To keep the ball rolling may I suggest identification of the following tidy biplane?

I'm always surprised how they were able to plan and built (and made fly!) such huge machines in WWI era...
Try to identify this giant beast!

Cheers

Could it be a Witteman-Lewis XNBL Barling bomber with a different engine layout?

Apparently not the same aircraft as an SON-1

Looks like W-style engines - Napier Lion?

Aha- Tarrant Tabor!

also designed by Barling.

Well done!

Never heard of the Tarrant Tabor before but you learn something every day...however what an unfortunate aircraft!

Marcogrifo, can you help me?

I know there's a copy of Aerofan magazine with information about this elusive aircraft made by CMASA in 1937. Would you be able to collect some information and if possible pics?
The only material I found was a "doctored" pic on 1000 aircraftphotos
Thanks and cheers

Hi AMCKen,
they should be two different airplanes, one NAF XOSN1 (serial number 0385) which is my offer that Graeme identified and NAF SON1 (serial number 1166) which is your picture.
Please consult Aerofiles.
Ciao

I know they're not the same, just intrigued by the similarity in the designation. OSN and SON. : )

Ok, I'll give another whack at it, and I couldn't find this one posted yet:

 

[Waynos]

Heinkel He 274 built in France? I t may have had a froggy name too but I regret I cannot recall it.

Incidentally, the Tabor never did fly, the Barling bomber was basically the Tabor rebuilt in the USA with the engine arrangement (the root of the outcome of its disastrous attempt to fly) fixed.

Nicely done mon ami!

Dear carson,
digging in my little collection of Aerofan paper magazines (and PDFs), the only mention I've found about C.M.A.S.A. BGA comes from issue 1/1982, where, in an article called "A medium bomber for the Regia Aeronautica" regarding all prototypes proposed to R.A. by italian manufacturers following the specification issued in 1934, there are only these two little paragraphes on BGA:

...The aeronautical concern linked up with Fiat submitted two separate projects: Ing. Rosatelli's BR.20 and Ing. Stiavelli's BGA. Both these types qualified for development and construction of one prototype of each was comitted to Fiat-Aeronautica d'Italia and C.M.A.S.A. respectively.

And:

...in 1936 Giovanni De Briganti took C.M.A.S.A.'s BGA (M.M.295) to its maiden flight. Althought featuring all-metal construction and two A.80 RC.41 engines, this machine was not followed up.

In that article there are also a photo (the middle one) and a profile for that machine:

I'm sorry I can't help you more...

Cheers

No one has replied to this thread? Sounds like something y'all could help with.
