Nice challenge RR! Nicely done skytrain10! Had a close look at the photo this morning, is it my eyes or has the propeller been painted onto the photo and it's off-centre?

The Pobjoy Niagara had an unusual off-set from centre for a radial engine due to a reduction gear housing.

Thanks for the info guys. I thought a radial was just a radial and they were all the same.

Hi Richard. It's not the answer but it reminds me, just a little, of the German Rhein-Flugzeugbau RW3-A3 "Multoplane." Any company connection to your image?

Have we ventured to Spain this time? A CASA variant??? The 401? Maybe an AEW machine????? Ys.. I'm crazy!


Actually the top image looks like a totally different aircraft!

Actually the 401 was to have 4 engines so bang goes my theory!!! So, a different angle.... Swedish? A SAAB machine?

Back to my first thought.... the CASA 209? If not then how about the HFB209 development of it with Allisons?
