Quickmarch 488 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Thought for a second there it was a turbo'd Maule, Gosh that tail is distinctive, not a Cessna.............. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Time for another clue... Someone guessed a Beaver and it's not that, but it is named for an animal from that same part of the world..., and no, it's not an animal that was ever used by De Havilland.

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'll give you another clue, The place this aircraft was built is not normally associated with aircraft building. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 It looks like a Malév IL-14 in the background Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Another clue, the country that made it no longer exists! Link to post Share on other sites

Quickmarch 488 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 All those little troops lined up in the background and the design of the AC dictate a communist-style country. When you say "doesn't exist anymore" does this mean it's one of those places that's been renamed, rather than absorbed? Inquiring minds must know.......... Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Or East Germany, or whatever it was called, the People's Democratic Republic of Germany or some such. A couple of other candidates come to mind, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, both of which have been paritioned into two or more countries. Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 OK, I got it. From Wiki... "The Baade 152 also known as Dresden 152, VL-DDR 152 or simply 152 was the first German jet passenger airliner. It was built and tested in Dresden (East Germany) between 1956 and 1961, but failed to enter service. " John Link to post Share on other sites
