Certainly looks as though it is from the Millennium Falcon but this device was very much designed and built and fitted to real aircraft.

Graeme. There are many types of Lamblin radiators however I will say the aircraft is French and the object in the photograph is a radiator.

Confess to never having noticed this style of radiator before.

How about the SPAD 81bis racer?

Not the SPAD 81bis, this aircraft was a multi-engined aircraft.

How about that French design that demonstrates it is possible to get a brick to fly if you put wings on it - Amiot 142?

This aircraft designed and built to in the 1930s to meet a commercial requirement. It was a four-engined aircraft. It was not from Farmen or Amiot.

Cheers for now!
