Spot on Jim! - all yours.

[Capt. Vick]

Try this:

 

[Graeme]

That would be the Monsted-Vincent MV-1 Starflight...

Monsted-Vincent
(Robert) Monsted-(H Farley) Vincent, New Orleans LA.

Monsted-Vincent Star Flight [X77770] (Dan Shumaker coll)

Monsted-Vincent Star Flight Wind victim [X77770] (Dan Shumaker coll)

Star Flight 1948 = 5pChwM rg; four 85hp Continental C-85 pusher; span: 48'5" length: 34'6" load: 1800# v: x/145/65 range: 1200; ff: 10/1/48. Art Turner. All-metal; looked like a scaled-down B-36 bomber. POP: 1 [X77770]. The best parts of the only four-motor plane ever built in Louisiana were still in existence in 1992 at Wedell-Williams Museum in Patterson LA.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Great going! Excellent info! Sad ending. I guess they scrapped her huh?

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Jim! Probably not a lot of future for a miniature B-36.

Time for someone else to have a turn.

Cheers.

 

[Graeme]

Been a while, and no takers - so, I might try this one...

Ah, that's R2D2's Sunday suit .........

 

[Graeme]

Ah, that's R2D2's Sunday suit .........

Bit big for his Sunday suit mate - around 30 tons...

 

[Airframes]

Hmm. The I'm ****ed if I know !

 

[Graeme]

Hmm. The I'm ****ed if I know !

I know that feeling!

Early clue then - it's British....

 

[Airframes]

Brabazon ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

British huh? I was gonna say that all stainless steel American bird before you said that... Hmmm...

 

[Graeme]

Sorry Terry, not the Brabazon.

British huh? I was gonna say that all stainless steel American bird before you said that... Hmmm...

The Budd Conestoga is what you're referring to, I think Jim - and in some ways this mystery nose does resemble that of the Conestoga, but mine has four engines...

 

[Capt. Vick]

That was the one! Thanks. Knew that was all I had to saw for you to know what I was talking about.

An early Agrosy?

 

[Graeme]

Not the Argosy.

Here's more....

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh isn't that a Convair or something light that? Where they cut up a DC something and put the cockpit on top to make her a straight through cargo ship?

 

[Graeme]

Convair or something light that?

Hi Jim. I'm sure you meant to type Carvair.

That'll do me mate!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Harrah for me! OK, now try this one. (I don't eve

n know it, so if you do you're going to have to supply proof!)
