RR and Mel, I see you on the thread.

Would you consent with me that, with this link, we can determine TC's Open House actionable. I am sure Graeme would not object.

Planeshots - Savoia-Marchetti S.55s in formation

Best
Reg

PS to Graeme: I was not upset a bit. Thanks and good night.

Yeah we do! Just don't know what it is.

First thought was the Boulton and Paul P.31.
Second thought, Fokker YO-27/XB-8.

Neither fit, so third thought.......French?

(Good call on the S-55 gents!)

Good morning / evening gentlemen,

Would you like to elaborate, Graeme?

Morning Mate,

No, it is not.

Edit: And I need to add that the silhouette is from a drawing; it appears that the built version did not have an open cockpit.

Well, it ain't a Boulton Paul.

Is the "hump" a part of the wing trailing edge?

The hump is an aileron.

Edit: Unsolicited clue: Take about two dozens out of the so far best guess, and you are there. And do it before TC drops by

Correct Graeme.

The silhouette is from FrightGlobal 1919, and the drawing is a bit different from the 3Ds elsewhere.
