Looks more like the Pup to me - but I am probably wrong:8

Both wrong!

It's the Snipe!
And should this be confirmed after I've gone bo-boes, please someone else have a go. |

Ilynshin 14. In fact it is Avia AV-14t of the Czech Air Force.
This is the bird I think. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...AviaAv-14T.jpg |
Correct:ok:

Thanks forget. Staying with large multi-engined aircraft I am sure this will be no problem. Sorry the quality is not that good.

A wild guess before I head out the door to earn a crust......
An FW 200 Kondor perhaps? |
Not the FW 200. This aircraft was designed late 1930s.
|
He 116 ?
Mel, are we right in thinking German ? Clint. |

Sorry for the delay, guests for the evening. No, not the He 116. Not German but right side of the Channel/North Sea. Mel |
How about a Bloch MB-161 ?
|
cringe.
Well done you are again correct. At first I was going to say no and that it was the SE. 161 "Languedoc", but it appears that the aircraft was originally the Bloch MB-161. I find that through the merger of the airline companies Blériot and Bloch, the national company SNCASE (Societé Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Sud-Est) was founded in 1939 and Project Bloch 161 was continued. The successful flight test took place by the end of 1939 and brought an order of over 40 machines from the airline company Air France. Delivery lasted for seven years since World War II provided that the series production first begin in 1946. This was primarily due to the successful stalling technique of the French manufacturers who wanted to prevent the 20 machines from being delivered from Germany in 1942. The aircraft orginally developed in Bordeaux was transported to Cannes which was located in France's unoccupied Free Zone in 1942. Under the management of German Lufthansa engineers, tests were made with the aircraft until the beginning of 1943. Marc Hurel, the Technical Director of SNCASO, attempted unsuccessfully to bring the aircraft to North Africa in order to ensure its safety. The improved successor version was first tested after the liberation of France on September 17, 1945. Series production began in 1946. In May of the same year, the model became known as the SE. 161 "Languedoc" by Air France for its scheduled service. You have control Mel |
Thanks, Mel. I wasn't entirely sure, although aware of the variants. Next challenge:

A Martin 130 Clipper?
|
Nope, sorry. It isn't American.
|
what cockpit
Let's try:
French built S.E. something Armagnac ? SE 2010-Armagnac |
The control columns seem wierd, so I'll change tack and go for a helicopter. Seems to have 4 engines. How about the Mil Mi-12?
|
Well done mikl, it was indeed the Sud-Est SE 2010 Armagnac. Late 1940s French airliner; only 8 were built.

what cockpit
Thanks but I'd better to close my big mouth, cause I have nothing ready right now.
