• 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.

Keith, your light just extinguished but I feel confident and am willing to accept a clip up the back of the head if wrong, so I'll press on with this easy one - I even left the caption on to help. :untroubled:

Green, I certainly cannot complain as you have an even less grainy photo to confirm your recognition! Well done.:very_drunk:

Thanks Green. Had no luck searching for a Douglas Dakota I.:wink:


Here is one a little off the beaten path...

When Moses says 'off the beaten path' it normally means he has exhumed the last traces of Tierra del Fuego's aircraft industry......

However, this, especially the engine installation, looks East European. I suspect clues will be required !
 
This is a one-off from 1934. Not from Europe though (or South America!). It performed well, even making an almost 10 hr long distance flight.
 
Sorry for the tardy reply. Yes, it is the A-6. A humble little newspaper courier. Well done Green! :icon29:

Apologies if my "off the beaten path" statement made it too hard. I know in the past I have used that to describe something from Australia, Indonesia, etc.

Thanks Moses, and I too apologise for a slow reply, but shift work can sometimes do that. Regards your "off the beaten path" criteria - seems fine to me, so here's another "off the beaten path"...:untroubled:

Will do, G (think the others must be on vacation.....) :very_drunk:

If I were the Sopwith pilot, I would be a tad worried about those floats - they look as though they would 'dig in' at the slightest provocation !
