Those fancy "opera" windows are very distinctive. My money is on the RWD-7. http://rwd-dwl.net/samoloty/rwd_7/index.htm

Okay, here is a little discussed effort. Sorry about the crease!

[lefty]

The ill-fated Sikorsky S-34.

[Moses03]

Easy pickings for the floatster!

Are there any other photos of this ship?

[lefty]

I suspect not. But I do have the same photo without the crease, if you want !

Here's a smart little tourer, with a distinctive undercarriage..

My dear Lefty this is a Gabardini-CANSA Lictor 130 of 1935 (only one was built derived from the Lictor 90)....

[lefty]

I had a suspicion that you may pounce on this one, BG...... Correct in every detail...

[Baragouin]

This is going to be a difficult item therefore let me give you a couple of clues: it was built in South America where it seldom flew ending up its days as a trophy in the forecourt of a commercial centre in the city of Martinez...
Best of luck!

Turbay T-II Cacique of 1949. I read it was destroyed by a fire before it ever flew?

Thanks Moses for the very quick reaction!
Your reply seems to me basically correct although the information I have is somewhat different. It is correct that this Aircraft was planned by Turbay in Argentina however following attached link calls it Alaire (the factory where it was built) AL-1 (LV-X44) and according to same it first flew in 1970.

Having said that your reply is OK for me and look forward to your next move.

[Moses03]

Thanks for the additional info BG. I gave it a shot!

Here is one of my favorite aircraft. Not very difficult I would imagine.

[lefty]

Not very difficult I would imagine.

Well, with those gentlemen in kepis......

A Dewoitine D.338, n'est-ce pas ?

Nice interior pic - I see the French had their customer priorities right....

[Baragouin]

Well somebody got their first....Dewoitine D338 F-AOZA....
BG

[Moses03]

Lefty by a nose! Long nose of the lovely 338.

[lefty]

Have to work fast to get in ahead of BG these days.....

Here's an interesting four-seater -

Hi Lefty!
I swear I've seen it before, the long dorsal fin being a very distinctive feature....however my luck is running out as I just can't place it!
BG

[lefty]

Paging Wout............

[burcham8]

BG, it is indeed the Nanchang J-12, a sort of scaled-down Mig-21.


(Marc, which movie ????)

I'm thinking about something like WINGS or HELL'S ANGELS...

One more clue - a one-off from this company -1950 - Walter Minor engine.

[Dev One]

Lefty, looking at the exhaust stubs I count six of them - I have not yet found a Walter Micron 6 pott yet! Must keep looking.
Keith

EDIT: It would help if I read things correctly! not Micron, but Minor! Unfortunately Wiki does not show that aircraft in its list of Minor engines - back to the drawing board with a new pair of glasses methinks!

[Moses03]

Struggling with this one. Not my forte.

Edit: Okay, maybe the Guerchais Schwander T-55?

[lefty]

Good bit of detective work from Texas there - Guerchais-Schwander T.55 F-WFAA it is.

[Moses03]

Thanks for the clues!


Another Salon baby. Wonder if those names on the wall are a red herring or not!

In my opinion it is a Dewoitine D480 or D481 with cowled engine: the former was fitted with a Salmson engine and the latter with a Lorraine engine...but of course I could be wrong!

BG
PS Congratulations on the Guerchais-Schwander...it wasn't easy!
