The lack of answers regarding the present “wot” seems to indicate that my original classification of a “challenge” was probably correct…
Since I cannot reveal much more on this aircraft – except for technical data (I have a company advertising flyer) – I might as well disclose the manufacturer and designation: It is a “Konstruktionskontor Nord (Flugzeugbau Nord) MZF 1“. The “MZF” stands for “Mehrzweckflugzeug” or multi-purpose aircraft, so Wout was not that far off! The flyer shows”Konstruktionskontor Nord” and “Flugzeugbau Nord” concurrently on the title page – so I cannot really say which of the two company designations is applicable. Both companies are shown as being located in Kiel in northern Germany.
I will not show the additional pictures and drawing from the flyer here for copyright reasons. Technical data listed in the flyer include a span of 10.20 metres, length of 5,60 metres and height of 3,00 m. A specific engines type is not listed, the manufacturer speaks of “engines from 55 to 90 hp”. Performance includes a maximum speed of 267 km/h (a bit fast for a plane of this configuration and engine power IMHO) and take-off and landing roll of less than 50 m each.
As a “bonus”, however, I will also show a SECOND aircraft from the same manufacturer – called the BKF 1 (the MKF 1 can be seen in the Background). It is another twin, but of totally different design. This plane reminds me of the Scholz SS-1, a very similar homebuilt that was shown on the DELA exhibition in 1977.
Both planes did not carry any registration and – as already indicated – I do not know whether one has ever been issued, or whether any of the two has flown.
Open House!
