Sud S.O.6000 Triton

**pomme homme** · May 22nd, 2021, 10:00

Exactly. The first French jet. Take it away, Chris!

**cthornburg** · May 22nd, 2021, 14:36

A little earlier product

Chris

**fabulousfour** · May 23rd, 2021, 01:17

I think this is the SCIM Can 2 from

**cthornburg** · May 23rd, 2021, 03:32

That's the one over to Germany

Chris

**fabulousfour** · May 23rd, 2021, 05:29

Here we go with a rather nice looking airliner.

**pomme homme** · May 23rd, 2021, 05:38

Can you please, Robert and Chris, let me know the source of the photograph and/or your information concerning the SCIM Can 2? Whilst I do not pretend to an encyclopaedic knowledge of French aircraft, neither that aeroplane, nor the company which produced it, are known to me.

**fabulousfour** · May 23rd, 2021, 05:44

Mike, I found the SCIM at airwar.ru when searching for French aircraft year by year:

There is some information in English at:

Thank you, Robert. A google search threw up neither of those two links, so I am grateful to you for them. Nor did I find anything about this aeroplane when searching through the pre-war aeronautical journals available via the gallica (BnF) website - although this may be due to my failure to use the correct full stops in the aeroplane designation.

p.s. is your rather nice looking airliner the Savoia-Marchetti S.84?

**fabulousfour** · May 23rd, 2021, 10:21

It is the single Savoia-Marchetti S.84!

I became aware of that type only last week when I found that photo by coincidence. Looks really good!

Over to you, Mike

**pomme homme** · May 23rd, 2021, 22:52

Thank you, again, Robert.

Here's something with the same number of engines but somewhat lighter and later.

**fabulousfour** · May 24th, 2021, 01:10

We had that one just a few days ago, Mike.

**pomme homme** · May 24th, 2021, 02:42

You are right, of course, Robert. Mea culpa. I had convinced myselfthat post #22993 was an earlier aeroplane - but I didn't bother to check before posting the image this morning. I should have done. Had I done so, that image wouldn't have been posted. I think that a declaration of 'open house' is the best way forward from here!

**lefty** · May 24th, 2021, 05:57

Well let's stick to twins.....this one IS nice 'n easy !

***Moses03*** · May 24th, 2021, 07:05

Must be the SIPA S-1100.

**lefty** · May 24th, 2021, 08:04

It is the natty SIPA. Over to you, Kevin

***Moses03*** · May 24th, 2021, 09:16

Thanks Mike.

Keeping the twin theme going.

**giruXX** · May 24th, 2021, 11:00

The PZL P-38 Wilk, perhaps?

***Moses03*** · May 24th, 2021, 12:53

Yeppers!

**giruXX** · May 24th, 2021, 23:53

here is a racy number

**giruXX** · May 25th, 2021, 22:00

powered by a Daimler D I, two seats

**lefty** · May 25th, 2021, 22:33

Thanks for the clue, Uli. Caspar CT.1 ?

**giruXX** · May 26th, 2021, 03:22

That's the bird, Mike

**lefty** · May 26th, 2021, 04:38

Something a wee bit different - spending a bit of time on Google Earth, I found this outside a European air museum. Are those canards ? What is it ?

**lefty** · May 26th, 2021, 13:35

Location was the Italian Air Force Museum at Vigna di Valle. I reckon the basic machine is a Fiat, but which ?
