Don't be so negative, dear boy - it hasn't beaten you at all ! The one and only Levasseur PL.11 R3b. (I believe this means 'Reconnaissance, triplace, de bord' )

***Moses03*** · August 2nd, 2015, 15:43

Didn't think I was in the ballpark.

Putting some pants on...

**dan_pub** · August 2nd, 2015, 23:55

Looks very Dewoitine-ish.
But I don't have my doc with me today to properly research it.

**lefty** · August 3rd, 2015, 00:12

Looks like a Hispano-Suiza. Could this be the Wibault 366 ?

***Moses03*** · August 3rd, 2015, 03:43

Lefty is on with the Wibault. Good show.

And back to Scotland-

**lefty** · August 3rd, 2015, 07:07

Thank you sir. This wee chap's got breeks too ! (trousers to you....)

**pomme homme** · August 3rd, 2015, 07:47

Is that a Niagara I see before me?

**lefty** · August 3rd, 2015, 07:50

Unmistakeably so....

BG, your knowledge of Iberian exotica has stood you in good stead ! Over to sunny Tuscany - hope you have recovered from all those nubile bodies on the beach....have a Nastro Azzuro to cool down...

**zswobbie1** · August 3rd, 2015, 22:26

The rare blue bodied Swan, with added multi-pneumatic upgrades?

**Baragouin** · August 4th, 2015, 05:37

Thanks very much Lefty for the nice pic!
Now since it is just too hot to ponder over some semi-unknown exotic item let me propose an easy one as follows.....
BG

**pomme homme** · August 4th, 2015, 06:40

Morane-Saulnier M.S.130?

Yes Pomme-Homme that's what it is, the MS130 indeed....your turn please and have an ice-cold refreshing beer

BG

**pomme homme** · August 4th, 2015, 09:51

Thank you, BG. However I'll pop that beer in the fridge as I've just poured myself a glass of cider.

As you say, BG, it's too hot to tax the brain. So I'll follow suit and offer something that shouldn't be mentally taxing to the intellectual giants that lurk hereabouts!

**lefty** · August 4th, 2015, 21:11

That is the B.A. Cupid, methinks. 'Intellectual giants' ? I hae ma doots, laddie..........

**pomme homme** · August 4th, 2015, 23:02

You thinks correctly, sirrah. And if it wasn't for the hour of the morning, I'd take Baragouin's cold beer out of the fridge and offer it to you. But instead, I'll pass the bâton to you.

**lefty** · August 5th, 2015, 00:35

Thanks, PH - sadly, I'd probably prefer a mug of Bovril today - it's ruddy cold here. I think Scotland has separated in literal terms, and is now drifting towards the Arctic Circle.......

Here's a bunch of floaters - please name the one in the foreground.

It looks like a Latham 47 but a few things don't match
BG

***Moses03*** · August 5th, 2015, 04:07

And I was going to say a Latham 45. Like BG though, not sure.

**lefty** · August 5th, 2015, 04:16

Going to give this one to Moses, BG.

Quite a few differences - principally a much more complex nose section on the 47, and smooth cowlings for the Farman motors as opposed to the exposed Gnome-Rhones on the 45.

How stupid of me! I had in the same file as the Latham 47 also the Latham 45 which I simply overlooked. Anyway congratulations to Moses and for the splendid pic of the Latham 47 (mine are mostly grainy)
Cheers

Somewhere Claude Dornier is smiling. This is not a Dornier designed aeroplane though...

Hi Kevin

A bushplane with two 115hp (each) Rotaxusses. First flown March 2010 (N989LW) and named DoubleEnder. Early pics show it as an orange, but in your pics it has more suitable Piper yellow
painted parts, cause it was built from a PA-18 Super Cub.
Is it still N989LW in yellow or is there now a second one?
