'Tis a Super Stranraer (re-engined with Cyclones by the Canadians)
Carry on, chaps.........
Piece of cake for the floatmaster.
Looks like another open board. Fire at will...
I'll bite - I'll be out of town until Sat. night so if this is identified - carry on!
And he dives off for a weekend of hedonism leaving us with the grottiest possible picture of a low-wing two-seat open cockpit trainer.
Can't be many of those around, then..................
Has a German feel. Maybe 1933-34ish?
Better go find my white flag just in case...
Greetings from Purdue University - well Moses, slightly earlier than 32 (not 100% sure though). Geography is very close as well. You guys spend another day digging - if you're stumped I'll post the answer tomorrow evening. I admit there isn't much that distinguishes this bird from any of 1000 others.
Well, I'm going to assume we're either stumped or just not interested enough in this genre. Like I said these types were a dime a dozen back in the 30's. Our mystery was the St. Hubert 135.BO
Okay, I get the feeling we need something different. This one is from a very well known manufacturer - I believe it's the only known photograph of it though. The manufacturer shouldn't be too hard to determine given the numerous identifying characteristics visible.
Well the differences between the various SPAD models were not huge, and this delightfully hazy pic doesn't help much ! I'll have a stab at the SPAD 5, if only because I can't find a photo of it......
And the torch is passed to Lefty with the Spad 5.Perhaps it's time for me to take a break from the Hazy, Grainy, and slightly out of focus rarities. :mixedsmi: Over to you sir.
Note: Just for the record, the Spad 5 was the prototype of the production 7's, and can be distinguished by it's short individual exhaust stacks and a smaller windscreen than early production 7's.
The SPAD 5 prototype originally had a large spinner a la Fw190, which ain't on this one, but I think they binned it. As for the windscreen, er, I canna see one at a' !!
Here's a wee floater, or more correctly a wheelie-floater (amphibian to you lot)
Attachment 794
(doubtless Moses will claim I've posted it before, but now he can't prove it !)
I'm off curling in Aberdeen all day, so keep it flowing, chaps !
Haven't a clue. USA? Russian?
European.
Nearly KO'ed by a PZL-12!
The usual Polished performance by Moses.........
The clue helped. Was stuck in a mental rut.
Here is an obvious one. Or is it?
Zenith Albatross Z.12. Open board (if correct, of course)
Well, since it IS open board...... hehehe.
I'll bless you all with another nice black & white photo, this time IN FOCUS, with MINIMAL GRAIN and good contrast. (somewhat out of character for me lately)
This time a sesquiplane with what appears to be a couple dozen squadron insignias painted on the side.
Minimal grain? Wow!
This one made an appearance once before. I shall recluse myself from it.
If it has been posted then we'll try something else. You guys have been at this forum far longer than I, ang I don't want to be the one to repeat entries.
This one been posted?
Caramba ! The Tequila Special got whipped away from under our noses - well I've managed to ID its neebor, as we call them here. It's the Packard-Le Pere LUSAC-11.
Yes, far too easy.
I'm thinking this wee wheely-floater has been posted before, but can't find it in this thread, so we'll give it another airing.
Moses will doubtless do the honourable thing......
