There is a swallow logo between the two persons.
But no clue which make it refers to

[Noyade]

The Greek KEA - "Swallow" - ?

[esreverlluf]

Some kind of Heinkel / Svenska collaboration?

[Asturias56]

Ahhh - progress...................... here's some other pics of the challenge to fill in the time until tomorrow

Time has flown so I can confirm Noyade was is correct - the Greek built KEA Chelidon ("Swallow")

I think it was the second aircraft designed & built in Greece . They had a lot of technical support from Blackburn. According to the reports there wasn't much wrong with it except its performance was poor cp more recent, foreign aircraft. I suspect it was seriously underpowered - as I said the prototype soldiered on to around 1938 so it was a well built airframe

One of the few better looking Blackburn designs !

[Noyade]

Thanks A56 - and thanks for the oesophageal (Swallow) clue SLB.

An easy crop?

I presume the little propeller is driving a target winch.


PS Is it a Blackburn Roc?

[Noyade]

It is a target winch. Not a Blackburn Roc.

I call that a Blackburn Botha.

The meat isn’t that bad especially when cooked a point.

Can't bring myself to eat part of the national coat of arms. Never tried it - never will.
