Thats a surprise! I have just found that the Kessel 25 was a glider and had nothing to do with a picture I found of the HE 70. Still it did say it was a mail plane which was correct.
I will scan some photos of the two types for comparison soon.


Heres the next one. Shouldn't last long I suspect.


Mel, Is this your latest WCP page?

And here it is as a mail plane with the text saying with slight modifications would make an excellent military plane.


Heres the military version with observers windows installed (and probably A bomb bay) with text saying this was taken in Bucharest after been forced down by the Romanian authorities whilst en route to Abyssinia. <1936.

Hands up who saw the aircrafts manufactures name printed on the panel?
Thanks Mel for letting me know of this oversight!
I have another here ready to post if warranted.

IIRC didn't Rolls Royce use a He70 as the air test platform for the Merlin? Read somewhere that it gave rise to the elliptical wing on the Spitfire.

Akubra's challenge.

You do not seem to be having a whale of a time with your challenge but perhaps I should not harp on about it.

I thought that we had this aircraft before, however, after checking the list it appears not. Rather surprising really.

But my guess is the Mitchel B-25.

Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon, per chance ?
Thanks for the clue, Mel

The Incivil Beast's challenge...

The CAP-10, a French sport aircraft, methinks.

Ozbeowulf,

My money is on you, though it is quite a bit different from the Cap 10 I occassionally get to fly.

Probably the nicest 'plane I get my hands on.

BSD.

BSD...

I'm almost certain it's a CAP-10, probably a B model.

The panel shape, mixture and throttle controls, twin booted sticks, offset radio subpanel and a "NO SMOKING" sign in French all match up.

But we'll see what The Incivil Beast has to say....

Cheers,

Glenn

Sorry for the delay folks, it has been a very busy Sunday, including an unscheduled visit to Mr Plod's office 'cause the IncivilCar was broken into last night.

It's indeed a CAP-10B (French mil., actually, not the one depicted below)

The next challenge...

Merci, le bête sauvage...

I'm sorry to hear about your break-in. I hope the damage and/or loss was minimal.

Here's the next cockpit challenge....

Thanks folks, no loss (except for a 20 year old flashlight) and damage was minimal.

British single,late thirties (wireless), possibly amphibian ?
