A Rumpler model ?

Wait until SincoTC gets here - he'll bag them all !

nvubu 21st Oct 2019 20:27

Interesting .... On further research (i.e. searching for Rumpler) my source documents are showing it having the has the same model name as a Rumpler, but the side on view is different and the manufacturer named is different. There are a few aircraft in my source documents that say "similar to Rumpler but...."

So not a Rumpler.

dook 21st Oct 2019 20:27

Rumpler C-VIII maybe.

Posts crossed.

I don't think Rumplers had "names" - just a letter and number.

It might therefore be an AEG.

nvubu 21st Oct 2019 20:38

Definitely not a Rumpler.
Manufacturer founded in 1911.

nvubu 21st Oct 2019 20:43

Yes - Letter/number combination same as a Rumpler.

Not an AEG.

One of the founders of the company was the son of a famous inventor.

dook 21st Oct 2019 20:49

Might well be an AGO.

nvubu 21st Oct 2019 20:56

Yes - it is an AGO C.iv. When I looked up Rumpler, I found their C.iv - which threw me a bit.

I'd never heard of AGO until today, founder - Gustav Otto, son of Nikolaus Otto - the Otto engine.
Company closed by 1928, resurrected by the Nazis in 1933.

Your turn.

dook 21st Oct 2019 21:02

I used to belong to another site doing this sort of thing. Must dig out the reference sites again.

This was your AGO....

Good day all.

There have been some strange things built in the past.

This is one of them.

dook 22nd Oct 2019 13:54

I thought it was a Sikorsky but it isn't.

Onwards wearing out my keyboard....

nvubu 22nd Oct 2019 14:15

You are correct, it isn't a Sikorsky.

And intended to be filled with helium I believe, so really a dirigible.

dook 22nd Oct 2019 15:46

Only a later enlarged model. That one wasn't.

Haraka 22nd Oct 2019 16:19

Haraka 22nd Oct 2019 17:58

Sorry guys, out of area for some weeks and also didn't realise the baton had to be passed. If somebody else could pick it up, I promise to rejoin with some rarities from my albums in due course
Haraka sincerely aplogises

India Four Two 23rd Oct 2019 05:58

Haraka,

No need for apologies. Here's a flying machine that I didn't know about until yesterday.

Is that the little Mil helicopter from around 1990? MI-34 or something? Remember one at Farnborough.

India Four Two 23rd Oct 2019 07:52

Nyet, treaders! :)

sycamore 23rd Oct 2019 08:34

Looks like the offspring of a 3some ,Bell,Enstrom and Aerospatiale....Chinese...?

Self loading bear 23rd Oct 2019 12:16

A threesome?

dook 23rd Oct 2019 15:59

Need a clew India.

India Four Two 23rd Oct 2019 16:01

It certainly does have features reminiscent of all three manufacturers. The gear looks like it is off a Jet Ranger.

Not Chinese.

India Four Two 23rd Oct 2019 16:02

All right - a clue for dook. You can build one.

PS If you need a clew, go to a sailmaker. ;)

dook 23rd Oct 2019 16:21

No I can't - I don't know from whom to order it.

dook 23rd Oct 2019 16:30

When I looked earlier I was looking for skids and not wheels !

Is it a Hummingbird ?

sycamore 23rd Oct 2019 16:32

DOOK,yer go to the scrappers,and see what you can find,then rearrange into a `pleasing and functional manner`......you can see it`s really kid`s stuff....he drew a pic of a helo,then later said `Mummy and Daddy come and see wot I did....!!

dook 23rd Oct 2019 16:35

Look wot I found:

Yes, the Hummingbird. All yours for about $200,000 and a few weekends in the garage! :E
