    Sneaky one, BG ! You know floaters are my 'thing', but I don't want to hog them all, so we'll see how many other flying boat fans are out there........

  10. #9685
    Where's Rob? Hmm.

    RCAF Vickers Vancouver II methinks.

  11. #9686
    Yes, I thought that would smoke Rob out too. However he's posting away on Newshawks so that's good news....

    I would never have thought of looking at Vickers aircraft, let alone the RCAF!

    Walter- I had this as something else (probably mislabeled), but I'm sure you are correct so enough said!

    Over to you.

  17. #9692
    I'll bet you had it as the MB.320 ?

    Hi Kevin
    Don`t start re-labelling your pics yet, Mike is right with the Macchi MB-320. SFCA acquired a production
    licence, but never produced aircraft. Understand that at one time 3 examples were on the French register as SFCA Vema 51.

    Please have a go a this one. Sorry for the grainy pic.

    Is this an elusive photo of a Fournier RF-1? Elusive to me anyway!
    Keith

  20. #9695
    Yup, was the MB.320. I tried to figure it all out but got tired-head and called it a night.

  21. #9696
    Thought so.

    Anyway Walter's motoglider isn't a Fournier, Keith. Its the SOKO SL-40 Liska prototype from what used to be called Yugoslavia*.. Stumbled on it by sheer luck.

    (*It was from Mostar, which I think is now in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I'll stick to Yugoslavia.)

    Hi Mike
    Excellent research and thank you for the pic!
    Btw, at our age it is not sheer luck, but called sheer expertise

    Your turn, please

  23. #9698
    Thanks Walter, but it was luck in this case !

    Here's a nice floater - with its minder.

    I've never seen this floater but the more I look at it the more I would say a Vickers Type 130/146 "Vivid" on floaters.....

    Vivid indeed - BG on the ball yet again.......


    That float strut setup just doesn't look right at all......
