The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Sud S.O.6000 Triton

 

[pomme homme]

Exactly. The first French jet. Take it away, Chris!

 

[cthornburg]

A little earlier product

I think this is the SCIM Can 2 from

 

[cthornburg]

That's the one over to Germany

[fabulousfour]

Here we go with a rather nice looking airliner.

 

[pomme homme]

Can you please, Robert and Chris, let me know the source of the photograph and/or your information concerning the SCIM Can 2? Whilst I do not pretend to an encyclopaedic knowledge of French aircraft, neither that aeroplane, nor the company which produced it, are known to me.

 

[fabulousfour]

Mike, I found the SCIM at airwar.ru when searching for French aircraft year by year:

There is some information in English at:

Thank you, Robert. A google search threw up neither of those two links, so I am grateful to you for them. Nor did I find anything about this aeroplane when searching through the pre-war aeronautical journals available via the gallica (BnF) website - although this may be due to my failure to use the correct full stops in the aeroplane designation.

p.s. is your rather nice looking airliner the Savoia-Marchetti S.84?

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the single Savoia-Marchetti S.84!

I became aware of that type only last week when I found that photo by coincidence. Looks really good!

Over to you, Mike

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, again, Robert.

Here's something with the same number of engines but somewhat lighter and later.

 

[fabulousfour]

We had that one just a few days ago, Mike.

 

[pomme homme]

You are right, of course, Robert. Mea culpa. I had convinced myselfthat post #22993 was an earlier aeroplane - but I didn't bother to check before posting the image this morning. I should have done. Had I done so, that image wouldn't have been posted. I think that a declaration of 'open house' is the best way forward from here!

 

[lefty]

Well let's stick to twins.....this one IS nice 'n easy !

 

[Moses03]

Must be the SIPA S-1100.

 

[lefty]

It is the natty SIPA. Over to you, Kevin

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Mike.

Keeping the twin theme going.

 

[giruXX]

The PZL P-38 Wilk, perhaps?

 

[Moses03]

Yeppers!
