An amended Fairchild (X)R2K-1 maybe?

No, this one of three Fairchild 22-C7F supplied to Colombia in 1934.

Here's another machine far from home...

***Moses03*** · January 1st, 2013, 07:56

Blast! I just saw this one somewheres...

**Baragouin** · January 1st, 2013, 08:51

This is a SIAI S-52 of 1923 powered by a Hispano-Suiza HS42. Only two built.
Baragouin

PS Also known as Savoia-Marchetti SIAI S52

The

is yours, Baragouin, but for an extra pastis, tell me where this one flew ?? (and it's not Mexico.......)

**Baragouin** · January 1st, 2013, 11:44

Thanks Lefty but you're asking too much of me so I think I'll have to give up drinking your pastis.....
BG

**lefty** · January 2nd, 2013, 04:46

This one found itself in........

which, as I'm sure you all know, is Paraguay.

Over to you, BG, while I slurp the pastis........

**Baragouin** · January 2nd, 2013, 07:39

Good afternoon/night/morning gentlemen!
to start the year this is my enigmatic machine....
BG

**lefty** · January 2nd, 2013, 07:47

Looks like he's ordering his lunch (moules, mayo & frites) - it's an ACAZ C.2

***Ferry_vO*** · January 2nd, 2013, 08:43

Quite a few reposts here lately.... Luckily I saved most photos (Over 2,000 up til today!) over the last few years and zipped 'em up so I can send them to anyone that wants them.

If you are interested, send me a PM with your email adress so I can upload the zip file this weekend to wetransfer.com and you'll receive a link to download in your mail.

***Moses03*** · January 3rd, 2013, 07:31

Baragouin has been away for a day. I would suggest pressing on here Mike.

Good on you to archive the photos Ferry.

**Baragouin** · January 3rd, 2013, 07:45

Sorry for the delay gentlemen (senility demands its toll!)...
:redf:Yes it is the belgian ACAZ C2, Please carry on
Baragouin

**lefty** · January 3rd, 2013, 08:17

All right, what is this one ?

***Moses03*** · January 3rd, 2013, 09:31

This a version of the Bernard 260 C-1?

**lefty** · January 3rd, 2013, 11:41

Yup - the one with the big radiator......

***Moses03*** · January 3rd, 2013, 16:39

Nice photo Mike. Have not seen that before.

Up next a twin. I like twins.

See my last post in Aviation Books

This one of those Interstate drone thingies - XTD3R-2 ?? Haven't seen one with radial motors and the bulgy bit underneath before.......

***Moses03*** · January 4th, 2013, 04:31

A brew for Lefty.

I bet that Bernard book has some interesting photos.

**Dev One** · January 4th, 2013, 07:27

The 'bulgy bit' looks like a torpedo, or it could possibly be a stowed towed target?
Keith

***Moses03*** · January 4th, 2013, 07:47

You are right Keith. I didn't even notice that was a torpedo slung under there.

Indeed it has, sir. But this ain't one of them... a floater in a far-away place.

**lefty** · January 5th, 2013, 00:55

From a very well-known company which is still making aeroplanes today !

When you get it, please proceed as I shall be absent for a couple of days..

**Baragouin** · January 5th, 2013, 05:08

mmmm...it reminds me of a Curtiss XN2C-1 "Fledgling", floater version that is.....
Baragouin

***Moses03*** · January 5th, 2013, 14:27

That a single main pontoon and wing floats? If so, nothing is coming up for that layout. Otherwise it looks a little like a Martin T4M-1 minus the float bits but that is a stretch.
