Afternoon LM

I think it's the Alco No. 1 ??

Edit:

Hello Ken (your light is on) Will you be around this evening?

I've just found what looks like the challenge, seems it was made by Allen and Malcolm Loughead!

Afternoon Trevor....the Alco No 1 is another name for the Loughead G (or at least according to wiki it is!).

Hope you've had a good weekend?

Edit....will be around for a few hours, but early start tomorrow...so if correct I'll be declaring OH.

Hi Ken,

Had a very busy weekend thanks.

I was just digging a bit deeper after finding the picture as per my edit above, I hadn't looked at Wiki yet, but I'm relieved that you've got there first as I was just having a quick look in before I have to go again and am not sure for how long yet and didn't want to ask for another OH!!!

Edit:

Just had a look at Wiki, you're dead right there, it is the same machine , serves me right for looking at the more obscure sites first!!

That's the way it seems Ken.

A good fight, but I must give it to you..........

Skytrain owns the thread - and don't you dare OH it!!!!!

Thanks David - and I managed to find it without referring to Breguet's!

Ok...I'll put an easy one up. I'll be closing down around 2200-2230, so if it's not gone by then (and I'm sure it will have done), I'll declare it nul and void and make it Open House.

Good evening.

I think we had something like yours (remember the funny "caved-in" area just behind the cockpit). As far as remember, it was Romanian, then….

No, its Italian, Ambrosini SAI.207

I figured out by now... front section reminds me of a Reggiane, but I can't find the right one...

Now you will tell me that it's not Italian either...

Did you lot hear from FH again after his couple of appearances here?

Well followed.

It's the Reggiane Re.2003

Héja was developed from Reggiane Re.2000, and 2003 is a variant of 2000…..

Over to you
