The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

It's not French, it is Italian!

This wee floater is the CMASA MF.6.

Neat challenge!

Thanks for the Romano, BG!

Well done,ff, perseverance pays off... Carlo, thank you for that pic of the Romano !

This one was probably quite a lot faster...

Robert,
you should have posted this post after 32 other posts

 

[fabulousfour]

Sorry, Uli, you have to explain that.

BTW, you got mail

 

[fabulousfour]

I hope you don't get puzzled from the aircraft in the background, it is from far away.

The aircraft won a race a few years after WW1 and part of its name is the manufacturer of the engine.

Sorry, Uli, you have to explain that.

31 + 32 = 63 which was the number of the craft in that race

Is it the Verville-Packard R-1 ??

 

[fabulousfour]

It is, Mike!

The first winner of the Pulitzer Race, developped from the Verville VCP with a Packard engine.

Over to you

 

[lefty]

Thank you. I have to say I spent some time researching French racing craft before the penny dropped...........

Here's one that, just for a change, isn't a floater.......although it might be !

I've seen that one and I know even the country, but I can't remember the name.
Sadly the site with those planes is down.

 

[cthornburg]

It's from a country in the southern hemisphere.

These types are out of my area of interest but I will guess Australia is the country of origin?

 

[cthornburg]

This was an interesting looking homebuilt. I don't like using them since so much variation. Since it's been a couple of days this is the Jorge Newbery JN-01, LV-X87

AFAIK this never appeared in JAWAs.

 

[giruXX]

Time for a copter, perhaps?
