The one and only, F-APOZ. Take it away, Uli!

Chris, this is new to me, and I can find nothing about it on the net. (or anywhere else for that matter !)

It looks like it has Curtiss JN-4 roots, and Spain had a few of those - is it a mod ?

 

[giruXX]

@lefty: there is a note in "Aviones Espanoles del siglo XX"

Sousa Mixto
Biplano biplaza de reconocimiento, con motor Hispano de 180 HP, fue diseñado por D. Luis Sousa Peco y construido en los Talleres de Aviación Militar en Cuatro Vientos. Aproximadamente una decena prestaron servicio en Marruecos en 1919-1920.

Thanks, Uli, for that link.
The older I get, it seems, the less I know !

 

[giruXX]

definitely not, Mike!!


I'd like to close the door with this

 

[srgalahad]

Had to work backward on this. It looked remarkably like the interior of the Tillamook Air Museum... hmm, what do they have new since my last visit... aha!
Cvjetkovic CA-65 Skyfly

There's an entry in Wikipedia w/photo, no pic on the museum website.
OK, am I weird because I recognize walls of a building I haven't seen in years?

(Not my photo) https://th.bing.com/th/id/R8e5eecfe39c92e17c7156070077dc319?rik=sA%2fPJFW1PV9uLg&riu=http%3a%2f%2fblog.goodsam.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2019%2f05%2fRallis-Tribe-Tillamook-2_web.jpg&ehk=VHfYwTPVEruA%2fp%2bNpIFop2vmQ7ej081Zw2MxCKNIE%2fw%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw

BTW, the museum website is not great but a Google/Bing image search will show how impressive the building is!

As today is the spousal b'day and thus have things to attend to, I'll open the door again

 

[fabulousfour]

Uli, is that a Cvjetkovic CA-65?

Edit: srgalahad was faster, shouldn't have written so much.

@lefty and all: A bit more about the Sousa Mixto with Chris' picture can be found in this pdf (in Spanish) on page 33 (longer download):

[giruXX]

nice detective work srgalahad

(it looks as if my mystery were specifically designed for you)

thanks also to Robert

Open Door again

 

[fabulousfour]

Ok, let's try these biplanes.

 

[fabulousfour]

First flight end of WW1 but too late to see action. 20 aircraft were built.

 

[giruXX]

time for a cigar or two, Robert ??

 

[fabulousfour]

Strictly no smoking on board, Uli.

 

[lefty]

My cigars were always Villigers ( ) - that takes me back a bit !
