• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Ambrosini F.7 Rondone? Horizontal stab is too high up on the tail though for the F.7. MUST....identify....before....Wout....arrives.....
 
Yeeehaw indeed.

This the LAR GR.2?

I have the same photo but can't quite read the reg correctly to crosscheck it.
 
One of the first aircraft books I bought as a callow youth was Green & Pollinger's 'World's Fighting Planes' which was arranged alphabetically by country of origin, then manufacturer. I still have it.

The very last entry in the book is, naturally Yugoslavian - all Aero or Ikarus except this one, the Kurir. A bit like a Storch that someone has sat upon.
 
I can count on one hand the number of 4 engine 4 bay equal span land biplanes which have been built.....

On the other hand.....we have this beast. My gut feeling is that Mr. Sikorsky may have had a hand in this. The Ilya Mourometz family seems a likely fit, however all but one variant were unequal span, and the one which had (almost) equal span didn't have a nose like that. So, back to square one.
 
On right track, Kevin. I thought one or two of you might have picked up on the very obvious kepis in the second pic.

However, this one does not appear in many of the normal reference sources, so I don't think you're going to get it. Simply described as the Blériot Four Engine Bomber, it was an enlarged version of their Type 53. Anzani 10A4's they were indeed.

Incidentally, it did fly but was not adopted by the military.

Something of a later era..
