Type 46a with the Le Rhone engine, according to my source.
Over to you, aa, although I hate to interrupt your mucking…..
whilst I was fast asleep!
And there was me thinking the good shepherd never slept……..:)
Here’s a wee winged wonder with a muckle motor and a preposterous propeller……
(Not a homebuild by any means)
Oops, Mr. Fife was having a senior moment-
They happen with disturbing frequency these days…apologies to both…..actually I was having great difficulty posting anything – looks like it’s better today.
The mystery from not-so-rural Texas is the Ago Ao 192 Kurier.
I liked the various Italian red herrings sprinkled around the photo -always be suspicious when Moze leaves any clue whatsoever !
Sorry for the delay, fellows.
AA is of course correct with M.Bernard’s C.P.A. 1
Over to rural France…
(I am finding the site very slow – is it just me ???)
This one is a fighter/reconnaissance machine which did not make it beyond prototype stage.
I think it’s a Thomas-Morse MB.2
Funny thing is, most Americanised words (note the non-use of the dreaded ZEE !) are a result of making things shorter and snappier.
For instance ‘color’, ‘plow’ and, god forbid, ‘sox’.
Why, then, do they religiously stick to ‘automobile’ ??????
As one who is normally unhappy about the Americanisation of English, I have to confess to using ‘program’ and ‘disk’ nowadays – anyone else ?? Honest, now !
Plus the fact that it doesn’t appear to have any undercarriage, although there is a wheel lying beside the tail…….
Latham it is, RAB. Please proceed……
aa, I respectfully suggest that my photo and yours show exactly the same aircraft, and that your 3-view is the odd man out. Check out the long undercarriage struts, and the number of cylinders, of the machine in the photos,in comparison with the drawing, which I suspect is of a different project.
Maybe someone out there knows the Bassou story……
Here, in the meantime, is a large and rustic floater to keep things sailing along…
I thought I recognised this little fellow – or one very like it- how about a non-grainy pic ?
The SCAL Rubis 01, ?
Skytrain got it – the Nihon Hikoki X1G conversion of a SAAB Safir for a high-lift research programme.
I’m sure the end plates were designed to be rented out to some brewing company for advertising purposes……
Over to Wales.
Here’s a familiar machine which has been tweaked a bit.
That, sir, is an Aeromarine 50B.
