I certainly will – even though I understand it to be the PMB-78 and the registration mark to be F-PYFO! So over to you, wout.
Salut Avion Ancien,
would you please post the un-doctored photo of this rarity?
The censored pic is fine for the duration of the game, but the photoholics like me are all frustrated if we can’t file the right pic with the right name…
Merci d’avance et encore bravo pour tes trouvailles archéoptérixiennes.
Pour moi ce sujet est un vrai bonheur. This thread is a real treasure.
HEER is German Army, but I don’t recognise the insignia between the serial number.
Czech?
it is a German eisernes kreuz (iron cross) with an Irish roundel grafitti over it.

Naah. Zis iz a French thing. A flying Frog!
I’d say Chantiers Aéro-Maritimes de la Seine, CAMS fifty-something-ish.
Can’t quite nail it down, though.
Thank you for the un-erased photo.
I don’t know where I got mine. I am not organized enough to keep track of the sites I visit.
The other info I have is that this Weymann CTW-66 was entered in the “aviation coloniale” competition COL 3 of 1930, which was eventually won by the SPCA IX type 90 Col 3. In 1933 the model 66 was rejected and Weymann stopped making planes (He had a car business originally).
Burnelli GX-3 indeed. Over to you, Fleet Shadower.
This is the only photo I have of the Weymann:
Looks like a smaller version of the quizz photo, only with the markings not erased. Rlucas, do you have the bigger version un-erased?
For the next challenge, something a lot less obscure:
I think it is the Weymann CTW-66 colonial trimotor
It really looks like one of the early Sikorsky flying boats, s-36 / S-38 or so, only without a boat hull.
Nubin,
the caption in the IPTC fields of the Albatros photo reads:
between April 6 and April 12, 1987, Wadi Doum, Chad —
Czech-made Aero L-39 fighter planes are among the Libyan armaments captured by ‘Forces Armees Nationales Chadiennes’ (FANT), or National Army of Chad. The FANT mission in early 1987 was to reconquer the Borkou-Ennedi-Tibesti Prefecture and recover the territory in northern Chad that had been under Libyan control.

FYI there is also another photo of the Mil Mi-24 Hind and SA-6s abandoned by the fleeing Libyans.
(Gaddafool’s army is a piece of work 😀 )

SAAF 1970’s
Wow! Great photo!
So many memories…
Bristol 163 Buckingham?
It’s the Albessard Biplane of 1914.
Albessard indeed, but this one is supposed to be the Autostable of 1912.
Bravo John.
