Sud S.O.6000 Triton
Exactly. The first French jet. Take it away, Chris!
I think this is the SCIM Can 2 from
Here we go with a rather nice looking airliner.
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.
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?

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
We had that one just a few days ago, Mike.
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!
Well let's stick to twins.....this one IS nice 'n easy !
It is the natty SIPA. Over to you, Kevin
Thanks Mike.
Keeping the twin theme going.
The PZL P-38 Wilk, perhaps?

Thanks for the clue, Uli. Caspar CT.1 ?
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 ?
Location was the Italian Air Force Museum at Vigna di Valle. I reckon the basic machine is a Fiat, but which ?
