Re: familiarity, I first thought it could be Blackburn Ribbon (not having seen the Ribbon tail yet) and thinking that the small aircraft in the background (and the general outlook of the museum) would imply Finland where the only Ribbon II F left is (and the small one would be PIK-23). All wrong. The Ribbon has not been restored, PIK-23 is not in the museum (and has different L/G). And the tail, of course is different. So: Square one, hop-hop!

I reckon Far East is the location shown, not sure where yet. However i don't think the macchine is necessarily from tha part of the world. Anyway I'll take a stab at at least being Asian?

THIS IS NOT FAIR!

In the very beginning, I went to Wold Aviation Museums thread to see if any pic would lead me to the correct museum.

The Bankok thing, DOES NOT SHOW ANY PICTURES, at least not for me http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post2380033

Ant the first one would have been the correct one

Maybe, but can I go through all museums there are? Thought pprune would lead someone somewhere useful....

Yes, Your Royal Meanness!
