One of those early Russian jobbies - Ilia Mouramets or something?

Sorry, not Russian. Ilya Muromets (aka Bert Stiles' winnebago) figured in this thread a while ago.

Glasshouse shape at the front really rings a bell but must be too much red wine this evening to sort it

Does that rule out Flying Boats as well? My thoughts were the Latecoere 521. However if it does rule out Flying Boats how about it being a Farmen F220?

Not a flying boat. Neither a Latecoere nor a Farman. This type was a passenger transport.

If not a Farmen the Vickers 66 Vimy Commercial perhaps? This one also has an open cockpit I think.

Mel,

Sorry for the delay. I had connection problems.

It's not a Vimy, nor British. European twin-engined biplane, 15+ passengers.

The only two aircraft that I thought might fit the bill were the Farman Goliath and the Junkers 37 but you have ruled these out.

Methinks you have won this time Cringe.

Nah, you'll get there. Late '20s, derived from a bomber. Not German.

Pigboat has it. Loire et Olivier LeO 213 "Rayon d'Or" was derived from the LeO 20 bomber. 13 examples built.



Your go, pigboat.

If that's a Rayon d'Or, I'd hate to see what the Rayon de Plomb looked like.

I have exhausted my meagre collection of cockpit pics, so please go ahead cringe.

Six throttles and you said you are on my side of the Atlantic (although I actually am deployed on the FAR side of the ocean), so it was easy.

I have to pass my opportunity, unable to do the needed electronic wizardry using Uncle's computers.

Free for all.....
