    Not French as well, Mike. Think more southern and remember my first clue.

    From a well known manufacturer which is better known for his 4-wheel products nowadays.

  2. #17352
    Fiat AS-1 I believe.

  3. #17353
    It is the Fiat, Kevin!

    Must have been one of the rare aircraft with a cabin.

    Passing the baton over the big pond.

    Thanks. It looked like the Elias EC-1 so I spent too much time looking for it over here. Argh.

    A crafty little number-

    Gentlemen
    Thisis the Nikitin NV-1 of 1933 engine M-11 (only one built)
    Cheers

    ...and this repays me for stupidly ignoring the early FIAT!....

    It really annoyed me because it was so familiar. I knew it was hanging there in the dark recesses. I actually put it on the list of "someday I'll post this" several eons ago, but it also has appeared here twice in varying forms before Green's offering. The first time was way back (?) in Feb. 2009 - a first posting of a challenge by someone going by the name of "wout". Powerplants have differed but the airframe is constant.

    BTW, a slightly earlier post (#1200) is rather entertaining, considering where we are these days

    Hee, hee, hee!

    As post #1 indicates only that non-unusual/non-historically significant gliders are interdit, where does one find the subsequent amendments to the rules?

  16. #17366
    Kevin, the barrack-room lawyers are at it again !

    The whole philosophy behind that early guidance from our Texan maestro was that a quiz consisting of fresh-out-of-the-wrapper machines, or endless Piper clones, would be (a) boring, and (b) rather against the ethos of a forum which is, after all, called 'Historical Wings Society'. Trouble is, all of you young whippersnappers are just too damn GOOD !! Therefore to find something that hasn't been posted before is almost impossible, resulting in the 'rules' being applied very liberally !

    Those of us for whom interesting aircraft were not built after 1950, (and popular music after 1980!) will just have to accept that standards, as in all of modern life, have crumbled. O tempora, o mores....

    (By the way that 'newbie', wout, for whom I have the utmost respect, thinks quite differently. And why not ? He probably likes hip-hop music too...... Eh, Walter ??)

  17. #17367
    Crikey, soon we'll be having images declared ultra vires !

  18. #17368
    You guys are funny, and Lefty has pretty much summed it up for our current state of affairs.

    Thanks Green for the nod. Onward with a trimotor.


  19. #17369
    Would a Caproni Ca.101 be a too simple guess?

  20. #17370
    Not a Caproni Richard, sorry. It is European though.

  21. #17371
    Don't think it's a Caproni, Robert. Could this be the elusive Curtis Wright C.W.5, by any chance ??

    Woops! just seen Kevin's post -that blows the C.W.5 out of the water.......

  22. #17372
    Ah, the Romano R.60.

    By the way, it's Robert, not Richard.

  23. #17373
    Sorry Robert! Ack, must be the heat.

    It is the Romano (without cowling and pants no less). Seen it also designated the R.6.

  24. #17374
    No problem at all, Kevin, my grey cells aren't working properly as well sometimes.

    This one shouldn't bother you too much.
