Thanks, Mike, two beer are just perfect now.

Here is another biplane of about the same vintage.

Lublin R-IX ​

I‘m impressed, Uli!

It is the one and only Lublin R.IX.

Over to the Black Forest

Here you go with a monoplane

That gear just doesn't look long enough ! The tubby Macchi MB323, Uli.

 

[giruXX]

The Macchi MB.323 it is! Later it looked less ungainly.

 

[lefty]

Thanks Uli. We haven't had an aggie for ages, so here's a nice shiny one...

 

[giruXX]

I think, this won't continue to shine for long, here.

Hi Mike
The first of the Texas Aggies. The AG-1 by Fred Weick and built by personnel of the Texas A&M College.

 

[lefty]

All yours, Walter, (Úli being modest here,,)

A parasol wing. In her short life she used 3 different engines. That info must help.

 

[pomme homme]

Could that be the Van Lith IV?

 

[wout]

Hi pomme homme
Sorry, not one of the Jean van Lith series. But you are Sherlocking in the right country!

 

[giruXX]

According to the prop: the Eleaume RE.I with her Salmson engine in 1975

 

[wout]

hi giruxx

She is!. Later engines were a Beaussier and a Continental A65.
You need a new SH cap or is the old gone still okay?
BTW, do you have (another) pic of the RE-1?

Your turn please

 

[giruXX]

I don't wear caps

On with this:

 

[pomme homme]

I was right off the scent. I assumed that it dated from the late forties or early fifties - which is where I was looking. Do you have any more information concerning Eleaume RE.1, Walter? My library and the internet is silent and, according to the index, it's not even mentioned in Trait d'Union.

I assume, Uli, that you didn't intend to leave the registration showing on the Iniziative Industriali Italian Sky Arrow 600 Sport!

 

[giruXX]

The Eleaume appears in "Les Avions Francais 1965-1990”
And, no, I intentionally let the registration on (trying to direct you to the US)

Sky Arrow is correct

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Uli. I've just placed an order for the book.

In the circumstances, I think that 'open house' is the way to go.

A one-off. Straight tubing was out of fashion at the time, I guess
