The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

... where in the end the two aircraft took sixth and seventh place and the race was won by a well known trimotor of the same country.

No takers on the Fiat BR.20A?

 

[fabulousfour]

Thank you, Kevin!
It is indeed the Fiat BR.20 in the civilized version "A" that took part in the race Istres - Damascus - Paris.

Too easy or too difficult for the rest of the community?

Anyway, over to Texas, please

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Robert. I think the 20A was an attractive aircraft.

Here is a smaller cabin job.

We are all wacko for Waco. Chris.

We are all wacko for Waco. Chris.

Just a little more QDC for the Waco wackos (I'm one). A couple of shots of the one I had the pleasure to fly 241 months ago... (lovely wife has modernized her hair since then)

 

[cthornburg]

Must have been a good ride to remember from 20 years ago.

Next one I think will be a tough one. Not in Aerofiles.

Best I could do for the pix.

[Moses03]

Chris, we have had this one in the distant past. Might be a good time to see who remembers it though.

Let it ride!

I went looking for it. One of the things I don't like about forums the pixs disappear. Also name is different than from what I have. Maybe was posted before I joined.

The Loring RB surveillance aircraft perhaps

 

[cthornburg]

Not sure I have it as Barron Recee Monoplane

Close ties with Loring and Barron so what's the exact designation? Over to you.

Chris

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talleres_Loring

"The Loring RB surveillance aircraft, a monoplane prototype said to have been built right at the beginning in 1923, and the T-2 are developments about which there are almost no data.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][4]"

[giruXX]

Here comes one which we almost had already AFAIK

 

[lefty]

Morning Uli - trying to get into this site in the morning can be very frustrating ! No takers for your triplane - so I'll dive in with the Catron & Fisk 1920 effort for the Curtiss Cup Race.

 

[giruXX]

having the same frustration, Mike, and had to give up several times
Your opening is correct. Have it as one of two Catron-Fisk Triplanes; a tri-motor and a single engine one.

 

[lefty]

Yes - in my research, found out there were actually two different versions of the trimotor. Quirky !

Now this machine will not be difficult to identify, but it has obviously been modified in a strange way - for what purpose, please ???

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

...... it's cargo might come home to roost .......

 

[lefty]

Right, time to move on , Jim, if you have a new mystery ?

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Lefty's Junkers monoplane carried pigeons in Belgium I believe - perhaps their consumption of Frites and mayonnaise meant they could no longer fly themselves......

OH please
