Hmmm, looks like an Ekranoplan that's got a little too high for comfort !

Time for something good looking for a change:

Could it be the 1933 Kellner-Béchereau UD ?
Close enough although I have the type listed as a 28VD.
Hoped to have fooled you all a bit longer with an actual good looking French aircraft! :d

Decidedly, I keep struggling with my sources to get the right designation :d
This one should resist for at least 5 seconds:
The Finnmark had me going.
Tough sometimes when you don't have a single Janes volume to reference. Thats just sour grapes though.
Sorry, Moses, it has been around the quizzes, that one. (and it is in at least one of the Putnams you listed in another thread!)
&Co's supremely ugly bug is a Tomashyevich (whichever way you want to spell it) Pegas 04.
Indeed Lefty !
Over to our Caledonian Relic - as usual :d
Thanks, Yann
As it is raining buckets here today, I shall stick to a watery theme - a nice (and this time really easy) one...
OH dear, the bug's got to this forum ! I am shown as having posted this morning, but the post itself has disappeared.
No, there it is now - I can see it is going to be one of those days.
Dare I guess that it's Fairchild F-91?
Pretty good guess by my reckoning Lionus
I think I'll wait for affirmation before posting a plane.. it's hopefully a challenging one.
Well, after the Finnmark, we now have a Finn who's on the mark ! :costumes: (sorry about that one)
Yes it's a Fairchild 91, Captured by the Nationalists from a ship in the Bay of Biscay and serving with them throughout the Spanish Civil War.
Over to chillier climes for the next mystery, and welcome, Lionus !
Thank you! and let's give this one a try..
they both are same plane as you can tell, but what plane is it? :d
Welcome, Lionus !
Your mystery looks like a Dunne (D8 ?)
it indeed is Burgess-Dunne from 1914. That didn't last too long, only.. 23 minutes.:redf: I'll get more challenging one next time, your turn.
Ah, the US licenced version - I could not have been so specific.
Mysteries are quite surprising. We were discussing it the other day whith Moses03: those you expect to last for days fall within minutes, those you think easy turn out to be stinkers... Go figure.
Next one, then. Probably an easy one:
I think that's a Bleriot III-3
See Lionus ? That was an easy one :d
over to Lefty (maybe a glass of Laphroaig would do better at that time of day but there's no icon for it )
indeed.
Here's an assembly from the spare parts box..............
