The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Interesting run of small helos there.


This one was unknown to me until recently. A small twin.

I have in my files two very similar items: one is the Lascurain "Celia" the other is the Lascurain (y Salinas) "Sport"....something to do with your mystery?

Obscure model but the smallish company is well known.

BG- Not a Latin effort but I can see a rough connection with the Lascurain designs.

This should help. Powered by two CNA D.4 engines.

Hi Moses!
It could easily be a product of the Compagnia Nazionale Aeronautica most of which are still obscure: after years of research I was able to gather only five different models but I know Others were built!
Therefore I'm mostly interested in getting this mystery solved!

Yes, Italy! Not a CNA build except for the engines. The designer's previous side by side cockpit 1936 low wing trainer was more known.

Maybe Laboratorio Artigianale Aeronautico? In 1940 they built a small twin engined Touring Aircraft having a vague resemblance to your mysterious item...

Inspired guess BG but not of the LAA firm.

Okay, this one is obscure with only a couple of mentions on the net that I could track down! It's the Lombardi L.4 or AVIA-Lombardi L.4.

Attached the original photo.



Moving along, here is one that is not as obscure...

And amazing ales.......the Peetermans SAE.2 Dragged there screaming and kicking.

(Actually the Marinavia looked quite similar - in 3-view anyway!)

Hang on, I thought Texas was a tundra in winter. What about those Jimmy Stewart movies, diggin' the dogies out of 10-foot drifts???

Anyway, here's a very easy wee runabout, just to see if you're all awake.
 
Thank you, lefty. I have to be quick off the mark when an easy one comes up. I haven't the breadth and depth of knowledge, that the rest of you have, to enable me to identify most of the others!

Well, to move on - here's a little light entertainment.
