aviate1138's challenge

You are not barging in at all aviatte1138 it was your call after Post# 2871. We do not seem to be getting a response from atb1943. I am certain it is the Ilyushin Il-96 and as both Bri and 8028410q stated most probably the Il-96M/T. I am more than happy for your challenge to run.

Apols Mel, was away, you are correct, in fact it was parked next to the 114 above (Le Bourget somewhen).

Don't know the git on the right, lady on left is wife of git's colleague, all the way from Denver, Colorado.

The IL people were using the cargo hold as their chalet, good vodka!
cheers

p.s. in fact, here you see the entrance to the 'chalet'! Photos: Ilyushin Il-96M Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net

All right then I'll have a go at aviate1138's challenge.
Obviously a well looked after Gentleman's aerial conveyance.
Even so a wild stab, the Desoutter I

Not many were made of this particular model but variations were produced in more than there are fingers on one's hands and toes.

Well Done! evansb it's all yours.

Miss C Johnston had the Waco YPF-6 [only 2 made I believe] painted in her favourite colours. She owned it for 6 months. Back in 1935. Coupe Top was an original Waco offering on a number of their models.

As a Canadian, I eagerly endorse any enclosed cockpit! Here is the next "What Cockpit?"

The fact that the rest of the world only built open cockpits forced our forefathers to design and build in Canada during the early 1920's.

Just think, in an effort to keep their ears and toes warm in winter they created an industry which gainfully employs thousands. Thank God for cold weather!

'Scuse the OT.

Back on thread, could it be a Bollingbroke??

Sorry, not a SAAB 18. It is similar in configuration, however, and it carried a crew of 3.
