Early ? It was after midday when I posted, BG ! (I'm up at 6.30 GMT every morning - the good lady still works....)

Anyway, here's a beast of the Thirties - with some smooth-looking fliers - now where do they come from ?????

In my opinion it is a Renard-Stampe&Vertongen RSV 26/180 ( therefore Belgium) but I might be wrong as amongst them there is a fair amount of look-alikes......
All the best
BG
 
Thanks Lefty....
Here's a dear old girl....

Here's a floater tucked up for bed, which is where I intend to be in 5 minutes !

Please just proceed if you get it - not difficult !.....
 
Will slip in while Europe is asleep, this is the SNCAC NC.420. Think we have seen her before!


Pressing on with another floater...

Thanks Moses!
Here comes a difficult one however I'm going to give you an important clue: this bird comes from a european country that doesn't exist any more but is still present with quite a few different names....

Well a European country that doesn't exist any more sounds like Yugoslavia (the only other one I can think of is Czechoslovakia).

Can't find a Yugo machine like that at all....
 
Oh, there are a few more: Austro-Hungarian empire, Grossdeutsches Reich, République des Soviets du Sud-Ouest de la France, etc
Not that it helps id that girl...
 
Hello gentlemen,
well the country is indeed Yugoslavia but my girl doesn't belong to one of the major companies like Zmaj or Fizir....
Cheers
BG
 
Well I think it's high time to carry on...the proposed Aircraft is a Bloudek XIV "Sraka" originally built in 1925 in Yugoslavia and re-built in 1932, powered by a diminutive Blackburn Tomtit....
Open house for me now....please go ahead whoever feels like....
BG

PS I suggest you read Mr. Bloudek's biography in the net....quite a character!
 
Interesting indeed, BG !

Let's keep it moving - shouldn't take you long to figure this out - but which air arm ???
