The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Maybe a Curtiss export to South America somewhere. Can't seem to reconcile the roundel.

We'll award this to Texas - :very_drunk: - it's the Curtiss-Wright CW-14R Osprey, and therein lies the mystery.

As far as I can ascertain, the CW-14R was delivered to Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, but the insignia doesn't seem right - the roundel isn't the Colombian one, and all others supposedly have horizontal tail bars.

However, I found this pic purporting to be of Venezuelan CR-14's, (two of them anyway) so maybe it's one of those !

Nice try flipping the pic :adoration: but it IS an oddity

Nothing available, so it's OH guys!
 
Yes I found that one too, as well as this one - one wonders why they went to all that trouble.
You'd think they could have found an old DC-4 or something.........movie directors are an odd bunch !

Here's a nice easy sporty model - -

I suspect that's the Peyret Mauboussin PM X, but I haven't had a chance to search for photographs thereof in order to confirm or deny my suspicion.
 
Thank you, BG. I'm afraid I'm busy with the sheep today (currently on my tea break!) but I'll try to post something this evening unless someone else cares to step into the breach in the meantime.
 
Hi PH.

I'm probably trying to push a square block through a round hole - but there are some similarities to the Dart Kitten?
 
A wee bit similar, G, but this is, as every schoolboy will tell you, the immortal Burgoyne-Stirling Dicer. Yes, really......:encouragement:
