Early ? It was after midday when I posted, BG ! (I'm up at 6.30 GMT every morning - the good lady still works....)Originally Posted by Baragouin
Anyway, here's a beast of the Thirties - with some smooth-looking fliers - now where do they come from ?????
OK about 10 produced - served as a trainer with a European air force. Hispano mill.
In my opinion it is a Renard-Stampe&Vertongen RSV 26/180 ( therefore Belgium) but I might be wrong as amongst them there is a fair amount of look-alikes......
All the best
BG
You are absolutely correct, BG, it is an RSV 26/180 at Saint-Hubert. Glass ofduvel for you, sir....
Thanks Lefty....
Here's a dear old girl....
BG
Looks Teutonic....
Sablatnig P III ??
Right you are Lefty it is indeed the prototype of the Sablatnig III of 1921 first passenger Aircraft produced in Germany after WWI....
Your turn please
BG
Here's a floater tucked up for bed, which is where I intend to be in 5 minutes !
Please just proceed if you get it - not difficult !.....
Will slip in while Europe is asleep, this is the SNCAC NC.420. Think we have seen her before!
Pressing on with another floater...
Hello gentlemen!
This is a very rare pic of the Savoia Marchetti S63 of 1927 (I-AABH)....
Cheers
BG
Well spotted BG!
Over to you.
Thanks Moses!
Here comes a difficult one however I'm going to give you an important clue: this bird comes from a european country that doesn't exist any more but is still present with quite a few different names....
BG
Well a European country that doesn't exist any more sounds like Yugoslavia (the only other one I can think of is Czechoslovakia).
Can't find a Yugo machine like that at all....
Oh, there are a few more: Austro-Hungarian empire, Grossdeutsches Reich, République des Soviets du Sud-Ouest de la France, etc
Not that it helps id that girl...
Hello gentlemen,
well the country is indeed Yugoslavia but my girl doesn't belong to one of the major companies like Zmaj or Fizir....
Cheers
BG
Well I think it's high time to carry on...the proposed Aircraft is a Bloudek XIV "Sraka" originally built in 1925 in Yugoslavia and re-built in 1932, powered by a diminutive Blackburn Tomtit....
Open house for me now....please go ahead whoever feels like....
BG
PS I suggest you read Mr. Bloudek's biography in the net....quite a character!
Interesting indeed, BG !
Let's keep it moving - shouldn't take you long to figure this out - but which air arm ???
It's a Curtiss-Wright CW19R a fighter built for Equador with two machineguns in its pants (or trousers)|
Cheers
BG
Absolutely right, BG - but you're not getting away with an OH this time !
It is obvious that it is italian....but what is it?
BG
This is the Macchi M.53 recon seaplane.
Have a feeling Lefty already knew this.
It is indeed....this was easy wasn't it? I'm glad I found such a nice pic for the Macchi considering the epoch it was taken!
Now please surprise us with a new item....
Cheers
BG
I thought it might be a Macchi but it took a stroll through the Thompson book to be sure.
Oddball time. This one managed a hop or two...
Very glad I wasn't in it at the time......
