I wasn't fallowing this thread closely, so if this had been posted before I do apologize.
Could you guess which plane this is? I will only tell you that this plane was never used operationally and only one prototype was build.

Possibly the Ikarus Orkan...

Hi Imalko,
yes, I confirm Graeme's recent post, it is definitely an Ikarus "Orkan" from Yougoslavia

Some resemblance with a Tachikawa trainer...
It might be a foreign plane with japanese registration?

Sorry, no clue ATM

Cheers

That'll do me Marcogrifo. The post war Tachikawa or Tachini R-53 two seat trainer of 1952 which was a development of the R-52...

Tachikawa R-52 -

The G.A.L. 38 Fleet Shadower, VB.

Try this one...

Hi Graeme,

well I don't know what it is and have no time to look for it as the missus is calling up for lunch...However I share Marcogrifo's view: it doesn't look jap more british (but I have great difficulties in spotting trainers...)

That's it. Found the image on their home page. It just struck me as an interesting "grainy" shot that made it look kinda pre-war.

Nice job with the gyroplane VB and good looking "siggy."

Hi Graeme,
please explain the meaning of the word siggy that I keep on finding in various texts.
No trace of it in my dictionaries and not even in the Merriam-Webster
Cheers

You are both correct.... I guess this was easier question then I thought.

imalko · Jun 26, 2009

Hello Carson!
"Siggy" is abbreviation from word "signature" and on this forum its the picture and text which appears underneath you every post...Like Bf 109 in my case.

If you wish to make one for yourself, check out this thread:

Thanks very much Imalko, a young word for an old man...

Okay, next question... Can you guess which plane this is?

Yes I can Imalko.
This must be a very interesting aircraft Ikarus 451 of 1952 where the pilot was lying in prone position!

(yours is a beautiful picture)

Ikarus 232 Pionir (Pioneer). I think

PS But this is really 451 prototype. Evolution of 232 (on photo from Aviacija Srbije i Jugoslavije 1901-1994 - Aviation of Serbia and Yugoslavia 1901-1994).

imalko · Jun 27, 2009

Well, I'm impressed. I couldn't guess that experimental aircraft build in Yugoslavia would be so well known. You are right - its Ikarus 451 which was post war development of Ikarus Pionir.
Thanks for you comment about my photo Carson. It was taken at Aeronautical museum at Belgrade airport.

Hi Imalko,
please look in the "new thread" section. I have been asking information about Zmay aircrafts.
Maybe you might be the first to contribute, if you're willing to...

carson1934

imalko · Jun 27, 2009

I have already contributed... And not just me... Go on and check it out.
But I will post as much info about Zmaj aircraft as I could find.

Good afternoon Tzaw1,
you almost made it, just two minutes after me! But tell me something, the picture you have submitted is it really the Ikarus 232 (predecessor of Ikarus 451)? Would you have more pictures of it?
