I have a problem with this plane
Hello all,
The streamlined Aussie is the Gross JG-2.
I'm back after six weeks vacation ...
Here is my (easy) contribution, it should not need any clues:
The E.P.9s in their various guises had a long and successful lifespan as private aircraft, utilized in multi-role STOL operations as an agricultural sprayer, light cargo aircraft, jump plane, air ambulance and glider tug. One E.P.9 even had a more chequered career. Today, registered as N747JC, this particular E.P.9 originally was registered in Great Britain as G-ARTV. Prior to that it was XM819, one of two evaluated by the British Army Air Corps (the other being XM797). It was once owned in the late 1960s by a gang of international smugglers who found it the ideal way to smuggle stolen furs and counterfeit Swiss francs between England and Belgium. Although the criminals were apprehended in 1969, the E.P.9 ended up for sale in Belgium in 1972. After three years of pleasure flying in England, the aircraft was shipped to the United States where it sat in storage in a Wisconsin barn until 1999. After an extensive restoration, N747CJ appeared at Oshkosh in 2001-03. The aircraft currently (summer 2008) is for sale with an asking price of $59,000.
So do I Storch. I'll leave that for Emilio!
General Aircraft GAL.56, not sure which of the three it is. (but one of the 2 with constant sweep)
Is it being towed by the Halifax?
Yes. The 'shadowing' comment was a diversionary tactic.
Yes the photo show a 1/20 models probably.this photo come to the Air and space museum of The bourget next to Paris.And no I don't take this photo but man's woh take it tell me that they named the plane "Albatros" but it's not an Albatros this plane is different.
Northrop T89 Scorpion?
I depends how accurate the model is. It has the look of the Albatros C.II about it but certain details would have to be wrong for that to be the right answer, and given the obvious care taken in building it how likely is it that the details of the design would be wrong?
I have not yet found an Albatros design in which the forward undercarriage strut meets the interplane strut as it does on that model.
