The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Perfect, the one and only RWD 7. :icon29:

Interesting that there are quite a few aircraft with a similar look from different countries.

Over to you, Kevin!
 
Thanks Robert.

This one is a bit obscure but I will say it has a Maybach engine...

Is that the H.Cukurs C-3 YL-AAB? It seems to have existed in single and two seat formats.

Edit: on reflection, I think I'm wrong as the aeroplane illustrated above appears to have a cantilever wing (unlike the C-3) - but the 'humpback' is very Cukurs' like.
 
Robert is right and the plane is from a stable that became (and still is) really world-famous. There is a good clue in this photo but another (more obvious) one is absent. :bee:
 
It IS a modified J.10: D-77 which conveyed the lord mayor of Dessau to Weimar on June 17, 1919.

Over to you, Chris :icon29:
 
Search doesn't show up on thread. Could be a stumper. From a country not normally seen.

Hi Chris:encouragement:
I think she maye have originated in Syria before WW2 and said to be a project of Air France personel stationed in Damascus during the 1930s. First flight 1 November 1935?
She may never have been officially registered although I have seen a pic sporting the (fake?) S-YRIE registration.
Further understand that after WW2 she may have gone to Lebanon as the DS-1 Papillon with 1947 registration LR-AAP. Damaged same year.
40hp Salmson engine, wingspan 10,00 meter, length 6,50 meter

Good morning everybody!
Only this morning I saw Chthornburg pic.
To confirm Wout's comments I also have her identified as D.S. N1 (ex SBPCC) "Papillon" Lebanon 40HP Salmson engine LR-AAP. If somebody is interested I also have two additional pics (grainy):
Cheers
Carlo
