Thank you Mike. Think the present temperatures are very well suited for a heated argument on the correct designation. My (old) notes say that I.A.46X-1 was an alternative designation for the ag-plane Ranquel (but supposedly with the 150hp rather than 180hp engine). However, since so much nonsense on the Ranquel is on the net, I don`t believe myself any longer :mix-smi:
Next challenge will follow shortly.
The next one. Attachment 90414

PS Would it be possible to have the undoctored picture?
Hi Baragouin :salute:
We have a winner! The RO-2 from Romania
Hope you like these pics (found the on the net).
Regards, Walter
Thanks Wout!
Here's my offer
Cheers
Is this the National S-125? I have this photo in my archives labeled as such but I have no other info on it. Looks like a Menasco engine.
No entry at Aerofiles, yet it looks very close to the Jones S-125.
On this page the same plane is called the Jones S-125.

Yessir you're right.
The company that manufactured this bird had the bombastic name of "National Motor" and the Aircraft was designed S125, year was 1936. The craft was fitted with National (sic) engine 115HP and was registered in the USA as X18300.
I'm afraid that's all the information I can pass over to you.
Now please surprise all of us with a very very rare uncommon unspecified bird.....
Cheers
BG
Thanks.
You know how much I like twin boom pushers.
Ahhh, a true Moses special - and another one without any RMP ! (Recognisable Means of Propulsion)
Those gentlemen look a tad, er, swarthy ???
There is a small common pusher engine back there as this particular view blocks it out. (Have not been able to unearth another photo yet).
This was a late 1930's design. Powered by a Continental initially, it might have had a Franklin later on.
Might be the Payne MC-7, then ?
No Payne, no gain. That is the one Sir.
Here's an easy one - bit of an oddball, though
Ouch!
Nieuport perhaps? Never seen this one before.
It's from this side of the Pond, but, although it looks it, it isn't French !
Bristol Bullfinch in biplane mode.
I thought it looked familiar having had at one time a book on Bristol aircraft - my son now has it somewhere.
If correct OH please....as have nothing to offer at the moment

Yes, Keith, that's the one.
I'll take up the reins in the hope that following wasn't edited yetYes, Keith, that's the one.
Cheers

Looks like a Eastern Europe refugee.
My thoughts too - I've managed (I think) to rule out Czechoslovakia.....
I suggest you look into Maria Walwska's country.......
BG
If she had a radial up front I'd say it's a PWS-6, but I know not if they built a version with an inline.
Now that Maria has pointed the direction, I think we are looking at a Bartel M.6a/II (according to Putnam anyways, page 369 of Polish craft).
And you're also pointing in the right direction Moses!
Your turn to surprise us....
