[Capt. Vick]

Italian then?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

 

[norab]

Not Italian, this should do it, the same company later built 109's

 

[Airframes]

So a Hispano tri-motor something or other - don't know the name/number, and too stiff to get a book off the shelf!

 

[wuzak]

It's an Avia 57

 

[norab]

Close wuzak,

 

[Airframes]

Ah, Czech then. Hmmm........

 

[wuzak]

Close wuzak,

OK..so I didn't look carefully enough at the pictures.

It must be the Avia 51

 

[norab]

Well done wuzak, and that's the same picture I would have posted. Your turn.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I've never seen that one before, very interesting.

 

[wuzak]

Well done wuzak, and that's the same picture I would have posted. Your turn.

I must admit it was Google to the rescue.

That and the clue about building 109s.

 

[wuzak]

Try this one

 

[Airframes]

Good one, and I hadn't seen that one either.
The new one is vaguely familiar, but don't know what it is!

 

[norab]

a little friendly bump

 

[wuzak]

Oh yeah...forgot all about this.

A clue. This aircraft was re-engined, and there was only one of them.

 

[Procrastintor]

Is it an HE-51? Or maybe a CR.42? I can tell it's some sort of late 30's early 40's biplane.

 

[wuzak]

Earlier than that.

Could say this one was punked.

 

[Airframes]

Only one of them - so not at all rare then !
I have no idea, other than a biplane with the engine sticking out the top!

 

[wuzak]

It only had a couple of cylinders.

 

[Procrastintor]

Is that a gun in the nose cone?
