You're bang on cp77. The F7F earlier in the thread reminded me of its not-so-aesthetic ancestor.

The second aircraft is a very rare version of a much better known aircraft.

Close on the third linecrew. It's the Yak-15. Basically a Yak-9 piston fighter with a German Jumo 004 straight from a 262 put on the front and faired in with the lower aft fuselage cut back for the exhaust.

My bad. At least I did get the K54 right though. It was a one off developed from airframe construction number 4 of the single engined version of the Ju-52. scroll about 1/2 way down the page

Thanks for that link linecrew, I guess you are right with that specific aircraft. I was going for the JU-52 1/m. I didn't want to have a picture of CF-ARM lest the registration give it away.

I was completely mind blown when I found out about this aircraft. JU-52s for me were three engined aircraft for dropping Nazi paratroopers into Crete and supplying the Demyansk pocket. :shock:

Many here may not know, but that particular aircraft started out life as as a JU-52/3M Trimotor and was modified to resemble a JU-52/1M.

DH 60 Moth with the Cirrus engine.

Yep. I climbed all over it one afternoon at the Wings and Wheels Museum in Orlando. The story of how it was ferried to Winnipeg was in an issue of the CAHS Journal, many moons ago.
