Northrop C-120 Raider

Few Raiders were built….this one (pic from excellent Stinsonflyer site) was in an Arctic Rescue unit….Canadair negotiated a licence but did not build any

Republic Rainbow

Republic produced the XR-12 photo reconnaissance aircraft at the end of WWII….the high speed Rainbow airliner project was derived from it and Pan Am expressed an interest (pic from Stinsonflyer site…home of some great photos)

How a Pan Am Rainbow might have looked…

Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer

JF Airlines services from Portsmouth to the Channel Islands about 1971 was a rare use of the Twin Pioneer in the U.K….it was slower than some helicopters. The YAK-40 jet (I-JAKA) had been demonstrated to JF Airlines on Portsmouth’s grass airfield a few days before I took this photo….I wonder if someone has a pic of the YAK-40 there

Agusta AZ-8

Thanks, keithnewsome….a Flightglobal pic on this link
http://flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1958/1958-1-%20-%200148.html?search=agusta%20az-8

on that page there’s a mention of a ‘Republic Rainbow’ pitched between the Viscount and Electra in size with Dart or T-64 engines…a new one for me …I’d heard of the 1946 Rainbow, piston powered though……also came across an Agusta AZ.1 project with twin Proteus turboprops on another Flight page

Clarification

Sorry, avion ancien, I’ve moved the captions around to make it clear….it referred to my shot from Blackbushe , not the one you bought

Could you continue on the new thread (Less Common Transport Aircraft) so this one doesn’t go onto a second page… I changed the title so we could discuss transport aircraft from all periods ….regards, Mick

and on 1000 aircraft photos the Nene version of the Bretagne, the SO-30R

I’ve restarted the thread as ‘Less Common Transport Aircraft’ to cover all periods so I shall post the Bretagne pic on there shortly as a crossover

Breda Transports

Breda Zappata BZ308 and Breda 44 company photos, web sources…Breda Pittoni BP471 company photo scanned from Janes A.W.A 1951/52 (info Air Britain ab-ix forum/and Tony Pratt)… registered I-BIPI very appropriate :)… The historical group ISEC say they’ll add some more pics of the BP471 to this Breda Aeronautica album on Flickr soon

Does anyone on this forum know if the Breda 44 really contained any design elements of the DH Dragon or Rapide, or it is just a myth that Breda had a DH licence?

Thanks, l.carey….wonderful photos…it’s so hard to find records of the 2 year S. Atlantic landplane service by LATI

De Gaulle n’a jamais voyage a bord de cet avion

My school boy quality French translates this as ‘never flew on this plane’ not as the auto translator says ‘forever’ 🙂
