The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Just a bracing dip - these guys are tough..

Come on, fellows - BG was very, very close (but not correct!)
 
OK, everyone seems to have gone off in the huff. It's the MF 9, which was a single-seater- this one with the Bristol Jupiter engine. Sorry if that seems pedantic.

Over to Tuscany :icon29:
 
Thanks Lefty very interesting challenge and pic!
May I declare open board? Last night I stupidily slipped on the wet floor of my sitting room and my poor buttocks are full of bruises (in a short while I must go to hospital to have X rays just to make sure that there's nothing important broken)....
Cheers
BG
 
Ouch ! Sounds painful - we won't ask why the floor was wet.....hope it's not worse than bruising !

I've had to give up my curling because of the increasing risk of falling on the ice, which is very unforgiving.
 
Sorry to hear of your plight BG, hope all is OK with you.
Here is a little something for you to maybe check out your memory!
 
Thanks Keith. Maybe pass along a drink to BG and his bum bum.

What is this?

Thanks guys my bum-bum is better and there's nothing broken (thanks God no ostheoporosis!)
Could it be a Bloch MB60 (or 61)?
BG
 
Not a Blosh or a Romano. This one is a bit more off the beaten path.

BTW- This is the one photo I have of the Romano R-6.
 
Had a look at that one but don't think it's right, BG. There were a posse of trimotor designs around that time - nearest I could find was an Avia design project that I don't think was built..

What is curious is the presence of what appear to be Wehrmacht troops - where in 1937 ?
 
The LH.70 is real close design-wise but this one is not French, although the designer lived in Paris for several months prior to the build. The trimotor was scrapped soon after the photo was taken. Not an Avia project either.

It was designed as an airliner but the Germans thought it was a heavy bomber (bad information)! Not sure on the Wehrmacht soldiers.
 
Pending Moses confirmation I would say that yours was a real stroke of Genius Lefty!I bet we all were struggling amongst french rarities and the truth was somewhere else.....
Well let me say to my discharge that I only have in my (very modest) archive two extremely bad photos of PZL4 (one a front view the other a three quarter back view) which would make a match practically impossible!
BTW do you have a fair photo of the above?
Cheers
BG

PS Sorry Moses I didn't mean to intrude....
 
Google 'PZL.4' and click 'Images' and you'll see a few, BG.

I looked through my Polish book earlier and must have skipped past it.

Stll don't know what the Wehrmacht were doing there that early.... ??? Maybe it wasn't scrapped completely in 1937....

There's some info here which confirms that may be a mistake (try Google Translate!) http://www.dws.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=14846
