The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Moses03. French yes, postwar almost. This design was known under two designations.
Unfortunately have no better picture in my files, but will give you a link
(after someone guessed it)

Edit: Okay, maybe a Bloch MB 800?

This looks like your drawing: http://www.dassault-aviation.com/en/...b-800.html?L=1

Correct Moses03. One aircraft and three designations. MB-800P was the first and also SO-80 and SO-800P seen. S.A. des Avions Marcel Bloch was nationalized in 1936 and became SNCASO (hence change to SO-80/SO-800P) and of course Marcel Bloch changed his name to Marcel Dassault after WW2.
You already found two sites and www.airwar.ru/enc/cww2/mb800.html has a colour drawing. Text is in Russian.
I never new there were in fact 3 designs of Bloch which were known as MB-800 (see the english language version of the dasault site).

Gets confusing at times with all the nationalized designations.

Next up, a flying boat of size-

I shall leave you two to wallow in the delights of French aviation - I'm off to for ten days.

Whilst you are agonising over sesquiplanes and close-cowled nacelles, I shall be gazing on the wonders of Petra, that 'rose-red city, half as old as time.'

Just hope I don't fall off the camel.......But my Indiana Jones hat should save me.

See y'all later

Have a safe trip Mike. Watch out for those grumpy camels.

Enjoy yourself Mike, and bring back some photo's!

[Ferry_vO]

Just a wild guess: Wibault 240?

[lefty]

You can't expect me to leave with a floater up for grabs !

It's a Tupolev Ant-27.

[Moses03]

Lefty of course grabs the Russian.

[lefty]

I am tempted to leave a stinker but won't be around to see the results !

Therefore, an easy one - if you get it, please carry on.

TEMCO Aircraft Model 58 of 1954

Twin tailboom type.

Forget this one!. Wrong picture giving the answer. But I guess interesting anyway.

This is the real picture.

[Moses03]

I know I have this picture somewhere. Thinking USA mid 1950's...
