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.

Hi Lefty!
I swear I've seen it before, the long dorsal fin being a very distinctive feature....however my luck is running out as I just can't place it!

BG, it is indeed the Nanchang J-12, a sort of scaled-down Mig-21.
(Marc, which movie ????)
I'm thinking about something like WINGS or HELL'S ANGELS...

EDIT: It would help if I read things correctly! not Micron, but Minor! Unfortunately Wiki does not show that aircraft in its list of Minor engines - back to the drawing board with a new pair of glasses methinks!

In my opinion it is a Dewoitine D480 or D481 with cowled engine: the former was fitted with a Salmson engine and the latter with a Lorraine engine...but of course I could be wrong!Thanks for the clues!
Another Salon baby. Wonder if those names on the wall are a red herring or not!
Cheers
BG
PS Congratulations on the Guerchais-Schwander...it wasn't easy!
(With a loss to Germany - crazy sport that!)

Well done team USA - the Europeans are having very mixed fortunes in Brazil (we won't mention England - no schadenfreude here....
)As for your latte, Kevin - it really bugs me that nowadays if you go into a bar/restaurant and ask for a coffee, the kids look at you as though you are a recently-landed Martian.......suppose that's progress.....all I want is some black wet stuff without anything in it - apparently I should ask for an 'Americano'. Bollocks to that. There speaks Grumpy Old Man. (And I thought the USA was the last bastion of civilization.....).
AS for BG's 'easy one' - I am floundering. Anyone ?
Yes Moses it is indeed the Latecoere 22 well doneWell, I guess no one picked up on the hints "late to the party", "cafe latte". (Extra "t" I know).
I found this same photo labeled as a Latecoere 22. Assuming that is correct...
!Concerning the terrible figure cut by Italy in Brazil I think it is best to cast a pitiful veil over the whole organization (and yet these games have cost to the italian tax payers fivemillion euros as the team well deserved to be pampered........)
Better discuss about aircrafts....
Anyway your turn Moses
BG
MMMMM...a Praga E81 (very doubtful)?Thanks. We take on Belgium next. Probably the end of the road for Team USA. One can hope though.
On to the planes. An Interesting angle on an old friend...
BG
Forget it....my blunder!
