Isn't it just!

Well done with the XV-9.
 
Speaking of tri-motors. Whatizit?

Good morning gentlemen,

this is my next challenge (easy)
cheers

P.S. I knew both previous challenges (Zubr and Bellanca) but I wasn't in attendance, what a pity. Choppers instead aren't my cup of tea!

Hi,
if I can say, I'd submit of hiding codes visible on wings or fuselage if possible, otherwise guessing planes might be too easy, sometimes...;)

Cheers

I see some minor differences from PZL 30 reference photos I've found on web but maybe the plane shown here is the first prototype...:?:

I suspect so Marcogrifo. Possibly the PZL 30 prototype. Note that in Flyboy 2's photo that the main undercarriage retracts into the fuselage side and not the nacelles. The fin and extreme nose also differ to the design when LWS too control.

PZL P-30 (LWS-6) Zubr

Heavens mate, I wouldn't dream of investigating the registration. :) No, I remembered the Weserflug from a small line drawing I have...



(However I'd be interested in a German aircraft registration search engine if you know of one! :))

Look familiar?...

Anyway, good catch!

Those are very cute remarks Marcogrifo: I'll make sure to save both pics of the "Zubr", i.e. the one submitted by Flyboy and the ones available on "ugolok neba". But it still remains an ugly contraption!

Yes it looks familiar, it must be a french contraption but right now I have no time to investigate it as i have to take care of th emissus......

The missus can wait for a while....I'm quoting at heart maybe the Farman NC-223?

Sorry, believe me, I wasn't blaming anyone for this apart from myself for the first :oops::lol:

Sorry again, I don't know any special search engine :), but try googling "aircraft YR-AHA" or "aircraft D-ORBE" ;)

Look familiar?...


Hmm, an usual "french-multi-engine-high-wing-fixed-gear-ugly-plane" built in the period between WWI and WWII, maybe?

I guess we're a little tired of seeing ugly French planes? So to end this one it's the Societe Aerienne Bordelaise SAB-80. Meant to be a multi-role aircraft it was suppose to undertake communication, long and short range bomber, escort and reconnaissance missions but in the end it could perform none of these roles to a high standard.

Hi Graeme
thanks for the solution of the riddle, I didn't know that ugly french thing (no offense meant of course). May I suggest something? You are an absolute mine of information and knowledge, why don't you make a challenge over some little known flying wing? Just a suggestion...

GRAEME I guess the PZL 30 as it was an cvil airliner have an fixed Undercarriage - Was designed by a team led by Eng. Zbysław Ciołkosz
It was refused and LOT buy some american douglass DC2 - Then the aircraft was converted in a (1200kg bombs) bomber - Also the engines was changed from Wasp juniors to Bristol Pegasus VIII so the naceles an the fuselage was changed Pzl30BII

In 1936 the contract on construction of 16 bombers for the Polnish Army was received by firm LWS (Lubelska Wytwórnia Samolotów). They received the designation LWS-6.
The LWS-6 was called Zubr (Bison).

After the capitulation some were used by the german in the flying schools and 4 were used in multiple tasks by the russian.

Hi again Marcogrifo
I don't mean to confuse you but I just started a small thread called "aircrafts in push/pull configuration". This is just a very humble start but I'm sure, with the help of you gentlemen, that it will grow up to a respectable size.

Good evening gentlemen,
if nobody wants to put forth a challenge over a flying wing, well I'll be the one (easy)

Carson, can you provide a link for your thread aircrafts in push/pull configuration as I cannot find it and I have a picture foryou that you might not have seen before.

Your flying wing reminds me of an early Lippisch test plane but I'm not finding it so easy as you might think :)
