Thanks BG.
A floater...
Thanks BG.
A floater...
This looks like a Wout special...
Hi Mr. Green, Hi Kevin
The first of (at least) 2 flying boats by Peter D, van Dine and named Merganser. No.1 (N5001S) had fins placed as in picrture and no.2 (N4699X) featured canted wingtip endplates doubling as rudders. A third example (N8033E) is described as resembling the Lake La-4 so that would look much different. All composite construction for all 3.
Very nicely done Wout - over to you sir.
This twin boom pusher canard is very new!
Please disregard what is written on the forward fuselage.
How odd , I was only looking at this kite yesterday in my search for the previous query!
Its the Commuter Craft Innovator, N157AR. Intended to be a kit plane I believe.

Hi Keith
That is the one. I understand the company is also working on a roadable variant with foldable wings and named Innovator R.
Your turn, please!
Bit back in time this one, just hope its not been seen before, or for some time at least.
Keith
Ah, another canard pusher! This is the Pons or Morel Canard of 1911. Powered by a Anzani 60hp radial. The wing struts doubled as rudders.
Well done Moses, there's not much about it on the net that I've found though.
Your turn.
Keith
Thanks Keith. Here is a little about it: http://flyingmachines.ru/Site2/Crafts/Craft29399.htm
Moving along with a float plane-
Unless I'm mistaken, this is the Romano R.3 (in which case this is its third appearance in this forum ! Nice photo, though...and you can never have too many floaters !)
I'll get my coat ......
Well, it must be because there are too many floataholics out there crying: 'Romano, Romano! Wherefore art thou, Romano?'!
It is the Romano.
No apology necessary, dear boy. I'm probably about to do the same - continuing the nautical theme.......
This one has not appeared before. Those cowlings look very Caudrony so I'm having a go at the float version of the Caudron C.39?
'Caudrony' indeed. 10/10 for Texas -
Mystery prototype taking to the air. Might want to hurry before Pomme Homme starts quoting more Shakespeare!
(Sorry for the poor photo).
It's that Calvados, you know. Has that effect on some people..........after a dram or two, I've been known to launch into Tam O' Shanter......Originally Posted by Moses03

I've just realised my error in abusing Shakespeare. I should, of course, have resorted to the work of another poet. That would have been far more appropriate having regard to the fact that it was his day yesterday. But having searched through his works, I've found nothing that even approximates to Romano. I could have tried the addition of a Mc prefix. But that would have been more McGonagall than Burns. Oh, and we did have home made haggis for supper, but it had to be washed down with home made mirabelle plum eau de vie (Calvados - a spirit from too far north for us down here in Deux Sèvres) due to a lack of Laphroaig in the cellar!
Shakespeare aside, this sleek monoplane set several records in 1938. Then the war came along...
(I think a couple of you are being a bit modest here).
This one looks to me like a Amiot 370....
Cheers

The beautiful shiny 370 it is.
Thanks Moses a beautiful craft was the 370!The beautiful shiny 370 it is.
And here goes another floater (sorry for the grainy pic!).....
Cheers
