Hi Robert - I think that is the Latécoère 296 ?
Hi Robert - I think that is the Latécoère 296 ?
Indeed, Mike, it is the Latécoère 296 on wheels, probably on its first flight.
Became a floater later on.
Over to Scotland
Thanks Robert - quite obscure that one.
Here's a handsome floater, all spruced up but missing its nacelles. Had an interesting history too..........
One of Chris' famously minimalist answers ! The Nanok indeed - my little clue of the stout glass referred to the fact that it became the private 'air yacht' of the Honourable Arthur Guinness !
After 3.5 years on 402 will be flying Swearingen Merlin next week. Nice to have press./autopilot/heat/turbine again.
This aircraft has had it's brothers in here before
Chris
Hmm, yes. The CNNA HL-6B Cauré from .
Thnk you Chris
A parasol again - with connections..
Why did they go with the trolley wheels?
A Sparra only needed little wheels if it was the Mk. II designed to campaign for Supermarine at Lympne in 1926!
Indeed, a Supermarine that was neither a floater or a fighter - the wee Sparrow.
Over to France, I think -
Charles De Rouge elytroplan - is it the Sigma ?

Hi Mike, the Botali-Mandelli effort of 1933 I believe.
My source has it as the 1933 Botali-Mandelli biplan léger (the one of which I couldn't find a photograph in 2015!) rather than the Effort . But as it's clear that you know this one, Kevin, over to Texas we go.
Is this a Tupolev of sorts ?
Not Russian Mike. Few built in the early 1930s.
Don't let the flashy paint scheme and angular nose throw you. From a well-known company.
I thought Russian at first looked there nothing. Then remembered where to look.
Atlantic/Fokker O-27
