Silhouette challenge

[evansb]

Sorry, not the Breda Ba.32.

[skytrain10]

Caproni Ca-132?

[skytrain10]

Closing down for the night, so if correct...Open House.

Good night all.

[evansb]

skytrain10 is correct. Well done. The Caproni Ca-132 was designed with consideration as a passenger airliner and as a bomber. I see you have delared OPEN HOUSE.

[sablatnic]

A Caproni. Should have stayed up a bit longer, tempting bed and all, but no. Congrats skytrain10. I'm off to my brothers birthdayparty now. Have a good day.

I should have kept my big mouth shut, it was italian and a Caproni so I cut a poor figure!...However I understand it is open house so may I present the following for identification?:

Hello Carson, would that be the Bechereau SB3te, an aeroplane almost as ugly as the Bristol Racer?

[carson1934]

Bravo S'land it is the Bechereau SB3Ter, the ball is yours.
I'm sorry for delaying my reply but as repeatedly told, this system lets me log in with great difficulty and only after many many trials. What a nuisance!

[S'land]

Thanks Carson.Sorry to hear about your log-in problems and hope they clear up soon.

Here is the next one.

[Noyade]

Good evening S'land. The Gabardini G.9bis?

[carson1934]

Hi Graeme
I don't mean to interfere with your last post but if your answer about the Gabardini is correct (I have no pic of this A/C) then the aircraft in question is a creature of the great engineer Filippo Zappata who worked with Gabardini for only 8 months I believe in 1922.
Forgive my enthusiasm but I'm a distant relative of Filippo Zappata and if you wish I could supply a link (in italian) about this prominent man.
Cheers and again sorry to meddle.

Added note to Carson1934

Good evening (for you) Noyade and well done. It is indeed the Gabardini G.9 fighter. Built in 1923 by S.A. Aeronautica Gabardini (later to become CANSA then FIAT) it was developed in parallel with the G.8 it was powered by a 220hp SPA 6a engine.

You have control.

P.S. Carson1934. Zappata. I understand that working for Gaberdini was his first job in the civilian world. However, I thought that he was in Cameri for a couple of years at least. I must be wrong.

[carson1934]

Hi S'land,
please check PM concerning Zappata's biography.
Cheers

[Noyade]

Thanks S'land and interesting connection Carson.

OPEN HOUSE

[drawbarz]

Lets try this



I expect it won't last too long...

John

[sablatnic]

Good morning. Sure look quite a lot like the Nemesis NXT.
If it should be, then open house. Again.

[drawbarz]

Hi sablatnic,

It certainly is the Sharp Nemesis NXT





So as you have already declared...open house

John

[Noyade]

New one. A project, but based on an aircraft already in production. All I want is the name of the manufacturer...

[carson1934]

in my endless ignorance could it be a Dornier?
carson

[sablatnic]

It has a somewhat North American-ish look. Could it be a German one off, made by salvaged parts of whatever?
