    This could be a Bernard 86 driven by a german diesel engine derived from the Bernard 82B3 "Bombardier de represailles"....(or am I totally wrong?!)

    You are absolutely right, BG - this is actually the one fitted with a Jumo V while waiting for its CLM 'Lille' licence-built engine. Back to Italy !

    Thanks Lefty!
    Since we are in France let's stay there....what's the name of this (probably home made) monoplane?
    Cheers

    I have it as the Guedon Monoplane, designed by a M. Guedon. That is all I have. I imagine PH has more on it!

    Oh no, it's not grainy enough for me!

    Around 535 of these were produced. The diesel was a 1946 variant.

    Stinson 10 Voyager ?

  11. #12961
    Basically yes Mike, this particular diesel version is a 105 but 10 works for me.

    The story here: https://books.google.com/books?id=Af...diesel&f=false

    Have at it-

    Hi Mike
    The Ross RS-2L (L for Lycoming?) ?

  16. #12966
    Got it! Just unearthed this from my archives.

    Edit: Wout beat me to the punch!


  17. #12967
    Yes, Walter nicked it ! I was a little out with the price - the original 1939 version was $875.

    Over to Holland.

    Thank you Mike
    Sorry Kevin, but here is another your chance!
    All I can disclose is that the regisration on the aircraft does not contain an N.

    Sorry, sorry, sorry
    She has a registration containing an N, but not the FAA way

  20. #12970
    Walter, my search for aircraft manufactured in Nicaragua, Nepal and Nigeria failed to turn up this Tucano clone, so I'll have to leave it to chaps with more up-to-date books than me ! (Norway too!)

    The scenery looks like somewhere hottish.....

    Hi MIke
    The N is in the five letter registration (no.4), but so many countries have five letter registrations.
    You are right about the hottish scenery. You may find several (maybe all?) of the big five over there.

  22. #12972
    OK, I looked harder in Zuid Afrika, and came up with ZU-CNH, the Lammer Geyer Jupiter ?

    Hi Mike
    Excellent research. The Jupiter it is
    Looking forward to your next challenge.

  24. #12974
    Thanks Walter - probably prefer a hot toddy to a cool drink - succumbing to one of those wretched summer colds !

    Here's a neat trainer -
