The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

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.
 
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?

It is the single Savoia-Marchetti S.84! :encouragement:

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

Over to you, Mike :icon29:
 
:banghead: 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!
 
Thanks Mike.

Keeping the twin theme going.
