Hi Carlo
Not a Zlin, sorry
She's a Hungarian girl - all red boots and petticoats.... the Pajtás trainer MPB-1 by Lampich (HA-BAA)
(Note to Moderators - editing function not working properly!)
Hi Mike
That is her . I have seen her also described as D-20 and MBP-01.
Please introduce us to one of your other girls
It is becoming very difficult to find something that will last more then ten minutes here...The combined knowledge of our regulars is formidable.
Here's one that I think has not appeared here before, and which is a good-looking machine......although the tail looks a bit of an afterthought
This is a Nennig C5....It is becoming very difficult to find something that will last more then ten minutes here...

I'd say a Nuvoli N.5T from Carlo's homeland.
...and that's exactly what she is (I-COLB)...your turn Moses

Thanks Carlo.
This one is a bit of a chameleon which I don't think has appeared previously.
Hmm, anonymity indeed. Lots of Caudron in wings and tail, but suspect it is a lot more obscure than that. Looks European ?
Well Mike, your Caudron thought is reasonable.
This bomber/fighter (they could not make up their mind I guess), had several engine options. In this case an inline Fiat.
couldn't it then be the #99 in the Caudron series? i.e. the Caudron C.99

It could! A refreshment for gXand over to you.
(Lefty gets a shot of whiskey for sniffing out the make.
Well I just added one and one (to yield 99)
Let's try this if you don't mind

If I were ever able to get into AviaFrance again.....
Gx - where did you find the C.99 ?????
And what do you call this new one ? A semi-bi-sesqui-triplane ???
Hello Giru!couldn't it then be the #99 in the Caudron series? i.e. the Caudron C.99
would you mind telling me (us) where I could find some information About the Caudron C99? AFAIK no information over the net or Aviafrance.
Thanks
Cheers!

Sacrilege! Why must they try to gild the lily? Compton MacKenzie must be turning in his grave (I hope that he wasn't cremated). It demonstrates the intellectual poverty of the film industry that they have to 'remake', rather than re-release, such films. What next? A 'remake' of Kind Hearts & Coronets ? Will they never learn? Usually they spend a fortune on these 'remakes', only to see them 'bomb'.........but today I was away to the movies - the remake of 'Whisky Galore' - one of the great Scottish tales.......
Sorry, gentlemen. Rant over. Back to the aeroplanes ......
Edit: Compton MacKenzie was buried on Barra - so I suspect that he's spinning!
It appears that there's a good deal on the C.99 online - in Flight, Les Ailes and l'Aerophile. The latter has a photograph of it (q,v. http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6554816n/f412).
Two more from l'aerophile about the Caudron, the first is probably Kevin's source

Nice picture, Uli
Caudron C.99
The Caudron C.99 was a two-bay biplane designed as an A2 (army co-operation/light bombing ) type. Janes 1925 reported that it had unequal span wings with the top wing being longer than the lower wing. Construction was entirely of wood. The engine mounts were made up of steel rods which supported two wooded cross braces. The metal mounting bars attached to the fuselage spars. This arrange- ment permitted a variety of motors to be fitted. Contemporary French litera- ture shows a 300-hp Fiat A-12 engine being placed, but Janes 1925 reports that the C.99 displayed at the Salon had a 450-hp Hispano-Suiza engine. The Fiat was allegedly chosen because a Balkan state reportedly had a number of these engines in storage and needed an airframe to utilise them. A Chausson radiator was placed in the nose of the aircraft, beneath the engine. Defensive armament consisted of a synchronised Vickers machine gun fitted in the nose and fired by the pilot, a ventral Vickers machine gun firing through a tunnel in the bootom of the fuselage, and two Vickers machine guns on a ring mount first by the observer. There was a TSF unit and a cam- era for vertical or oblique photography. Offensive armament consisted of up to 120 kg of bombs (usually twelve 10 kg bombs) fitted to racks underneath the wings.The eventual fate of the C.99 is not known, but given the fact that no military orders were forthcoming (despite the clever engine option), it is likely that only the single machine was built.
