Surprised there were no takers Terry
Well, there was one guy looking, but for the life of him couldn't remember the name. Didn't matter though, cause in the end when the dumb bastard found it, it was completely wrong. He thought it was the Van Valkenburgh.



I am sure this one will cause no proplem:-

A pair of Cockpit Bug's Eyes, like in the C-74 Globemaster and XB-43?

But this is much older?

Thanks Mel. Very generous.
Sadly it took me quite a while to figure out the camera must've been on the floor between the seats, looking up.

Thanks as always Mel; great job

Blimey; who needs patience, the thread lives!!!

But why sixteen days without a Challenge, when a new one goes in under the hour

Well done sabredog

It is indeed the FMA Ae.T.1

The FMA AeT.1 was an airliner built in Argentina in the early 1930s. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional design, with fixed tailwheel undercarriage. Only three examples were built, christened General San Martín, Deán Funes, and Jorge Newbery. These aircraft provided Argentina's first scheduled airline services with Aero-Argentina, flying between Córdoba and Buenos Aires. The Deán Funes was also used to make a long-distance flight to Ushuaia, bringing the first mail to that town after a flight of 6,500 km (4,000 mi). Air France director Colin Jeannel flew as a passenger on that flight.
