Well, here is an online version (pdf) of GLI Aeroplani Caproni. (Takes awhile to download). Anyone read Italian?:cool:

A quick check (starting from page 254), just shows the first version.

Thanks Moses!
I thoroughly enjoyed your wonderful link re "Caproni Aircrafts" and I think we should all be indebted to you for sharing it with us!

PS Unfortunately it doesn't shed any light on the problem concerning the Ca95
 
You are welcome BG. Nice of that Italian site to make it available!

No luck with Lefty's floater. Has a German feel but nothing uncovered yet.
 
Ah Ha ! The unmistakeable fragrance of bockwurst and bier drifts over the page......The Texan Terror is on the trail...... can he catch this BMW-powered floater ?? :germany:
 
A product of the Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft, this is the L.F.G. V.60 Five produced in the mid-Twenties.


Who's this cheeky chappie ?

Rather grainy (but what can you expect from 1940 eastern Europe?)....
Good luck

Hi Lefty!

Yes, it is indeed the sole serbian (not hungarian) "Brucoš" ("Freshman") of 1940 powered by a DeHavilland Gipsy Major I.
:icon29:Your turn Sir
Cheers

Sorry, Baragouin, had a senior moment there - been obsessed with Hungary of late. It's those girls in the red leather boots.........

Now here's a reminder that you should never eat curried eggs in confined spaces.
 
This "epave" should be the unfortunate Lacab GR8 "Doryphore" a belgian contraption of 1936!
Cheers
Baragouin

Yes, I agree, a powerful Luftwaffe fart.....?
 
Those Belgians should have stuck to beer and chocolate.

Over to Tuscany - a glass of my favourite Ramazzotti for the Signore.

Hi Baragouin :salute:
Is this the one with the tail wheel (SE-2300)?
Click to expand...

Oui mon ami, that's what it is: the SNCASE (or Sud Est) SE-2300 with tailwheel. As you know the 2300 lineage included the SE-2310 produced with "plain" tricycle landing gear (F-WBBK) and trousered tricycle landing gear (F-BEEL). :icon29:Your turn
Baragouin
 
I understand the whole family tree was as follows (I am open for comments/remarks)

SE-2300 two-seater tail wheel and 140hp Renault 4P-EI F-WBBD/F-BBBD
SE-2300 two-seater, two examples with tri-gear (F-WBBK/F-BBBK and F-BEEL) of which latter with wheel pants. Same engine
SE-2300/II one SE-2310 re-engined with 135hp Régnier 4L0-0
SE-2300/III one SE-2310 re-engined with 170hp Régnier 4L-02
SE-2311 second SE-2310 with fuel tank relocated from fuselage to the wing, making it a 3-seater.

Thanks Mike, would appreciate that (maybe via PM?)

Next challenge will follow a.s.a.p.
 
Forum is about Mystery Aircraft. This one may qualify.
First flew in the 1970s (have no exact date) and sadly lost in accident in 1985.
