That's the one, Walter. Some more modesty from other regulars, I think - we are a bashful lot ! :very_drunk:

Jane's 1949/50 has it as the MF-1, and mentions the MF-2 , a two-seat version with 4-cyl engine. Did that ever leave the drawing board ?

Hi Mike :encouragement:
Sorry I missed your remark/question
I am rather certain that the two-seater was never built.
Regarding the designation MF-1 or FM-1, I like to maintain the latter. When you use friend Google with Stelio Frati Passera, or just Movo Passero, most (if not all) sites quote FM-1.

Keeping your feet dry??
 
Let's circle around to this one.

I think, BG, this is the tubby wee Breguet 470 Fulgur which nobody seemed to love, and which, after some long-distance racing, found itself in the Spanish Civil War !
 
I'm obsessed with floaters (but am getting therapy for it....)

This one is missing its Anzani engine.....
 
This is a bit of a stinker. It's a European model a long way from its homeland - where it served along with the landplane version - here's one with an engine !
 
Right, we'll move on - BG is correct with the Ryan (a B-5 Brougham actually), but the Chinese also purchased a couple of Raab-Katzenstein aircraft - this one an RK-9.

Now for something completely different - and not a float in sight ! Any choppophiles out there ??
 
Hi Mike :encouragement:
Never realized I was a choppophile. Have accepted it and will have to live with it.
Have been called worst names:untroubled:
Is your offering the Jensen Model 21 of 1947/1948 (NX31224)?
 
It is the Jensen, Walter, confirming you as a Champion Choppophile.......:very_drunk:

A machine that came from way up in the mountains of Washington State.
 
Hi Lefty!
One really learn something every day! I would have never thought that chinese would buy or build a "Grasmücke" (let alone with floaters)...By the way I wonder whether you could let me have an unphotoshopped pic of the chinese RK9....
Thanks
BG
 
Thank you Mike!
Someting different. The aircraft is a twin boom Cessna, but what are the devices under the wings? (nothing to do with aerial spraying or similar). Name or purpose will do :biggrin-new:

Hi Kevin :encouragement:
Sorry, no camera. The system had influence on the aerodynamic characteristics. There are small engines/props at the end of the booms. A Cessna 207 was tested with the same devices.
Will post a link once you all give up! :biggrin-new:
