• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I do know, or at least have the info, but sitting here in my water-borne hotel on the left bank of the Seine :france:, I don't have access to le bibliotheque so we must await...
 
It is an Anson. Some wacky Canadian pilot got a little careless.

:icon29:Suds for Lefty.

And there was me thinking that it was the rare Sea Anson, with the outboard wings folded oh so snugly that you wouldn't know that they were there!
 
Rob obviously using the Seine excuse to obscure the fact that he was the miscreant pilot......:applause:

Here's a jazzy little number, not difficult but fun..

Indeed, Ferry, this was the 'Mystery Ship' acquired by the Italian government for reasons best known to themselves! :very_drunk:
 
Time for a new one, now that our 'King's day' is almost over. (Not that is was a great day to celebrate, with snow, hail, rain and temperature no higher than 8 degrees...) :

Thanks Ferry:encouragement:
Against the (forum) rules, but this one is rare, I think.
She was completed, but not flown. The company stopped the development and decided to acquire a licence for a more conventional type of which it built a small number, with a different name.

If it helps... I could not find her on Google. Maybe my search qualifications are below par.
Btw, she is German

Musee de l'Air, Le Bourget, Paris.
It was a good, quick visit but with perhaps a couple of mystery aircraft after I edit to add grain and age (hehe)

Is that a tailfin of the Moynet Jupiter I spy stage right? If so, I'm glad that it's on display again. Maybe one day I'll see it alongside the Angers M.360-6.
