    I would say Lefty has it...although his clue gave me the Bristol bit....the Berkeley by Bristol.

    How about this grainy flying boat that has not appeared here before.


  9. #16984
    Mill Basin Super Gull ?

  10. #16985
    Not from the USA Mike.

  11. #16986
    That's what happens when you draw rash conclusions - dohhhhh..... it's a LeO, of which there were several variations on this theme - how about the H.192 ?

  12. #16987
    So close but not quite there...

    I'm pretty sure she is the LeO H194...probably the one which flew to Madagascar...

    In all fairness I think the reward should go to Lefty as he did most of the job anyway may I submit to your attention this very nice "limousine" of the thirties...and now "dodo" time...

    Carlo, please continue - I have nothing prepared at the moment and have been pretty busy today which explains why I didn't do the homework on this one ! There are so many almost identical models in the LeO book, differing mostly in engine specifications, and I plumped for the wrong one !
    (Here's a less grainy photo if anyone is interested - in the meantime over to Italia !)

    Hi Robert!
    Yes she's the Mickelson Э-23 (E-23) and in my opinion a splendid "limousine" rarely seen in the USSR of the thirties!
    Your turn please and if I may take the liberty NOT ​a US taildragger!
    Cheers
    Carlo




  24. #16999
    Thanks, Carlo.

    You don't like US-taildragger? Your wish is my command.
