Perfect, the one and only RWD 7.
Interesting that there are quite a few aircraft with a similar look from different countries.
Over to you, Kevin!

Blimey too late.....just watching the splendid match Roma-Barcelona and the miracle happened: 3 to nil therefore Roma is now in the semifinals!Originally Posted by Moses03
Sorry for the digression...

Thanks Robert.
This one is a bit obscure but I will say it has a Maybach engine...
I was thinking something Czech but the background says USA ?
An airship engine in a relative small biplane. Must have been rather nose heavy...
Not Czech or American Mike, and Robert seems to have found it.
Another photo might help out-
Thanks, got it now...
The engine must have been a Maybach MB-IV. I read somewhere that a Kawanishi Aircraft had such an engine...however I can't proceed further than that....
Cheers
Carlo
PS maybe Kawanishi K3?
Hey Carlo, not a Kawanishi but from a lesser known outfit. It was a 320hp Maybach, flown in 1921.

Thank you Uli.Over to western Europe-
let's try this (sorry for the bad picture!)

Is that the H.Cukurs C-3 YL-AAB? It seems to have existed in single and two seat formats.
Edit: on reflection, I think I'm wrong as the aeroplane illustrated above appears to have a cantilever wing (unlike the C-3) - but the 'humpback' is very Cukurs' like.
If I'm not wrong this plane should be some years older than the Cukurs.
Robert is right and the plane is from a stable that became (and still is) really world-famous. There is a good clue in this photo but another (more obvious) one is absent.

It looks like a modified Junkers CL.I/J10
Chris
It IS a modified J.10: D-77 which conveyed the lord mayor of Dessau to Weimar on June 17, 1919.
Over to you, Chris

Search doesn't show up on thread. Could be a stumper. From a country not normally seen.

Hi Chris
I think she maye have originated in Syria before WW2 and said to be a project of Air France personel stationed in Damascus during the 1930s. First flight 1 November 1935?
She may never have been officially registered although I have seen a pic sporting the (fake?) S-YRIE registration.
Further understand that after WW2 she may have gone to Lebanon as the DS-1 Papillon with 1947 registration LR-AAP. Damaged same year.

Good morning everybody!Hi Chris

Only this morning I saw Chthornburg pic.
To confirm Wout's comments I also have her identified as D.S. N1 (ex SBPCC) "Papillon" Lebanon 40HP Salmson engine LR-AAP. If somebody is interested I also have two additional pics (grainy):
Cheers
Carlo
Walter over to you. Unmod pix shows LR-AA
Chris
Thank you Chris
Hi Carlo. Pleae share the DS-1 pics with us. I am sure there are not that many on the net.
Next challenge is, I admit, a homebuilt but she was given the name of a very well-known designer/company that is still in business.
O... started his company when the country had a different name than nowadays. Of course she has one of my engines.
Here is a photo in colour with a hint
Walter, I presume that says 'Oleg Antonov', presumably the name of this machine ? The tail unit is pure Orlican, or similar Czech machines, but apart from that, I've no idea!
