Hi SincoTC, the Avimétal 132 is it

I donot get involved in politics (mainly because I just dont`t trust those people), but France is no longer active in South Africa on the soccer field.
I did not use the words ...involved in.. because that could have a political charge.

LM thanks very much for posting the 3-view. !

SincoTC, you are the referee for the next match

Blimey mate!

I'm not looking for clues this early, but am I correct in thinking the props are pushers?

So, where are the "cockpits" on the wings? This has the nacelles sloped rearwards and to me they appear like small engines. To me it smacks of being a small tourer, probably american.... but then what do I know!

It is American RR, but not a Bell model.

Didn't Piper produce a pusher? the PA-7 or something?

(I just checked - not that!)

Hi skytrain,

Back to work now, so OH please if correct.

RR, as you've correctly deduced, not the PA-7....but well remembered as it was indeed a pusher.

Sinco strikes again ....its the Miller HM-4 (which is a small tourer RR)




Another Open House.
