• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks Mike. Actually Wout tripped me up on that Trella recently. Have to stay more focused!

Will press on here. Up next, a trimotor flying boat.
 
Ahh, back in Floaterville !

Thought this was an S.P.C.A. 10 - it is very similar - but not quite.
Am now thinking other side of the Atlantic............
 
Not sure how it happened. Maybe you deleted a cookie?

Will leave you all with another hint before I turn in. Like the Bratu 220, this one was also powered by Gnome-Rhone engines...
 
Thought it might be Italian, but not with those French engines. Suppose it's one of your Balkan bandits - which are beyond the capabilities of my library... :frown:

Mention of the Cessna Bird Dog reminds me of the old Airfix Dogfight Doubles pack which had it in military livery in Vietnam pitted against a MiG21. I have a distinct memory of me & my friend Bill (now a computer scientist in Cambridge, then a schoolboy in short trousers!) laughing at that - must've been around 1970? - but it was really rather imaginative of Airfix, wasn't it? :applause:

(the pack, unopened, would now be worth a small fortune, though it was about 1/6 at the time).
 
Rgr the Airfix Ralf!

Thought the floater would be off the board by now. Lefty was on the right track from the start.

Here it is on display at the 1926 Paris airshow. The first flight didn't take place until a few years later though.
 
Let's stick to the water - this one is not a really a light aircraft either - designed for passengers or cargo..
 
Forked tail. Aimed at so called Air Taxi market. Consider this as the ultimate challenge for Moses03 and I hope that at least one other Forum member will
control himself and not jump at the answer. I'll explain later.
Sorry for the grainy picture.
 
Very enigmatic, Wout, but I fear you will find that this one is known in Texas !
(As well as other parts of the world :d )
