The What is it? Game

[Graeme]

The 890 Mars/Mercure Transport.

Nicely done Aaron! Over to you sir.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Full picture please! (Love the weird ones)

If Graeme doesn't mind, here's the two Bregeut transports

The Bregeut Br.890H (the twin engine mentioned)

And the Br.892, which was the four engined version

Ok, I gotta find something of mine you guys have not seen before. Ok, lets try this one.

Hi Aaron.

USA? An oldie restored?
Small radial? Just the one brace per wing?
High wing or parasol?

Many built?

Cheers!

Looks like a Luscombe Silvaire ...N9945C ?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Gary, you are in the landing pattern sir. Just not quite there.
Graeme, high wing, non-radial Continental A-65, civil.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Gary has the correct manufacturer. Anyone?

Hi Aaron.

I wasn't sure what you meant by Gary being in a "Landing Pattern". I took it to mean he had the Luscombe part right, but not from the Silvaire family. So I had a look at the Sedan - but no match (see below). But now with your Continental clue and confirming Luscombe, I keep coming back to the Luscombe 8A. Now, I always thought the 8 series, with all their alphabetical soup sub-designations were collectively known as the Silvaire family. Maybe not?
I had a look at the Luscombe 8 Wiki site article and they call the 8A with the 65 hp Continental engine the "Luscombe Master".

Luscombe 8A Luscombe Master?

Not a match, but this was my only other thought - the Luscombe 11 Sedan...

I thought Gary nailed it (down to the N number)

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Graeme has it with the 8A Luscombe Master. Dave, I looked and didn't see the Silvair anywhere for this. The Silvair is a larger plane. The 8A is a two seater. I may be wrong, and if I am, I apologize and the field belongs to Gary.

 

[GrauGeist]

Wow...they are certainly close in appearance, that's for sure!

Well done, Graeme!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

The 8A does not have the window behind the entry doors, and the vertical tail is rounded and somewhat smaller. The whole aircraft is smaller actually.

 

[GrauGeist]

I see that now...but that's not what the clue was showing!!

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Aaron, but Gary did the "hard yakka" with that one. I just followed his lead so I would like him take the controls and land as he's been in a holding pattern too long.

Cheers!

 

[Geedee]

That was a good one Brooks, I learnt a bit about the Luscombe family after looking at the replies. Actually quite a pretty lil' Plane !

If you're happy Graeme ?.... have a go at this beauty

Now we are down to rivets ... or bolts !
And a very wild, nowhere near guess at a Fiesler Storch.

Sorry Terry, its not a Storch

 

[Airframes]

Didn't think it was !
That top bit looks rather like a leaf spring, although it's a tad 'light', and wouldn't be bolted. Think I've seen that somewhere before though .....

Biplane?
