G'day Patoruzu! I've read (happy to be corrected) that the PZL.30 airliner never flew as such, because as you said, LOT had no interest in it and therefore it was completed as a "combat proficiency trainer" which flew in March 1936. This formed the basis for the production PZL.30A Zubr. Possibly either one had the fixed undercarriage? However I can find no mention of it in books. Poor drawings but the PZL.30/BI definitely had a side fuselage wheel well as opposed to the LWS nacelle retracting undercarriage...

Thanks Waynos and thanks Marcogrifo I would really appreciate new denominations for my "push/pull" list which I have recently started.
On the other hand I'm happy to announce that my list of "contrarotating props" is going very well with new additions trickling in.
I'll soon update it
Cheers

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
I'll give you a clue concerning the flying wing: it isn't german and it was a one-off model of the middle thirties.....

Looks the the upper drawing, 'port side view' shows the inward retracting gear and the lower starboard shows a rearward gear. ?

Hello gentlemen,
Help required: does the attached image represent a Curtiss-Wright BT/32 "condor"?
There are conflicting views over the identification with a friend of mine.
Thanks in advance

Morning ACMKen
There two different airplanes - Upper the PZL 30-BI and below PZL 30-BII- Note that the nacelles are also different.

Since there are no takers yet for this flying wing and valuable space should be made for other , more interesting and enthralling challenges, I'll inform you that it is the Nieuport-Delage NID/941 of 1935 (only one prototype was built).
Cheers

OK, guess this:
P.S.: I decided in this case I do not hide the code on fuselage because it shoudn't help so much in guessing the plane (but someone can always contradict me... )

this below is an excerpt from Putnam's "Curtiss Aircraft 1907 - 1947", I hope can help you...
And here below is a detail of your photo, where (barely visible on lower surface of low wing) I can see what IMO is the chinese air force insigna, so that should be the only one plane sold to China. Do you agree?
Cheers

Hi Marcogrifo,
what a keen eyesight you have...and thanks for pointing it out to me.
I agree with the Chinese insignia
Nicely done

Hi Verner,
what a fascinating story about Curtiss Condors'!
In my opinion even if it wasn't a milestone in passenger air travel it was an important step in fostering air transportation for the general public albeit it remained in service for just three years.
The picture you have attached must be CO Condor (Mod.53) of 1929; of course comprehensive information may be obtained through Aerofiles
Cheers and have a very nice week end

Just to keep the ball rolling, what is it?
carson19348)8)
What was the final verdict with this one Marcogrifo? The tail looks like a Macchi?
The SFAN 11, Carson.
SFAN 11 -
Is it the Nord Norvegie ?(sorry about the guessed spelling but if its right you'll understand
The Nord NC.856 Norvigie. The tail is different and the SFAN dates back to 1940 (I think).

Hi Marcogrifo,
for some strange reasons your post appeared on my PC only this morning and I'm glad you submitted it.
It is the: LAR GR-2 of 1959, product of an unknown (at least for me) italian manufacturer.
The only picture about this A/C I found on Aviastar but no other information.
Any additional information you may have on this aircraft is appreciated

Concerning my post #3276 it is the SFAN/11, a french liaison and recce prototype of 1940.
concerning Marcogrifo's mystery plane please see my today's post to him.
