Was the Gribovskii sourced out of Putnam's?

More easy...

Found it on a Russian aviation site. No mention of it at all in Putnam's Soviet Aircraft and Aviation 1917-1941.

Here's the Gribovskii from the Gunston tome..

and Hurricane's Mossie clone is, of course, the I.Ae. 24 Calquin.

[wout]

I think the twin is an I.Ae.24 Calquin from Argentina.

[Hurricane91]

You are both right, it is an I.Ae.24. Honours go to Lefty as the first poster.
(or a marzen if you like)

The Gribovskii is a trim little ship. Thanks for posting the photo Lefty.

[lefty]

Thanks you. Have to confess to having to look up marzen, with which I wasn't familiar. (what?, I hear you cry, an old soak like lefty doesn't know his drinks??). I was always in Germany later in the year, around Oktober time. More of that another time........

What it this camouflaged oddball, please ?

One I can actually recognise!
Miles 'Gillette' Falcon - test a/c for the Miles M52 wing. Apparently the wing leading edges were razor sharp!

I need to track down an affordable copy of Gunston's Russian book. The pic that Lefty posted got me all excited. Great stuff!

[lefty]

to Dev One for the Falcon with the tattie-slicing wings.

Kevin, I actually have two copies of Gunston's book - I was keeping one for a rainy day, but it probably would cost a small fortune to get it to you anyway.

I'll keep my eyes open - nothing is moving on the Bay at all over here - from memory the last Russian Aircraft went for a relatively small amount.

[Moses03]

Rgr on small fortune. Thanks for keeping an eye open.

With Keith going AWOL, declaring open house-

Maybe I've just been holding this one in reserve for so long that I THOUGHT it had been posted before..

but anyway, it's the Allied A2 of 1948

[Dev One]

Sorry about being AWOL, but unfortunately have nothing to offer thats not ridicoulously easy.....
