The game rules:
A contributor posts a photograph of an aircraft to identify. Either use your own picture or be prepared to acknowledge its origin when finally identified (beware copyright).
The first forumite to identify the aircraft (confirmed by whoever posted the picture) gets the right to post the next one, and so on.
If he or she wishes to desist, “open house” is declared and anyone can post the next picture.
Only manned aircraft that have actually flown allowed, so no missiles/drones and no obscure unbuilt projects or flights of fancy.
A variant is to post a relatively well-known type but to ask a question as to when, where, why or who is in it.
Timing: in order not to block the thread for too long, if there is no sign of an answer or a guess within 48 hours, the poster should offer a clue. If nothing within another 24 hours, a second clue. 24 hours later the answer should be given and a new “wot plane” posted, this time as “open house”.
“Open house” automatically takes effect if the one with the right to post the next picture fails to do so 48 hours after confirmation by the previous poster.
Ok, here’s the idea. The first one to ID each aircraft (confirmed by whoever posted the picture) gets the right to post the next one, and so on. Only manned aircraft that have actually flown since 1939, so no missiles/drones and no obscure unbuilt projects or flights of fancy. Anyone up for it? Incidentally, this was originally an idea by Joglo on another forum. I’ll kick off with this one-

Just going to bump this one to the fore again. The engines appear to be Salmsons. What nationallity. At first I thought French.

Looks like Breguet type construction?

Guys,
Your heading in the right direction! John, engines are correct, Salmson’s they are indeed…
It is not a construction by Breguet, it is from the same country though!

Hi
is it the Aviméta AVM 132 ?
Best regards
By: Arabella-Cox - 31st March 2025 at 15:11
Hi Guys,
JP had it right! The Avimeta 132 it is. Interesting all metal french airliner prototype from the 30’s. Just a one off though…
JP, you’re in control!

I have no idea, what it is.:o
It certainly has attributes of a racing plane.

John your feeling is very strong 😀
John’s intuition led me to the
Mikhelson MK-1 Ryibka of 1923.
