On the ball, Ferry.

***Ferry_vO*** · February 10th, 2009, 13:19

Let's see if you guys know this one:

**lefty** · February 10th, 2009, 14:10

This one featured in the very first Jane's I ever had, given to me by my Dad for Christmas of 19** ! (It cost him a cool 4 guineas - about a week's wage)

I have actually posted it in a very early thread, so I'll leave it for now.

***Moses03*** · February 10th, 2009, 14:35

A heave of the mug to Lefty's Dad.

Indonesia's finest. Nurtanio Nu-200.

Edit: Going to be away until late in the day tomorrow possibly so I will press on with the next one. Hope you all don't mind another biplane of size...

**lefty** · February 10th, 2009, 22:27

Well judging by all the extras from South Pacific lounging around, this might just be American............

**lefty** · February 11th, 2009, 03:22

Found it. It is a Timm Skylark.

***Moses03*** · February 11th, 2009, 04:43

That's it.

Do your worst-

**lefty** · February 11th, 2009, 05:22

Not a nasty one at all - should be a quick turnaround.

***Moses03*** · February 11th, 2009, 09:43

A Blackburn TB from Lefty.

Hehe.

**lefty** · February 11th, 2009, 11:39

A Blackburn it is - TB or not TB, that is the question.. (only kidding.)

Over to you, sailor.

***Moses03*** · February 11th, 2009, 13:07

Here is one that was ahead of the curve at the time...

**lefty** · February 12th, 2009, 09:54

Well I'm off curling again (five days consecutive - hope the old body stands up to it).
Better nab this one - a de Bruyère Canard from way back in 1917. It didn't make it very far off the ground. Now there's a surprise.

A nice easy one to get the ball rolling again. The Sagebrush Savant will be alive and kicking, so you'd better be in quick or another beer will be headin' down ol' Frisco way......(and he's the leading authority on pushers too)

**& Co.** · February 12th, 2009, 11:05

PZL M17, methink.

How's your purchase going, Lefty ?

***Moses03*** · February 12th, 2009, 12:14

Lefty scored big on the Bruyere C1.

& Co swoops in for the kill on the PZL. Nice one.

**& Co.** · February 12th, 2009, 12:28

Thanks, Kevin. Let's keep the ball rollin' then

Hey, a pusher for ya !

**lefty** · February 13th, 2009, 01:00

Hmmm, not too good on these homebuilds - looks French ?? Not much of a clue here.

***Ferry_vO*** · February 13th, 2009, 01:56

It's German; the HB-Flugtechnik HB-23.

**& Co.** · February 13th, 2009, 03:44

Over to Ferry for the Brditschka HB-23 - the name in itself is a poem !

**lefty** · February 13th, 2009, 04:25

Well, you live and learn! (Actually, Ferry, it isn't German, it's Austrian)

***Ferry_vO*** · February 13th, 2009, 12:50

This should keep you busy for a while:

***Ferry_vO*** · February 14th, 2009, 13:55

No one..?

It's a Dutch Lambach HL.1; on to this very ugly aircraft:

**lefty** · February 14th, 2009, 14:41

What's the date on the Lambach, Ferry ?

***Moses03*** · February 14th, 2009, 14:53

Never seen that one before. Thinking it might be one of those obscure Ruskies?

***Ferry_vO*** · February 14th, 2009, 15:41

About 1935, Mike.

**lefty** · February 14th, 2009, 21:23

The ugly one's beat me too, Ferry, although I don't think it is Russian.
