Words fail me - so I gave ya bacon! Well done Dave! =D>
Gotta be it....

Thank you, Sir!

I know I had seen it before, just couldn't recall until Wojtek said it was French.

Even then, I couldn't recall the type's name, but I did remember it's designer:
Louis Schreck - and he wasn't a big grean ogre

Thanks!

And yes, that looks real close!

Graeme · Dec 3, 2021

Yeah, well done guys. I was stuck on a twin pusher concept - mostly bombers. Dunno why.

Cleaned up the engine front on the US Coast Guard Viking....

The Type 17 had quite a few variations starting in the early 20's and even some serving up to WWII (when the U.S. became involved) with the US Coast Guard - not a bad run for any type, to be honest.

Well done guys. Congrats Dave. That's the FBA 17HE2

Andy was really very close with the CAMS 30E. Both the flying boats were the equipment of the MDL ( Naval Squadron) in Puck.
The last one or two Schrecks were destroyed by Germans in the September 1939.

I've tried several times to edit a photo on this phone with no luck (have I mentioned that I hate this phone?)

So I give up - Andy, would you like to take over the turn?

Crimea_River · Dec 5, 2021

No thanks. Someone else take the lead please.

Dave - happy to get a PM message with your image - crop where you want - and then hand back?

Found this crazy film with the Schreck FBA 17.

Wurger · Dec 6, 2021

Yep .. that's a part of the pre-war Polish movie from 1935 and titled "Rapsodia Bałtyku" - Baltic Rapsody.
Also you may see the destroyer ORP Wicher, the hulk ORP Bałtyk and the float plane Lublin R-XIII of the MDL ( the Naval Squadron)

Although I have not participated in this thread I may have an aircraft componant which may stump. I am continually amazed by the knowledge here.

Exhaust shield - possibly from a sports car?

special ed · Dec 6, 2021

It is an aircraft part normally inside cabin.

All stainless steel.

Thanks for the offer, Graeme.

This phone is just a handful - it was supposed to be temporary and here we are, 2 1/2 years later.

It's not a top of the line device plus I'm not connected to WiFi but on Data, so posting images, links and such, is hit and miss.

Airframes · Dec 6, 2021

Possibly a hear shield over a heater source, or perhaps a basket to hold an oxygen bottle ?

special ed · Dec 6, 2021

No. It is over 72 years old

Wurger · Dec 6, 2021

A cabin air filter?
