• 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.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Not sure where this came from but it is called the LB there too.

As I said, I'm not quibbling, and the original photo shows 'L-B' on the nose, this signifies 'Lévy-Besson' ! Neither the authoritative 'Aéronefs de l'Aviation Maritime', nor Aerofrance refer to a 'Besson LB'.

But, gentlemen, we are in the murky waters of French aircraft designations.........:untroubled:

A one-off trial of this engine in a mid-20's fighter that served with two air arms . Over 200 of the original model built.....
 
But the fighter looks the same as the other 200+ (apart from the front bit with the whirly thing.........). One of the air forces it went to was in a northern state.
 
Chris, the rest of the crew are obviously on a sabbatical, so I'll have to have a shot at your shrouded floater.

How about the Svenska 'Pirat' ?
 
Thanks for getting it right. Going on a couple day vacation to Sun Valley to see what it like. Not sure about my connection so it worked out well. Always my first stop on the internet to see something I haven't seen before

Chris
 
Thanks Chris - enjoy Sun Valley. Skiing ??

Here's an oddball - think it has appeared here before, but a long, long time ago -
