on the Albert.

From the steamer trunk...

Not the easiest of angles, Kevin. Any more pics ?

[Moses03]

I realize the angle is bad. Might be the only photo of this fighter prototype. Will see if I can find another shot.

Edit: Rear view of the 2nd prototype. Re-engined, re-propped (3-bladed), partial retracting gear.

[DHC2Pilot]

A Fiat creation perhaps?

[Moses03]

Not a Fiat.

[lefty]

It's MM249, the first prototype Breda Ba 64.

Looks like they pinched a prop from an old SE5A to begin with.......

[Moses03]

That is it.

[lefty]

Here's an aggy that doesn't look like all the rest....

[wout]

Hi Mike,
yours is not a Texas Aggie (sorry Kevin), but from Italy
The FL-53 by Meteor SpA which company later became I.I.I. (Initiative Industrali Italiane, still producing the Arrow high wing 2-seater).

If correct OH please

[lefty]

The Dutch Eagle swoops mercilessly............... .........although I could be picky - Jane's has the agricultural version of the FL53 listed as the FL55

[Moses03]

Okay, here is an interesting one. Sorry about the "stylized" photo. All that exists for it I think.


Edit: Found a better photo.

[DHC2Pilot]

Junkers J.15. If correct, OH please.

[Moses03]

Spot on John. Note the roots at the bottom of the fuselage where the wings used to be attached. A one-off experiment.

[lefty]

Think John must be off doing his Christmas shopping - or else he's under eight feet of snow, judging by the reports we're getting here........

Hope he doesn't mind if I nip in with this little trainer.
