A Bretagne?

that's not a DC-4 wing, is it? And wasn't the 4 a three-prop machine?

Looks like a Bretagne, but there again that had 3 bladed props I think?

I'm guessing its Troyes airport in France?

The Bretagne had two engine options. The nacelle and wing check out. Viz: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviatio.../9/0847996.jpg

Shouldn't we be seeing more dihedral and a longer wing-tip in Doug's photo?

maybe but check out the top and bottom air scoops on the nacelle, the trim balances and the hinge combing. All check exactly with the Bretagne I posted earlier, including the 4-blade prop.

And whether I'm right or wrong I think its a cool looking machine!

Undoubtedly, I remember seeing this and the Flamant in a French Television series called the "Aeronauts" in the early 70's. It was years before I figured out what they were. A bit like some of the challenges here!

Ah, the Aeronauts... two crazy fighter jocks (LMs not listening?). I think it was at Dijon

I'm also now doubting my answer - some Bretagnes had double air scoops atop the nacelle! Er ....

I'm confident again ....Google Image Result for http://www.oldprops.ukhome.net/SO30P%2037%20%27F-BANZ%27%20d1.jpg

From memory they were like Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The dubbing was awful but the aviation was superb. Vautours, Mirages, Balzac, T-33, Neptunes, etc and with a lot of aerial shots..memories.

That's what I keep seeing...



What about the outer engine of the Armagnac? Then again why does it have to be French?

Night Martin!

Morning everyone.

two crazy fighter jocks (LMs not listening?).
May I remind you that not all fighter pilots are Scottish!

Well it certainly generated a fair number of posts and if I work back through them it seems Ridge Runner was the first to get the SNCASO Bretagne , and Yesilkoy, Istanbul too.

You have control RR

Thanks Doug.

I was tempted by Skytrain10's thought of Troyes but, yes, Yesilkoy jumped out at me!

Here's an easy one....
