    Ambrosini SS.4?

  3. #21903
    The same - only flew once, killing the pilot I believe ....

    Over to you

    Thank you, Jim.

    I believe that the SS.4 was flown twice, both by the same pilot. Apparently he enjoyed the first flight so much that he wanted a second - which was that in the course of which it crashed, killing him.

    Now here's something less than sleek. We haven't had a motorglider for some time. This is an early example.

    A DFS "Motorzögling" perhaps ?

    I can see from where you're coming, Uli. I doubt that there was a country in Europe that didn't produce a Zögling type glider in the twenties. I don't know if DFS produced a 'motorzögling' glider but, it it did, this is not it. This originated in a different European country and was the handiwork of someone who shared a name with a better known, and more prolific, constructor in a yet another European country!

    How about Ansaldo Fabi 1934 then?

    Spot on, Uli . Jose Maria Ansaldo designed and built it in Madrid and powered it with a 600 cc Douglas motor. Take it away.

    I have something less grainy (and hence easier?)

    It reminds me of a Monnett Sonnerai, but it has too many non-common aspects to be so, I fear!

    Thanks Uli - running out of time tonight, so please excuse a recycling job - it's all the rage !

    This rather smooth twin has been here twice before, but quite a few years ago, with a big gap in between.

    That, Mike, is the Simmering-Graz-Pauker (what a name!) SGP M.222 Flamingo V3 from

  16. #21916
    That's her, Robert - - that old girl would be 60 now - if she is still around ?

  17. #21917
    Thanks, Mike, I fear all the Flamingos were scrapped after the program was terminated.

    Here is something even more modern and in colour.
