Hmmm, looks French - Couzinet/Dewoitine-y - W engine - Lorraine? Farman ? Renault ? Isotta ?
You are on the right track. Those are Hispano-Suiza engines.
Edit: Couple of hints; it was in service with Air France briefly and went through many modifications.
It was the Couzinet 70 Arc en Ciel, after one site refers to as 'horribles modifications' at the behest of Air France.
This one was actually the Couzinet 71 N6. Close enough for this mess. Why did they move the oil coolers to the outside? :isadizzy:
Fire away Lefty-
Thank you, Kevin.
Time for a floater.
Looks like one from the USA. Not sure though.
It is an American production.
This your bird? An Ireland P-3B? Or maybe just a P-3?
You got it - it is the P-3, although by that time (1932) Ireland Aircraft had changed its name to Amphibions Inc. Yuk ! Over to you.
Thanks for the lunch hour brewski.
Here is a nice easy one-
Some kind of Hawker hotspur variant ?
Hawker Henley?
Henley it is. In this case as a test bed for the Rolls-Royce Griffon.
Over to you Naki-
Here a nice looking machine...
Instituto Aerotécnica I.Ae.30 Namcu from Argentina ?
That didnt take long..yep its the IAe.30 ..Merlin powered
One without engines, also known as glider! It was used in the development of a powered aircraft.
It makes me remenber a german project, but can't put a name on it, I might be totaly wrong as well...
Strong hints of the SE-5000 Baroudeur, but I can find no mention of a glider..
Lefty bingo!. This thing was indeed used to test the skid undercarriage of the SE-5000.
You are the captain for the next flight
