    OT: “de Munchausen PTOO Fliegenderrettungsring”

    AA, are you sure this is authentic?

    In Germany, “Baron Münchhausen” is synonym for liar!:eek:

    Even it is only for the first class, I can’t imagine how this thing could be stowed in the aircraft and in case of emergency fixed to the user.

    Also, I am not able to google out a secondary source for it (correct German spelling: “Von Münchhausen Fliegender Rettungsring”).

    I hope I don’t destroy too many illusions.:o

    Thank you for your translation work, Wiesso!:)

    To resume:

    1)J-BCHZ: “Navy type 15” is the Nakajima E2N, regarding the “Francillon”.

    2)J-BJDI: Although my conclusion was right, the difference to a “regular” Aichi E3A is still unclear.

    3)J-BJDO: “90 type 2” is confirmed, but also here, the difference to a “regular” Nakajima E4N2/3 is still unclear.

    “Air release pipe” is the exhaust? It looks like Ando’s undertook conversions of floatplanes.

    Oops, German!

    The trouble with these Klemms is you normally consider them as very small aircraft. But in fact it has a longer wingspan (12 m) than the Bf 109 has (9.9 m)!

    Thank you!

    Thank you Al!:)

    What I don’t see in the Aerofiles pictures is the special front-end configuration of my picture. But I think you are right anyway.

    So Islamic, but not Arab!:diablo:

    Thank you for the answers and let me quote from the link Newforest gave:

    A Hawker Hurricane, L2079, was shipped to Iran for a six-month test on July 28, 1939. It arrived at Ahvaz and was flown to Tehran by Hawker test pilot Richard Reynell on 18 October. An order was placed for 30 Hurricanes with Merlin III engines, but the Air Ministry only agreed to release 15, to be despatched during the period March-September 1940. The contract for these was concluded in December 1939, but delivery was delayed by problems with the development of a tropical air filter. A second aircraft, P3270, was flown in Persian colours in Great Britain in May 1940 (s/n 252), but was probably never sent. The Air Ministry finally suspended the Hurricane order in December 1940.
    When only half of the Hurricane order was released for delivery it was quickly decided to build the remaining 15 aircraft at the Iranian Aircraft Factory and raw material and finished parts were ordered in Great Britain early in 1941. For political reasons (strong German influence in Iran) the material needed for the Hurricane production was held up, however, in order not to strengthen the IIAF. In June it was decided to send material for 12 Hurricane Mk IIs with Merlin XX engines instead, with the first shipment due for immediate departure. The material was in fact released only in order to retain the British personnel still working at the Iranian Aircraft Factory – Technical Adviser Frank Knight and eleven other Englishmen. With political tension building up there were new delays and on August 25, the export licence for the material was withdrawn.

    On the picture I think to see an English hedge landscape underneath, so we probably see the second Hurricane trainer which was probably never sent to Iran.

    With this forum I am always happy, even if my hobby sometimes drives me crazy. But thank you for asking, Wilkofife. Of course I am thankful for all the work Archer showed here, and for Mr. Aeroclubs comments. But I am still not completely sure how to correctly label my picture.:o:(
