    Hi Moses.
    Immediate thought was something from Junkers. Googled and Wikied and found a plastic model kit of a Junkers W34 Hau. A version I haven't seen before. Looks very similar?

    I was not sure the exact designation but the Hau seems to fit the bill. Back to Green.

    Might be a Roc, but I think it's probably a Blackburn Skua.

    By the way, the Junkers W.34 hau had the 322hp Bramo motor. Distinguished by the vorneliegendem Auspuff-Sammlerring, as I'm sure you all knew (Front horizontal exhaust collector ring !)

    Thanks, G.

    They hauled a Skua out of a fjord a few years ago, but haven't heard much about it recently.

    Here's one for our grainy trimotor experts....

    This one hails from a state that has it all. Note the palm tree in the background...

    Another brew for Green. Well done Sir.


    (Anyone know what the larger plane is in the far background? Looks like a Stout of some sort to me).

    I'm still trying to figure out if I'm seeing a tail wheel under the starboard elevator??

    It seems to have come round again, I think it's the Ford Stout Dragonfly.

    Thank you Green, I expect though that this one has been through the system also, but here's hoping...

    Hello Keith!
    This is the original version (with tandem engines) of the Chicago-Midwest X101 (but I think she was posted long time ago)
    Cheers

    BG: Yes thats the one & yes I think we are getting to the recycling stage after all these years. Still its great fun for us that have either a bad memory or (as in my case) less experience in recognition.
    She must have been quite a pig to handle when opening or closing the throttles.....
    A liquid offering for you

    Agreed Keith on the handling!

    It does not bother me when planes reappear. My memory starts to fade anyways and sometimes, new photos surface of previously obscure aircraft.

    Thanks Keith and thanks Moses for the nice additional pic!
    Unfortunately I cannot upload an image right now because the Tinypic site is closed for maintenance ( a pity because I had a very interesting offer)....
    If someone would like to step in....

    Images, I just use the attachments management system here (you can usually see it below this box when replying) without having to go through an intermediary.
