The one and only, F-APOZ. Take it away, Uli!

**giruXX** · March 11th, 2021, 21:54

Thank you Mike!

Should be easy:

**giruXX** · March 12th, 2021, 07:59

from a well-known European company

**cthornburg** · March 12th, 2021, 19:21

Fokker S.IV

That's the Bird

**cthornburg** · March 13th, 2021, 01:53

Not in Aerofiles

Chris

**cthornburg** · March 14th, 2021, 08:45

Chris

**cthornburg** · March 14th, 2021, 22:14

Chris, this is new to me, and I can find nothing about it on the net. (or anywhere else for that matter !)

It looks like it has Curtiss JN-4 roots, and Spain had a few of those - is it a mod ?

**giruXX** · March 14th, 2021, 23:58

@lefty: there is a note in "Aviones Espanoles del siglo XX"

Sousa Mixto
Biplano biplaza de reconocimiento, con motor Hispano de 180 HP, fue diseñado por D. Luis Sousa Peco y construido en los Talleres de Aviación Militar en Cuatro Vientos. Aproximadamente una decena prestaron servicio en Marruecos en 1919-1920.

Thanks, Uli, for that link.
The older I get, it seems, the less I know !

**giruXX** · March 15th, 2021, 02:16

definitely not, Mike!!

I'd like to close the door with this

***srgalahad*** · March 15th, 2021, 07:20

Had to work backward on this. It looked remarkably like the interior of the Tillamook Air Museum... hmm, what do they have new since my last visit... aha!
Cvjetkovic CA-65 Skyfly

There's an entry in Wikipedia w/photo, no pic on the museum website.
OK, am I weird because I recognize walls of a building I haven't seen in years?

(Not my photo) https://th.bing.com/th/id/R8e5eecfe39c92e17c7156070077dc319?rik=sA%2fPJFW1PV 9uLg&riu=http%3a%2f%2fblog.goodsam.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2019%2f05%2fRallis-Tribe-Tillamook-2_web.jpg&ehk=VHfYwTPVEruA%2fp%2bNpIFop2vmQ7ej081Z w2MxCKNIE%2fw%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw

BTW, the museum website is not great but a Google/Bing image search will show how impressive the building is!

As today is the spousal b'day and thus have things to attend to, I'll open the door again

**fabulousfour** · March 15th, 2021, 07:20

Uli, is that a Cvjetkovic CA-65?

Edit: srgalahad was faster, shouldn't have written so much.

@lefty and all: A bit more about the Sousa Mixto with Chris' picture can be found in this pdf (in Spanish) on page 33 (longer download):

nice detective work srgalahad

(it looks as if my mystery were specifically designed for you)

thanks also to Robert

Open Door again

**fabulousfour** · March 15th, 2021, 10:12

Ok, let's try these biplanes.

**fabulousfour** · March 16th, 2021, 00:03

First flight end of WW1 but too late to see action. 20 aircraft were built.

**giruXX** · March 16th, 2021, 04:33

time for a cigar or two, Robert ??

**fabulousfour** · March 16th, 2021, 04:52

Strictly no smoking on board, Uli.

**lefty** · March 16th, 2021, 08:00

My cigars were always Villigers (

) - that takes me back a bit !

**fabulousfour** · March 16th, 2021, 09:54

After the war most of the planes were sold to a neighbor country where they were flown until 1927.

The (European) founder of the company is legendary and associated by most people with his large passenger transporters.
