Yo !

[srgalahad]

nice job of sticking the the "Canada" theme lefty

[Moses03]

I have recovered from the tropical bug.

Here is something newer and not from Canada...

[Hurricane]

Partenavia P.68?

[Moses03]

Spot on James. Over to you-

[Hurricane]

Thanks Moses.

Thought its time for a proper aircraft:d

[Ferry_vO]

Looking at the tail and rotor I'd say it's a derivative of the Bell 47, but it could also be a modified version of one of the many license-built 47's..

[Moses03]

Texas Helicopter Co. M-79T.

Ferry did the heavy lifting here, I just followed up on his Bell 47 clue.:mixedsmi:

[lefty]

Nice one, Kevin (it would have been a bit naughty of you not to get it - built in your backyard !)
This model is in the 80/81 Jane's, which is, of course, one of the few I don't have !

[Hurricane]

goes to moses.

Thought the tail was going to be a giveaway. Theres a few nasty ones where that came from though

[lefty]

James, I'm impressed. I didn't think students 'did' mornings. (Especially Sunday).

[Hurricane]

Had my last ever exam on thursday afternoon so I'm not a student anymore! Just got the small matter of finding jobs though.

[Moses03]

Best of luck to you James.

Having an absolutely beautiful day here. Sunshine and a nip in the air. Seems criminal to be in front of a computer!

Onward and upward-

[Ralf Roggeveen]

I think it's a Praga E.211 from what used to be Czechoslovakia...

[Ralf Roggeveen]

...this is the point at which someone usually says, 'No, it's the E.232B model that was made in Romania and called a Sznuj', but assuming I'm right, can I post anything?

No. 'Upload of file failed' - and I wanted to get an early night & finish off my 900 page Dreadnought book! Will just read through that stuff about how to get round recent problems here...

Hope to post something soon

[Ralf Roggeveen]

Just gonna try using ImageShack...

[Ralf Roggeveen]

Elle marche! OK, no need to i/d that one, it was just THE BE-ALL AND END-ALL OF FRENCH AVIATION. (Let's hope it was the right mess he flew into.)

Here's my actual mystery for you:



I'm sure someone will get it on the waking-up side of the planet. Off to

You pegged it Ralf. Well done!

Ahhh, the Sznuj, now there's an aircraft..............

I think Ralf's wee mono is a Sopwith Scooter.

[Ralf Roggeveen]

to lefty! Well, it lasted the night. The Scooter was a one-off Camel monoplane built for Harry Hawker, and very nice it was too!

Sorry about delay in replying, just got back from work.

[lefty]

Thanks Ralf. (Work, eh ? Hmmm, I remember that. )

Just for a change, not a floater. This one's a slider....

[jhefner]

That looks like a Fairchild 82, but fitted with an inline engine instead of the usual P&W Wasp.

If it is a Fairchild 82, you can have it on floats as well.

[lefty]

James, this is indeed a version of the Fairchild 82, but this had its own designation and indeed, name. No prizes until you get them !
