Hello,
I would say that there is a DHC-7 on the foreground, and a Mystère 20 and a Convairliner (or Canadair Cosmopolitan) on the background. However I failed to find exactly what are those colours and where the picture was taken.

Close, but no cigar. Not a DHC-7. The Mystere 20 goes by another name where the picture was taken. One of your two guesses for the biggie in the background is correct.

I'd say DHC-6 Twin Otter in the front, Falcon 20 and a Canadair 580.

All correct Stargazer. But what is that funny stuff on the Twatter, and who uses it?

The scene likely takes place in Canada, given the types here, and the stripes suggest some official agency of some kind. The camera underneath the nose of the Twotter makes me think of some civilian weather-probing organization, maybe?
 
I got it: the aircraft belong to the NRC/CNRC (Canada's National Research Council):

The Twin Otter seems to have many sensors, I'm not sure exactly which ones are in the nose and which are elsewhere. (In the picture posted, it has an additional camera hung under the nose that is not in the pictures of the website.)

Winner!

The Twin Otter sensors change frequently. On this day, it had just completed a series of pollution measurements. The two boxes under the nose are particle counters.

The ex RCAF Falcon is used for fuel tests, and is mostly a mini-vomet comet.

The Cosmo is undergoing major mods for satellite com testing.

Not visible is a T-33, a still airworthy Harvard, several fly by wire helicopters, and a few "other owner" aircraft being tested on a per fee basis. No photos allowed on those. It is a really neat place for a wing nut to wonder around.
 
Here is the original photo, with all the "clues" I had to remove.

Apologies for bringing this old thread back to life, but I've been dying to post this image in this thread, but it's only now that I've managed to find it...

cheers,
Robin.

Fokker D.VII in crates, ready to be smuggled out of Germany just after WW I? IKEA flatpack plane?
 
Maybe V for Vickers? A Vimy arrives in Newfoundland, c.1919, addressed to Messrs. Alcock and Brown? Some assembly required.

I knew you guys were too good... Alcock and Brown's Vickers Vimy awaiting shipment to Newfoundland.
Don't know why they couldn't have just flown it there... ;D :p

cheers,
Robin.

Perhaps, Tu-2' designers were don't read article about Junkers-Larsen JL-12 attack plane of 1922?

Twenty-eight downward-firing Thompson guns! Gangsters' dream, no doubt!

XM-215. Vietnam era.

Ye got that one quicker than I thought you would.

With regards to this earlier post, which no one seems to have gotten, the answer was the WWII Luftwaffe's main survival gun, the Sauer M30 Luftwaffe survival drilling ('triple gun', i.e. triple-barrel combination rifle / shotgun).

sublight recognised it first. After that: picture search on XM-215 - google is your friend.

Triple-barrel. I never noticed. Nice.
 
A new one. I wonder how long it takes for this one to be ID'd...

Pre War Yugoslavian is right, but I have it not under the name Hribar...
 
YU-PDF registration is listed as being granted to a "Hribar/Kuhelj SK.Ib" in 00.10.35, destroyed 11.4.41...
 
This one should be slightly harder to find because it didn't get much press coverage. Wonder why.

It was actually relatively easy, "Ringwing airplane" in google brings 3 pics of it in the first 2 lines of results.
I guess it's now up to me?
