The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

I have a trimotor-

[fasm]

it looks like a four engines excepeted if one is dead

[lefty]

Yes, that was confusing me a bit too.......

[Moses03]

Gosh! My mistake. It is a 4-engine ship.

[lefty]

Looks like it's been hastily assembled and held together by duct tape.

Wheels pinched from a hospital trolley, too..........

[Moses03]

Not too many push me pull me airliners. Should narrow the field down quite a bit...

[Moses03]

There were three versions of this airliner/transport. From a well known company.

[Moses03]

Figured someone would check the Dornier lineage at some point. This is a Do K2.

*Open Board*

[lefty]

Never even got around to thinkig European ! (Incidentally my Dornier tome shows the K2 with 4-blade props on the tractor engines)

Here's a natty little chap...

[Moses03]

Interesting ship. Looks like one of those French capital letter builds.

[lefty]

Good going so far. BIG hint - the first capital is an 'S' !

[fasm]

That was my first reaction this morning to scan the 's' but without success. After a second try (reading you) this evening I focused on the SNCASO 3050. The only photo I have is from the back and don't show the wood armature behind the cockpit... but everything else looks quite similar

[lefty]

everything else looks quite similar

Apart, of course, from the fact that this one has a tricycle undercarriage.......

(The SNCASO 3050 just featured in another site yesterday !)

Propulseur by Regnier.......

[wout]

Looks like the SETCA Milan from France. Flown 1947, type certificate 1952, but no production.
Always wondered what SETCA stood for

if correct OH please

[fasm]

Yes the undercariage... I'm interested in the other site where they talk about it !

So a new mystery, white as snow, will he resist very long ?...
