"Well don't get your feet wet."" ?????????????????????????

Another pic

[chevvron]

Not the one I was thinking of.(I was thinking Lake LA 4)

[Asturias56]

a reasonable number of these were built and I think they are still around - it went under a couple of (similar) names - also several versions.

[D26]

Meyers 200. I am not sure about the warning not to get the feet wet? Leaking windshield?

And for a little light relief aircraft recognition gurus might enjoy

[Asturias56]

the reference to wet feet was because chevvron thought it was a seaplane.

But its the Meyers/Air Commander 200 - rather a nice aircraft but it cost quite a bit more than the competition and so had limited success - I think there are 70+ still flying

over to D26

[D26]

Quite an interesting story regarding the production of the Meyer 200. All virtually hand built, therefore not suitable for an assembly line.

Open House, please!

[chevvron]

Now I would have glanced at one and said 'Navion'.

[Asturias56]

They sold a lot more Navions - cheaper for a start.................. interesting article in a recent edition of Flying comparing the two for those who want to buy a used one

[chevvron]

Fokker!!?
Camel and countryside possibly Australian?

[Noyade]

Not a Fokker.
Not Australia.
Possibly Cape Judy Peninsula.

[chevvron]

So what part of the world is Cape Judy? Never heard of it in the UK.

[India Four Two]

Looks like an autocorrect, Chevvron. Try Cape Juby in Morocco.

[chevvron]

Definitely says 'Judy' on my machine, but I never heard of 'Juby' either.

The Latécoère 25 has a match in exhaust pipe.
But corrugated body panels seem not to match.

[sycamore]

Think the corrugated parts are part of the radiator/oil coolers...

Tis the 26 - but 25 will do me.
Not a great deal between them and I didn't show you much of the aircraft.
