Anybody would like to try this?
BG
Well I'll try again:
I think it's the C.M.A.S.A. G.8
Definitely time for another floater.....
Sneaky one, BG ! You know floaters are my 'thing', but I don't want to hog them all, so we'll see how many other flying boat fans are out there........
Where's Rob? Hmm.
RCAF Vickers Vancouver II methinks.
Yes, I thought that would smoke Rob out too. However he's posting away on Newshawks so that's good news....
I would never have thought of looking at Vickers aircraft, let alone the RCAF!
Keith
Not sure about a surprise with this tired looking twin...
Hi Kevin !
Are you able to cope with the heat??
Do you accept an alias for this one?

Walter- I had this as something else (probably mislabeled), but I'm sure you are correct so enough said!
Over to you.
I'll bet you had it as the MB.320 ?
Hi Kevin
Don`t start re-labelling your pics yet, Mike is right with the Macchi MB-320. SFCA acquired a production
licence, but never produced aircraft. Understand that at one time 3 examples were on the French register as SFCA Vema 51.
Please have a go a this one. Sorry for the grainy pic.
Is this an elusive photo of a Fournier RF-1? Elusive to me anyway!
Keith
Yup, was the MB.320. I tried to figure it all out but got tired-head and called it a night.
Thought so.
Anyway Walter's motoglider isn't a Fournier, Keith. Its the SOKO SL-40 Liska prototype from what used to be called Yugoslavia*.. Stumbled on it by sheer luck.
(*It was from Mostar, which I think is now in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I'll stick to Yugoslavia.)

Hi Mike
Excellent research and thank you for the pic!
Btw, at our age it is not sheer luck, but called sheer expertise
Your turn, please
Thanks Walter, but it was luck in this case !
Here's a nice floater - with its minder.
Vivid indeed - BG on the ball yet again.......
That float strut setup just doesn't look right at all......
