You have it correct BG over to you.

Thanks Dev One! and now here's my today's proposal: what is this small tourer?
Cheers
BG

[lefty]

This looks like a Sablier design, BG. S 12 ??

Sorry Lefty that's not the one....try further east...

I think a further important clue is in order: an important city in Romania has the same name of this small tourer....
BG

[lefty]

There is only one important city in Romania...........

[Dev One]

Nope....completely lost......Taken by a vampire (Transylvanian type) no doubt!!
Keith

[Baragouin]

Well at this stage I think I am going to reveal the name of my mysterious tourer which is the: Dumbrava Iasi 1 (built in Romania in 1939 and powered by a 40hp Salmson). At least one pic ( the one I posted) is available on the net.
Open house for me now boys and girls!
Cheers

This floater was NOT built by the undead...

[Dev One]

I'm still trying to figure out if its French........not found it if it is, so tomorrow will try looking elsewhere......
Keith

[Moses03]

My gut reaction is something from the UK. Not confident at all.

[lefty]

From a company more renowned for larger machines.....

[Baragouin]

This floater was NOT built by the undead...

Hello there!
It reminds me of an early Short floater....but too many things do not match....
BG

[lefty]

Hmm, didn't think this one would stick - here's the wheelie version -

[Dev One]

Nope...I surrender....again! Cannot find a two seater single bay bipe...I shall probably kick myself when answer published!
Keith

[Moses03]

The land version looks French to me.

[Motormouse]

Handley-Page HP14 ?

Pete

[lefty]

At last ! Pete has it - the Handley Page R200 or H.P.14 Over to Motormouseland, wherever that is ??

[Motormouse]

Over to Motormouseland, wherever that is ??

Not far from where this was built.....

Should be pretty easy

Pete

[Moses03]

Looks to be the Saunders Kittiwake.

[Dev One]

Back to the HP14......of course one company not looked at.......senility.....
Keith

[Motormouse]

Indeed, only one ever built Moses' turn...

[Moses03]

Thanks Pete. Moving along with a twin.

Keith

Ditto Keith!

[lefty]

That's a Fiat G.18 - her stubby nose very distinctive. Was a bit confused by the markings but they must be the Co-Belligerent Air Force ?

If you look closely you can see how the white Cross of Savoia on the rudder has been painted over.

(spent a bit of time looking at the very similar Bloch 220, but French girls all have pointy noses....... )
