    Thanks G - I didn't get the model right, but as you say it had been mucked about a bit - the 'crashed' one in particular looks very slab-sided....... What those movie-makers get up to, eh ?

    Here's another trainer from a different part of the world - this might keep you all quiet for a wee while.

    This might be a MsRE Banhidi Gerle 12 engined with a Thorotzkay or a M.Weiss SPIII....

    Nothing like a bit of provocation, it seems...so much for keeping you all quiet.

    BG is obviously partial to the Gerles - over to Italy !

    Looks like something from the PZL line. Maybe the P.8?

    Is that supposed to be the Goodyear Duck GA1?

    It has the looks of an early Thurston design, but cannot find it or the tail number....?NC23170?
    Franklin or Lycoming engine?
    Keith

    Funny, I didn't notice the faint tail number until you mentioned it Keith!

    Not a Thurston or Goodyear effort but it is powered by a Franklin.

    Hi Moses.

    From the USA? Illustrated in Aerofiles?

  12. #10462
    Listed in Aerofiles but no photo...

  13. #10463
    This water baby is from post-war New York - Ken Bunyard's BAX-3.

    I have permission from Moses to proceed, so here's a light aircraft for you -

    I will need a clue or two as my usual source cannot find it through a Pobjoy, or a parasol link. It's also got a distinctive undercart & a wierd seating arrangement by the looks of things. ? European?
    Keith

  15. #10465
    It is indeed European..and, yes, unmistakeably a Pobjoy motor.

  16. #10466
    I believe we are looking at a pobjoy powered Letov S-39. Edit: Maybe the 139?

    You are spot-on, Kevin, although your photo confuses me !

    My mystery was OK-VOV, the Letov S-139, a Pobjoy-engined machine. I have OK-ELM as the Letov 239, with a Walter Minor engine, and have a photo of same (see below) They must have retrospectively re-engined it. (although the bicycle wheels look earlier !)

    (for good measure I've also included the S-39, with the Walter Polaris engine)

    Anyway, the beer goes to Texas !

    Thanks Lefty.

    Here is one that didn't see production-

    Spot on Green. I thought she had a Waco look to her.

    Over to you.

    Thanks Moses. Initially I was thinking Seversky...

    Here's another floater...


  22. #10472
    Martin B-10 or B-12A ? I think some of each were converted to floatplanes...

  23. #10473
    I have pix's of the YB-10, YB-12 and B-12A on floats. Can't seems to find enough difference from pixs to figure out which one. Martin was my first thought.

    That's fine mate!

    A B-12 at Manhattan's 31st St. seaplane anchorage on the East River.

  25. #10475
    Thanks, G - I reckoned that could only be one location !

    Here's a long, lean machine with some bits attached.....
