The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Time to move on - it's the Lioré et Olivier H.6

Moses was close enough - over to Texas :icon29: - too cold for beer over here !
 
Very generous of you Mike. I could use the charity these days though.

Here is an easy one...

Well, you are half right.;) It is a civil transport version of the 77.:icon29: Hard to miss those giant struts!
 
I found it referred to as a "Bellanca Bimotor Transport". Could not find an exact designation if there was one.

Someone else posted this few years back on another forum:

"The Bellanca Bimotor Transport was an eighteen-place civilian transport version of the Model 77-140/320 Junior Bomber prototype and seaplane. Designed in 1934, the Bimotor was equipped with the latest blind flying instruments of the day, and had oleo type undercarriage. She was powered by two Wright Cyclone 710-hp geared radials vs. the 715-hp motors of the Model 77. The Bimotor Transport's wing span was 76 feet vs. 77 feet of the Model 77, and an overall length of 44 feet, which was 4 feet longer than the Model 77. Given the wingspans of the aforementioned aircraft, and the fact that the "-320" of the Model 77 referred to the 32-foot long floats, perhaps Bellanca should have called the Bimotor the Model 76"

Hi Mike :salute:
Before guessing and ruining what is left of my reputation, if I would turn left at the border, go south, cross the Alps , would I then be nearing its native country :ques:
 
Walter - I am sure you are correct, but totally confused as to which border you are going to cross before turning left ! :isadizzy: Wouldn't that put you in Denmark ?????
 
Hi Mike :salute:
I would make the left turn at the most southern tip of Holland and then head south.
Since I old use fashioned road maps and no GPS, no risk of ending up in Denmark.
Would Italy be a fair choice or do you advise not to undertake the trip.
 
OK, but if you did make it to Italia, you wouldn't have to go all that far south......;) Better reveal this one before everyone gets bored with European geography!
 
Hi Mike :salute:
My initial idea apparently was wrong and also the window arrangement differs, so no guess from me .
Very interested what it is :jump:
 
I saw it the other day when I was looking for something else ( ain't that always the case?) and have no clue where I was.. or maybe no clue where I am now...

Do tell, Mike
 
My apologies, gentlemen - I was sidetracked by the other thread and forgot about this one. It is the Lombardi LM.7

I think Wout misunderstood my geographical reference and am sure he knew it. I'll bet he gets this one !
 
Hi Mike :salute:
When I headed south, the LM-7 was my choice. But.......I started doubting myself because of the differences in windows and u/c (I had a picture of I-PACK to compare).
Maybe interesting to know that both LM-7 built (I-TTEN and I-PACK) are reportedly undergoing restoration resp. in long term storage.
 
No, Dan, you are in the right country, and it does indeed look like one of those Messerschmitt derivatives, but this is a quite separate design.
