Thanks, Lefty.

Here is the next turkey:

[/QUOTE
This turkey (which is a parrot instead) looks tremendously like a Kaproni Bulgarski KB-6 (KB309) "Papagal"....

BTW this is one of the best pics I've ever seen of this bird

[lefty]

Here's couple more, BG...

 

[dan_pub]

Indeed, BG, the KB-6 Papagal.

Congrats to you and lefty. Your turn

 

[Baragouin]

Cheers

How far East BG? My simple searches have not shown it up in China or Japan, but then I've only got the web for inspiration.....

Hi Dev One!
She comes from a prominent country of what we europeans call Far East......

I'll throw in an extra bonus: engine was a Shimazu-LeRhone 80HP rotary engine.

 

[Ferry_vO]

Thanks for the hint; it is the 1917 Ozaki Tractor Biplane from Japan.

 

[Dev One]

That one didn't appear on my very weak radar return, although I was concentrating pre 1914........

Yes Ferry that's what it is!
Your turn

Something a bit more modern:

 

[lefty]

Ah, Ferry, this is the Chengdu J-7FS. A Mig-21 running on rice wine.

Over to Scotland!

 

[lefty]

Thank you Ferry.
This one is a bit of an obscurity - there's not much info anywhere about it, but there are one or two here who will know it for sure.....

 

[Moses03]

Post-war France?

That's all I have.

 

[lefty]

Yes, 1948, Salmson engine.

 

[Moses03]

Doubt a hammering of Aviafrance will give up any secrets. My guess is this one is under the radar.

 

[lefty]

Yes, it is an oddjob - the ACS Abeille (F-WGBU) constructed by the Aeroclub de Suresnes. I thought Walter would have this in his vaults..... OH, chaps.

 

[Moses03]

Hmm, that is a new one to me Mike. Wonder if Walter has it as well.


Here is a nifty twin boom floater-

 

[dan_pub]

It has definitely a Sikorsky S-3x feel but I can't find it.

 

[lefty]

Could this be the ill-fated Stinson Amphibian ?
