The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Ralf Roggeveen]

Resembles the Jugoslav Stankov 215 prototype, but may be French?

[Moses03]

Not French. This one crashed during flight trials and the project was abandoned.

[Moses03]

Was fitted with two Alfa Romeo III engines...

[lefty]

Sorry, chaps, been diverted since the hols - domestic & garden duties !

This is a Bestetti-Colombo C.3, methinks.

[lefty]

If Moses will allow ( I am right on this one) we'll move on to another slightly earlier model...

[Moses03]

FMA Ae.T.1?


Right-o on the Bestetti. Wartime effort of 1943.

[lefty]

And good with the Argentinian too, Kevin.

[Moses03]

Was decent of you to leave the roundels showing, otherwise I might have wandered off into France to start.

I will return the favor except that the markings are obviously second-hand...

[lefty]

Bloch MB 178 ?

[Moses03]

A cold one to Lefty for the "Blosh".

The pic was identified as a Bloch MB 177 but there is also documentation of a 178 prototype having been captured by the Germans so I think Lefty is correct here. Seems to be spotty info on these two.

[lefty]

Things were a bit messy then, I fear.

Here's an easy one to get some Friday night browsers stirred into action

[wout]

Arsenal 0-101 of 1947. Avion Laboratoire

[lefty]

Fire away, Wout.

[wout]

Back to the twins

[lefty]

Dear dear, something assembled out of the spare parts bin. Never seen this one before. I think the pilot chappie forgot to wind up the elastic on the port engine.
