Messerschmitt M 28 ? Or something in that series ?
|
Not German but the right side of the pond Bert
|
What about the channel is it a tunnel too far? UK or the Continent?
|
If not German how about French? Potez...43?
Or perhaps Latecoere L.28? |
Saab ......I don't think it'll be your Potez and it ain't the Late. I reckon it's one of your's 'cos weren't the Swedes the only other European nation to drive on the left like us Brits ?
- I'm stumped for now. Apologies for second guessing. |
SD Neither German or French but very warm on date with the Latecoere L.28
Bert not Swedish either. |
It's not a Fokker but is it Dutch?
|
How about the Swiss. Comte AC-8 "Jungfrau" or perhaps the Dutch Koolhoven F.K.43?
|
Not Dutch or Swiss but from Yerp & further clue it was a record breaker.
W |
Italian then? Macchi?
|
Not American, Canadian, Swiss, Swedish,British,German, Dutch or French. How about Italian perhaps Savoia-Marchetti S.64
Italian Fliers Set New Endurance Record Of 58 Hr. 37 Min. in a Savoia-Marchetti (Aviation) S.64. June 11, 1928 However I am going on breaking records not sure of the size of the aircraft apart from it being single engined. |
Seaplane or landplane?
|
I was going to suggest the Savoia-Marchetti S.55
|

I also was going to say that but the SM S-55 was a two engined aircraft, two engines in tandam formation. Wunper agreed it was a single engined aircraft. |
MReyn24050 you are on !
It's the Cockpit of the elegant Savioa Marchetti S.64 I-SAAV In 1928 Major Carlo Del Prete and Captain Arturo Ferrarin set two world records with this machine. In June they flew a closed circuit distance of 4140Nm in 58 1/2 hours In July they set a world record distance of 4023Nm with a transatlantic flight from Rome to Touros Beach at Port Natal in Brasil in just over 44hrs quite a remarkable machine powered by a Fiat A.22 engine. Here are a couple of pictures http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/S64group.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../S64sketch.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/S64close.jpg Over to you W:ok: |
Thank you wunper. That was an excellant challenge. I would love to know where you got the photograph of the cockpit from but can understand if you wish to keep the source a secret. This I am sure will not last as long as yours did.
