The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Amiot 370?

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Amiot 370 built for the race Paris - New York.

Over to you, Kevin

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Robert.

Sorry busy with work today. I can post a new one but it will be this evening.

If someone wants to jump in be my guest.

 

[Moses03]

Sorry for the delay.

Onward with a sporting type.

 

[fabulousfour]

I think this is the Loving-Wayne WR-3.

 

[Moses03]

And back to Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Here is another two-seat monoplane.

 

[giruXX]

I am pretty sure that this is another variant of the BFW M 23 by Willy Messerschmitt

 

[fabulousfour]

Not built by BFW or Messerschmitt, Uli.

 

[lefty]

That is an I.C.A.R. Universal from , Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

To be exact it is an ICAR Universal Biloc (=two-seater), the version with a Gipsy Major.
The photo was taken in South Africa when three aircraft of this type made a long distance flight from Bucharest to Cape Town and back.

Over to you, Mike

 

[lefty]

Those cute little side windows triggered it, Robert..

Here's something without much in the way of windows - not difficult, but new here, I think - nice streamlining ruined by that clunky radiator !

(someone has done the early equivalent of Photoshop to remove the barrel holding the tail up !)

 

[giruXX]

Something must have gone wrong with this model. The wing is much too low.

 

[pomme homme]

Ah, but it was intended to be flown inverted, Uli, so that it fitted in with the 'house' design style! It is, of course, the sole M.S.325 - with its inverted parasol wing.

 

[lefty]

Well at least they tried to get out of the rut !

Over to Texas although I know Uli knew it..

 

[fabulousfour]

I didn't know that Texas is a part of France now.

 

[pomme homme]

The wee laddie clearly is having a difficult day!

 

[Moses03]

I wouldn't mind a little Parisian influence in these parts.

 

[pomme homme]

But you've got Paris, Texas, in Lamar County. Is it not influential enough? It even gave its name to a film!

 

[lefty]

Great film, too, Ry Cooder soundtrack. Sorry, fellows, distracted again.

Having a battle with a mail order company. The Boss's phone blew up,and I ordered a replacement for 24 hr delivery. Package arrived, obviously not a phone - it was a steam cleaner.
Hours of phoning later, they agree to uplift the item. Forms to fill in - why was I disappointed with the phone ? 'Stuck the nozzle in my ear but still couldn't get a signal'

24 hours later, still no sign of a phone on its way. Grrrrr.....

Carry on, chaps, please, while I wait for sanity to re-emerge...I am still wondering why in my local pub, I can have a meal inside, but no alcohol. Outside, I can have a drink, but no meal. Aaaaaaargh
