That's the one, BG -or Caudron-Viscaya, as it is sometimes referred to.
Pierre de Viscaya interests me - quoted as the designer - but all I can find out about him is that he was a famous Bugatti race driver. Is it the same guy ?
Strange that the Bugatti connection often crops up in aircraft ( like the Bugatti-de Monge machine).
Could find nothing on Pierre Mike, as far as his aviation interests anyways. Interesting connection there.
GOOD EVENING BOYS AND GIRLS!
Here's my tonight offer which is an easy one: what is this brute?
Cheers
BG
I have it as the ANT-42/TB-7 prototype. So is this Tupolev or Petlyakov? Typical Russian confusion.
Nice pic here.
Hi Moses I have the same confusion ANT42/TB7 but don't try to understand soviet style numbers.......Originally Posted by Moses03
Your turn please
BG
Here is an interesting one...
Morning all
ANT-42 ? TB-7 ? Surely the Pe-8 !Designed by A.N.Tupolev, delegated to the Petlyakov bureau for ongoing development (presumably Tupolev had too many other things going on......) Think TB-7 was probably the Air Force designation.
Anyway Moses' grainy warrior is the Finnish-built Fokker D XXI which had a locally-designed retractable gear fitted by Valmet. It unfortunately displayed an alarming tendency to collapse at the crucial moment, and was a wee bit expensive, so was abandoned. The angles look all wrong anyway..
There were apparently two aircraft thus modified - FR-117, a Dutch-built Mercury-engined machine, and FR-167, a locally-built model with Twin Wasp.
Lefty has scored a direct hit on the Fokker (you can see the hole between the cockpit and cowling!).
Well done Sir.
Here's a real grainy horror..
Huh? Lefty has mistakenly posted a photo from a 1950's sci-fi movie!
I bet the designers had to come up with a new name after they discovered that the 'Mosquito' was taken!

Hi Mike
This beauty is the Rohr M.O.1 (nickname Midnight Oiler).
It evolved into the even prettier M.R.1
I thought that might tempt you out of your lair, Walter !Rohr it is - not too many photos of this rare one...
Please try this one
It looks verty much like the Feigl&Rotter Feiro "Daru" (H-MAFA) a hungarian Aircraft of 1924 (a very nice pic indeed!)....Please try this one
Cheers

Talking about oldies here's a neat photo of a very old and rare Aircraft (and its crew)....
Cheers
BG
Struggling a bit here, BG. Obviously looks like an Italian reg, but that could be a red herring.....
Thought it might be Lombarda, but the now thinking perhaps Pomilio ? Looks like a special machine for a record attempt ?
I'm afraid you're barking the wrong tree Lefty.
I'll give you a small but important clue the first registration letter isn't an I but a L
Cheers
BG
Dohhh, basic mistake yet again !
Well, that means it must be an Aero 14 Brandenburg - funnily enough there are a few photos of these gentlemen on the net - sitting in L-BARI (must be a sister ship of this, because I don't think that's an 'I' at the end.)
And an Aero A14 it is indeed!
Your turn Lefty
BG
Here are some more gentlemen, this time in front of a big floater....
The big Italian brute is the Bastianelli P.R.B. of 1921. It reportedly flew well but did not enter production.
Moses knows his Bastianellis....
Seems to be a very large gap between upper and lower wings - I wonder if there is an optimum figure for this ?
