Messerschmitt M 28 ? Or something in that series ?

Wunper 24th Feb 2006 17:17

Not German but the right side of the pond Bert

MReyn24050 24th Feb 2006 18:35

What about the channel is it a tunnel too far? UK or the Continent?

Saab Dastard 24th Feb 2006 19:40

If not German how about French? Potez...43?

Or perhaps Latecoere L.28?

Bert Stiles 24th Feb 2006 21:03

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.

Wunper 24th Feb 2006 22:56

SD Neither German or French but very warm on date with the Latecoere L.28
Bert not Swedish either.

jabberwok 24th Feb 2006 23:48

It's not a Fokker but is it Dutch?

MReyn24050 25th Feb 2006 11:35

How about the Swiss. Comte AC-8 "Jungfrau" or perhaps the Dutch Koolhoven F.K.43?

Wunper 25th Feb 2006 13:23

Not Dutch or Swiss but from Yerp & further clue it was a record breaker.

Italian then? Macchi?

MReyn24050 25th Feb 2006 15:10

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.

Saab Dastard 25th Feb 2006 15:38

Seaplane or landplane?

fernytickles 25th Feb 2006 16:33

I was going to suggest the Savoia-Marchetti S.55

MReyn24050 25th Feb 2006 16:48

fernyfreckles

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.

Wunper 25th Feb 2006 16:48

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

Over to you W:ok:

MReyn24050 25th Feb 2006 17:54

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.
