The Berca JB-3 from Argentina?
The Berca JB-3 from Argentina?
Hi fabolousfour
That is her! Very nice research/investigation/spying work. Care to share how you found LV-X198?
Hi Walter.
When you wrote that the picture is from a site which is no longer available I was quite sure that you meant the site of Grupo Aracuan.
I have the archived site where the types and their registrations are available, however no photos.
Googling for photos of the types gave a hit for the Berca at this site
Next mystery is a bit older.
It is the Villiers 24!
The first French military aircraft with slats.
Over to Scotland.
Thank you Robert, and sorry Carlo !
It's ages since we had a floater......
Saro A.17? Maybe the one with the single Lynx engine.
That's the one - the sole single-engined Cutty Sark. Over to Texas
Thanks Mike. Going to the floater well one more time with this pointy chap.
That's the Shoemaker #3 Flying Boat.
Boom! The other shoe has dropped. Suds for the Scotsman.
Thanks Kevin.
Been watching the World Cup Final - congratulations to France, who deserved it, even if they were playing with twelve men.....
I've checked and can't find this large lady having been posted before - (she looks blowsy enough to be French, but isn't !)
I won't contribute yet. I'm not exactly unbiased. But who was the twelfth man?
That is a very nice picture of the Pacific Hawk, predecessor of the Timm Skylark.
Is that a Curtiss Eagle in the background?
Robert, it is the Pacific Hawk indeed.
Mike, the refereeing decisions leading to the first two French goals were diabolical ! All the (neutral) pundits agree on that one......
Try as we might, we just can't seem to get excited by football over here. Maybe if the USA had qualified? Dunno...
I did attend a World Cup game in 1994, watching Spain take on South Korea. Enjoyed the match actually.
Re: Hawk
That is a nice photo! We had an interesting discussion on the Hawk some time ago. Unfortunately the original poster's picture is missing. (Although a partial crop of it appears further on).

Regarding the Hawk I would assume that it was really underpowered with just two 90 hp engines for such a big plane.
Must have been a much better performer with the Liberties...
Here is a mystery biplane much smaller in size
Whilst I'd beg to differ - and might counter with some points concerning the decision to award the free kick which led to the first Croatian goal - I'm cognisant of the fact that this is the Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread and not the Ongoing Mystery Refereeing Decision Thread. And there's also the fact that I am feeling a little delicate - if I might put it that way - this morning .....
Thank you for asking to get back to topic! much appreciated.
Point taken , sir ! PH and I will continue this debate via PM's ! ......and I promise not to have a go at South African rugby either......woops!
Meanwhile, I haven't a clue about Robert's diddy biplane obviously filched from a funfair -don't think I would fit in anyway....
Mike, it flew away from a merry-go-round and the cops in the background are just questioning the kid.
Just joking...
According to one source this tiny biplane was outstandingly successful, as a racer it couldn't be beaten in any race where it participated!
The biplane was powered by a British engine which was popular for light aircraft in those days.
However, the plane is not from the UK.
