Ten million?! I could retire! I suspect it's a British dream but then again the French were also dreamers?...

Ah, I see, thank you
Honestly, I guessed Curtiss but I knew I was wrong

Anyway, it's a nice little twin-engined, well done Waynos

Yes, very nice colour photo Wayne, thanks. In some ways the Concordia reminds me of this machine...

Yakovlev Yak-16

Waynos · Aug 14, 2009

You got it. Here's the pic with all markings untouched. Shall I do the reveal for the bonus item or shall I leave it a bit longer?

Meanwhile here's another with ID's painted off.

Spot on Marco!

Yes please!

The Koolhoven F.K. 55. Do you know what the twin pusher in the background is? (I don't).

Waynos · Aug 14, 2009

No I don't know what it is either, but the FK.55 is spot on. Here's the original article for the 'bonus'. Its from 1935 so, despite the cartoonish shape, it was actually a quite well thought out idea.

And from much later here is another.

Looks a lot like the Bede BD-10, Jim Bede's aborted attempt at a homebuilt jet back in the mid-90's. In Bede's usual fashion, the design changed hands several times and had multiple designations. I don't think there are any flying now, unless it's been resurrected again.

Emilio Lafuente · Aug 15, 2009

The Bizjet with a fighter look is the ATG Javelin.

Waynos · Aug 15, 2009

Yes, thats the one Emilio. I did wonder if this had sneaked past unnoticed, sadly it is no more.

Marcogrifo · Aug 16, 2009

Can you identify this?

Cheers

Nope, other than a 50's Jane's entry that describes the project as "progressing" and provided optimistic detailed data...

Thanks very much Graeme

And I must apologize, it seems like sometimes fingers are faster than brain!
Yes a SM.95B prototype did his mayden flight in 1945
Anyway, I'm not completely wrong, because the develop (or better, the completion) of that "bomber" was a dispensation from peace treaty agreements
An excerpt from an article about SM.95 I've found on an issue of "Aerofan" magazine:

Yes, you're right, that is precisely the look (and the essence) of that project
The profile shown in Graeme's post seems, I think, a speculation about the look the SM.95B should have had.
But these below are "the original drawings" found by the Aerofan's staff

Quite a merge between SM.82 fuselage and SM.95 wings, isn't it?

And me too
Finally, the only two known photos of SM.95B

Cheers

Hi Marcogrifo

Hi Marcogrifo,
I've never seen it but somehow it reminds me of a russian plane...maybe an early Ilyushin?

After the victoria of the "Civetta "(owl) at the Palio I'm submitting this modest A/C for identification which probably won't last more than ten minutes....

I finally found it by sheer luck! It is a roumanian passenger aircraft of 1932 Bratu 220, I think it was manufactured in France and it is a one-off aircraft.

Interesting plane. Description from: Romanian Aeronautical Constructions 1905-1974.

This might be difficult to identify except for our australian friends.....
