On the appropriate Wikipedia site, 'Caproni Ca120' is wondrously rendered by Google Translate as 'approximately 120 goats'.

If that is what Wiki says it is, who is to argue?

***Moses03*** · February 26th, 2012, 11:33

Ca.120 it is!

**DHC2Pilot** · February 26th, 2012, 14:21

I'm tied up for a bit.....floor is open for anyone wishing to post. Also, does anyone know what year the CA.120 first flew? I'm guessing around '35, but I'd like to know the correct year if possible. :mixedsmi:

**lefty** · February 27th, 2012, 00:45

Looks like we can tell when it last flew........

Oh dear, one of those Russian designation horrors !

The Semenov/Syemyenov or Polikarpov PM-1, or P-2, built by the Aviachim de Moscow, Aircraft Plant No 1. Flown by Chebanov. Cigarettes by Sobranie.....

...............& vodka by Smirnoff - but for you

**lefty** · February 29th, 2012, 00:50

Thank you sir. Here's a gloomy, grainy, grim little three-seater..

***Moses03*** · March 1st, 2012, 04:49

It looks like a French build with those crooked wings. Must be pre 1946, otherwise Wout would have showed up by now.

**lefty** · March 1st, 2012, 06:21

European, but not French. First flight 1949, so Wout must be elsewhere ! Busy fending off those stroppy persons in another forum, methinks, but I don't go there any more......

The prototype of this machine is apparently under restoration.

Hi Mike :salute:
I was hiding `cause I dunno.
The only one I can think of is the Lombardi LM-7, but the u/c seems different.

**lefty** · March 1st, 2012, 08:13

Well you thought correctly, Walter, the LM-7 it is !

**wout** · March 1st, 2012, 10:09

Sorry for this one.
It is not a true homebuilt, not from USA and must be the last in flying condition (almost).
I did not remove registration marks, because there were none when picture was taken.
Use your imagination and see what you can recognize.

**wout** · March 1st, 2012, 16:35

From another angle. The main u/c units are very similar to those of the original (limited production).

**wout** · March 2nd, 2012, 04:12

it is an Aero HC-102 with modifications to forward fuselage/cabin and tail. Check the u/c.
Open House, please

**wout** · March 4th, 2012, 07:35

notacessna and it has emigrated since.

***Moses03*** · March 5th, 2012, 04:48

From South America Walter? Brazil maybe?

**wout** · March 5th, 2012, 05:35

Hi Kevin :salute:
this non-Cessna is from the USA and had to learn to fly upside-down

**lefty** · March 5th, 2012, 05:57

Barr Barr Six ? Which, if it is N83W, is no more !

**wout** · March 5th, 2012, 10:00

Hi Mike :salute:
the Barr Six it is!
Last I read is that the design was sold to Australia to become the Morrison Aircraft Company Model 6, but cannot find it on the net under Morrison. Do you know more?
