I think your drawings are the CASA 209 (powered by Napiers) with the HFB209 (powered by Allisons) as the top image but I can't understand the tail config. RR

Congratulation Ridge Runner

It's the HFB 209 design ,passenger and freight versions.

It was a Pohlmann design in Spain and later in Germany ,when he returned to it's wartime B&V.

Open house now

Cheers

Richard

Interesting LM...looks US. The tail is very similar to the Okay SK1 so I'm wondering if this is the proposed, but never built, 10 seat passenger development?

G'day one11. Logged in quickly to say Werkspoor Jumbo, but I don't think your biplane is as big as that. May I ask if it was built and flown?

Hi Guys,

Yes Drawbarz , the 1929 4 seat Bristol 110A. The unbuilt 110 was to have been a 3 seater using many Bulldog components, while the improved 4 seat 110A's production costs exceeded the planned sale price, so just the one was built.

You have control.

Sorry, not a Bloch. Not from France. Construction stopped on the single prototype when WW II began.

Noyade is correct. The land version was to be called the RWD-24. You have control.
