Medium twin, for a change. Should be easy:gossip:
CASA 202B it is!
Resembles the Jugoslav Stankov 215 prototype, but may be French?

Not French. This one crashed during flight trials and the project was abandoned.
Was fitted with two Alfa Romeo III engines...
Sorry, chaps, been diverted since the hols - domestic & garden duties !
This is a Bestetti-Colombo C.3, methinks.
If Moses will allow ( I am right on this one) we'll move on to another slightly earlier model...
FMA Ae.T.1?
Right-o on the Bestetti. Wartime effort of 1943.
And good with the Argentinian too, Kevin.
Was decent of you to leave the roundels showing, otherwise I might have wandered off into France to start.
I will return the favor except that the markings are obviously second-hand...
A cold one to Lefty for the "Blosh".
The pic was identified as a Bloch MB 177 but there is also documentation of a 178 prototype having been captured by the Germans so I think Lefty is correct here. Seems to be spotty info on these two.
Things were a bit messy then, I fear.
Here's an easy one to get some Friday night browsers stirred into action
Arsenal 0-101 of 1947. Avion Laboratoire
Back to the twins
Dear dear, something assembled out of the spare parts bin. Never seen this one before. I think the pilot chappie forgot to wind up the elastic on the port engine.
White flag goes up here. I think only a lucky troll of aerofiles would turn this one up!
:friday:
Looks a bit like a Riley Twin Navion. might be the same trick of converting a single-prop into a twin? Probably a one-off. Maybe French?

It is US made. And for sure, lots of headroom in he cabin. A final hint...
think of a streamlined cabin and a longer nose.
Thought of those sort of things already! Some kind of Beechcraft or Cessna? It's the tail that really worries me...

It is the Courier of the Monocoupe Aircraft of Florida company (formed in 1946 and successor to the original Monocoupe Aircraft).
Built around 1950. Further development (why should that be?) resulted in the
Meteor 2 and finally to the 1960 Meteor II of Saturn Aircraft & Engineering, Inc. (it was reworked by Mr. C.G. Taylor, yes the one of the Taylor Cub, Piper Cub). Attached A picture of the Meteor II just to see how a design can evolve.
