    I can see why, BG, but it isn't a Boulton-Paul !

    Ain't that the truth! Not enjoying this at all. Windows 8.1 is pushing my patience. (Have to stay ahead of the curve I guess).


    Can't pass up the one and only De Havilland DH.72.

    That's the one, Kevin, designed to the same spec as the Boulton Paul, hence the similarity.

    Well you must be doing something right - you got something posted ! I never bothered with Win 8 - couldn't see the point if you don't have touch screen, and I'm not really comfortable with those. I have great difficulty trying to navigate around my Android tablet - must be the elderly fingers losing it. Although mercifully I can still hold down a chord on the Gibson.........

    Over to you sir - hope the vaults are still accessible in the new machine !

    Hope they give you a cheap upgrade to Win 9 !

    Vaults are accessible.


    Here is a tired looking twin that hasn't been blown up yet...

    It looks very French with this gondola, however the building doesn't......

    Is it the not so famous Hanriot NC.510?

    Cheers,
    Huub

  9. #9334
    That is correct Huub.

    It could also be a SNCAC NC.510 as it was built in 1938 after the nationalization.

    Over to you.

    I hope this beauty hasn't been here before. A clue already, it isn't Dutch



    Success,

    Huub

    Not getting much of a "vibe" from this one. Maybe Belgian?

  13. #9338
    That's what I thought too, but getting nowhere, and what you can see of the number confuses me. Is that a Renard engine ??

    It is not Belgian. Those who know me, know I have a soft spot for the aircraft used by the bad guys.

    The engine is not Renard, but providing you the engine manufacturer would make it too easy.

    Thought the engine might be a Genet, but google doesnt list a suitable airframe, which might be Japanese?

    Sorry, the pilot may look a bit Asian, but the aircraft isn't. That should help you as this limits the possible countries of origin.
    Another small hint: The aircraft was registered in April 1929 and destroyed in July 1932 . Personally I don't think this information is very useful, but you never know.

    Cheers,
    Huub

    I will go to bed soon. When there is still no answer tomorrow morning (my time) I will provide name of the engine manufacturer.

    Hopefully you won't have sleepless nights,

    I believe we have a Focke-Wulf S 24 here.

    Well done! It is indeed a Focke-Wulf S24 (registration D-1607)

    The S24 was an acrobatic plane powerd by a humble Siemens & Halske Sh 13 engine with less than 80 hp. It had foldable wings and was designed to be towed by a car. The weight was only 365 kg (800 pounds) and only 32 were buit.

    There at least one still flying, however with a different engine.

    The stage is yours!
