Looks like a mock up or prototype for the Nimrod forerunner (forgotten the name..)

I think its a mock up, and its French. An early version of the Breguet Deux Ponts perhaps?

Can't relocate the French website where I found that photo but it also came with this line drawing. They called it the Air Wibault 100. I've no idea of its history but obviously they it good enough for a mock-up.

A double decker. Perhaps the first. What a pity it was never built.

Waynos · Jul 15, 2009

It strikes me we are lacking a picture.

Fascinating project Graeme, do you know when its from? I wonder if it was the first attewmpt at a double decker, I've certainly seen a few but they were all post 1945.

Looks like a mutant Caudron Goeland to me Wayne..is it French?

Waynos · Jul 16, 2009

Yes it is French. And there is a picture of it somewhere on your bookshelf

Ahh..my mind is no longer sharp. You wouldn't believe how many books I thumbed through looking for that damn thing! I actually thought it may have been some sort of aerodynamic test bed for the Languedoc built from a Goeland. Nice clue, thanks. The Potez 661. I'm going to have to start looking again for more photos.

Waynos · Jul 16, 2009

Yes, spot on. Good old Janes 1938 again. I've just built up a little stock of pics from somewhere else for future use

it looks a bit like the SM79 in civilian clothes but of course it ain't it...

I was struck by the similarity to the SM.79, which also began as an airliner. But it is not related to that plane Carson, as you already noted.

Tzaw1 · Jul 16, 2009

Maybe this is SM.73. But what with undercarriage?

Waynos · Jul 16, 2009

Its not italian. If you look its 'an OK kind of plane'

Tzaw1 · Jul 16, 2009

CSA (Cechoslovakian Airlines) had six Savoias OK-BAB to -BAG.

Waynos · Jul 16, 2009

I'm sure they did Tzaw1. But this aint one of 'em. I would only point to the reggie as a clue for one reason.

Czech AV-57

Nice Verner

Waynos · Jul 17, 2009

You got it Verner! The Avia 57 of 1935.
