Spot on, Kevin - I thought the lack of cowl might throw you.....
Yes, the Meridionali/I.M.A.M Ro30, although in the Jane's of the time they were called 'Romeo'.

As a new arrival, I just thought that I'd say hello to you gentlemen. I'm looking forward to being able to identify one of your fiendishly difficult mystery aircraft and then posting something that might have you scratching your heads!

Welcome, pomme homme ! We try to vary the 'fiendish' machines to suit everybody, and always welcome new blood, so don't be intimidated !
Quite often the regulars get sidetracked elsewhere and will declare an 'OH' or Open House, and then you can dive in with one of your own - we look forward to seeing your posts
Right....the missing cowling and the two bladed prop did throw me off!Originally Posted by lefty

Bloch MB500

Wow BG ,that was fast! Better have a double!
Yeah, still here mate - lurking. Tough quiz and I think, country wise, I must be sleeping when the action happens!
The Bloch - the endplates are well hidden by the angle of the shot in your photo? Haven't heard of that one before, nice one!
Cheers!
Thanks for the double Moses!Wow BG ,that was fast! Better have a double!

BG

Wow that was quick Lefty let mepay you a!
Your turn to surprise us Sir....
BG
Here's a trimotor with a hole in the middle.....
I think I found your hole lefty, so to speak.

You found it indeed, Mr Green ! Well spotted - over to you
You alluded to time zones in a previous post - I take it you are west of the Atlantic - we have contributors from all over and it seems to even itself out.
Thanks very much lefty! I'll pass on the drink though - past history of alcohol abuse. I'll try that full frontal approach, but go with Tiny-pic as I had too much trouble with the attachment process this morning....
Cheers.
A tiny bit too cryptic for me, Mr. Green......maybe a clue or two?
BG
Sure, not a problem.
Based on a racer and you'll find it illustrated in Aerofiles.
Looks a lot like the Hughes H1 which it isn't I know, but who copied it to some extent I have no idea.
Bit more help please for me.......
Keith
Sure thing. Maybe another photo would help? This time from the rear...
The second shot has a Seversky feel to it.
Pratt & Whitney powered?
Hello Moses.
It does indeed, but no involvement as far as I know.
Correct. Here's a side line-drawing to get a better idea of the shape.
I think that this is the Hawks (Miller) HM-1 (some sources call it the HM-2), which was developed from Howard Miller's 'Time Flies' racer by MAC as a two seat fighter.
Very well done sir!
The canvas is yours!
Cheers!
Thank you, Green.
By way of an inaugural offering, maybe the following will be of interest. I hope that it hasn't been used before. But with such a venerable thread, it's not practicable to check to see!
I have a bottle of my own eau de vie de prune mirabelle uncorked and ready for a correct identification!
Maybe we should have a wee tasting.........
