control |
Try this one then....
