• 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 Kevin - but will have to decline the Guinness in favour of a Diet Coke.
New Year Resolution and all that - not so much to do with the alcohol, but more its tendency to load on the poundage !

The Makhonin 123 pics I have seen show bulbous appendages to presumably house the forward-retracting gear. Even the cowling doesn't look right - another mystery here. Have a Google and you'll see what I mean.

Back to something a bit more venerable.
 
You got me on this one. Thought it might be a one-off Caudron but the trail went cold.

Need some help! Where is everyone?
 
It indeed looks Caudron-y but is in fact a Ponnier P.1 from 1916.

Let's get more up-to-date and see how quickly someone can grab this portly wee fellow.
 
Thank for the info on the De Marcay. Sorry to be so long acknowledging it, but my PC motherboard fried and for some reason the computer wouldn't work until I fitted a new one :angryfir:. Hopefully all is working OK now. I still come across the odd glitch. Haven't tried FS9 yet, but I am hoping for an increase in frame rates.
 
Caudron C277 Luciole? Not sure.

Was that quote from Sir Terry Pratchett said before or after he got Alzheimers? :bananapowerslide:
 
It does look like a Caudron C277 Luciole, but with faired in undercarriage and re-engined with a Continental flat four (A-65?) from the original Renault Bengali
 
Not a Caudron, but it is French (Though the name would suggest otherwise) and the colours are not historic! I've editted out some german iron crosses, but it's not German and not used in either war.
