The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

That looks very much like the Blohm & Voss BV 144.

German speciality - fat prop blades ! (why ??)

Robert scores a direct hit.

(I wondered that too Mike).

 

[fabulousfour]

I think there are several philosophies about the best prop design leading to different shapes.
Just thinking of the squared off prop tips of e.g. the Trojan or the L188 Electra which can be seen only on US designs, if I'm not wrong.

Something older.

Lock me in for the Boulton Paul P.25 Bugle.
Open House if correct.

Cheers.

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Bolton Paul Bugle!

Open Hose as requested.

@Green: What is that aircraft in your avatar?

 

[fabulousfour]

Nobody?

Here is a wee high-winger

 

[fabulousfour]

Perhaps this bird is better known without its cabin but with a strutted wing...

 

[fabulousfour]

Not from the US, held several records in its class.

 

[pomme homme]

I believe that it's French; the background is familiar; and I might even have used it on another forum many years ago - none of which helps me remember what it is! Oh, the effect of advancing years upon the memory.

 

[fabulousfour]

Not French as well, Mike. Think more southern and remember my first clue.

From a well known manufacturer which is better known for his 4-wheel products nowadays.

 

[Moses03]

Fiat AS-1 I believe.

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Fiat, Kevin!

Must have been one of the rare aircraft with a cabin.

Passing the baton over the big pond.

 

[Moses03]

Thanks. It looked like the Elias EC-1 so I spent too much time looking for it over here. Argh.

A crafty little number-

Gentlemen
Thisis the Nikitin NV-1 of 1933 engine M-11 (only one built)

...and this repays me for stupidly ignoring the early FIAT!....

 

[Moses03]

Carlo has the finely metal crafted Russian. Over to Italy-
