The undoubted masters of style, the Italians.

Great cars, great architecture, great art, great music.

But their beer's crap.........

22 hours idle... must be spring - or blizzards - or...

Well, I'll toss this one down the tube to see if anyone's awake. I'd not be surprised to see it's landed here before.

Is is from San Diego?

***lefty*** · February 9th, 2011, 15:38

No, Salinas........

Consolidated model 39 Libertyliner AKA Convair 104 (XR2Y-1)? Two prototypes built. First flight 1944, both scrapped in 1945.

If I somehow flubbed that one up, put me in my place. Otherwise we'll press on with this:

***lefty*** · February 9th, 2011, 23:05

No flubbing at all, dear boy - it was up for grabs...

And I'll grab this wee Romanian, the Ifil-Reghin RG-6, methinks ?

**DHC2Pilot** · February 10th, 2011, 07:23

RG-6 it is.

**DHC2Pilot** · February 10th, 2011, 15:02

I actually have it as the Novitchi RG-6. Was Novitchi the designer or the manufacturer?

***lefty*** · February 10th, 2011, 15:35

HAFC.

Anyway, I have to declare OH - been curling, and no time to look out a horror.

The opposition tonight was skipped by an Olympic gold medallist from 2002 - the result was sadly predictable......

***Moses03*** · February 10th, 2011, 15:52

Searched the RG-6 and found that Novitchi was the designer?

And now for something completely different...

Hi Kevin,

pity this nice plane did not progress beyond the prototype stage.
The Gulfstream American (AJI) Hustler 400

snow and ice gone together with the Packers/Steelers?

***Moses03*** · February 10th, 2011, 19:05

Spot on Walter.

Yup, the winter stuff is about gone, just cold now.

***wout*** · February 11th, 2011, 05:57

Sorry it is a light plane again.
Forerunner of a production plane (with of course a different name/designation).
The cabin area and vertical tail could give some clues.

It is the PM.1 which was an advanced design for it's day. The aircraft was designed by the students at Politecnico di Milano and built by C.N.A. Later developed into the postwar MB.308.
