The Falke had a very slim fuselage; the engine instruments were mounted on nacelles.

Mel's challenge

Sepp has it.
It is indeed the Focke Wulf Fw 187 Falke.


You have control.

I have to say - that was a good one. Its good to see the Falke getting some rare time in the limelight.

I'm off on hols for a bit and may not be able to check in here so, open house!

Certainly not a Fokker F-VII as that has been done before (twice).

Your right Cubs2jets this is not the Fokker F-VII, in fact is not from Fokker at all.

Nearly 500 views only one taker. Time for a clue this aircraft was single engine and European.

Not the Heinkel He-57 Heron Bri. This one was a landplane and first flew a couple of years earlier than the He-57.

One is thinking one of Willy's designs. Perhaps the M18 or M 20?
