Ao 225 by AGO. Twin engine heavy fighter?

Bert Stiles 21st Feb 2006 08:14

All yours MReyn24050. Well done. Ago of Oschersleben, Aktien Gesellschaft Otto out of WWI company of slightly different name produced the Kurier, appx 9 made incl prototypes, this half finished job and another design plus all sorts under licence. Heavy fighter - all I know. Please elaborate anyone.

MReyn24050 21st Feb 2006 09:13

Thanks Bert.
Apart from the name of the project listed in a document entitled "German Military Aircraft Designations (1933-1945) and matching this with the information on the Ao 192 Kurier I also could not find no further details of the Ao 225.

You've all been having fun while I've been busy.

Well I'm back.

Sikorski S-43?

MReyn24050 21st Feb 2006 10:03

Nice to see you back, hope you had some fun as well. Sorry not the Sikorski S-43.

Well that would have been an impressive arrival if I'd been right.

It's always the details. :}

It's a flying boat or amphib, and those windscreen frames seem familiar.

I reckon it's a twin.

And American.

Ummm....

JDK 21st Feb 2006 10:12

If it's a Sikorsky JRS-1 then there will be words... :8

MReyn24050 21st Feb 2006 10:16

JDK

Yes it's an amphibian, and it's a twin.

It is also American, but not from the Sikorsky stable.

Douglas Dolphin?

(or Hall PH-3, which I don't think there are any left, so the radio in the pic don't fit)

MReyn24050 21st Feb 2006 10:30

JDK

It is the Douglas Dolphin. Welcome back. You have control.

..and I'd just convinced myself I was wrong... Lovely aircraft.

I can let the airliners go by, but if I miss a flying boat or amphibian of some age and class, I'll shoot meself. :E

Don't think we've had this one.

Bristol Beaufort perhaps or Blenhiem/Bolingbroke?

Bert Stiles 21st Feb 2006 20:19

No one seems to be about..... I'll say it's an A-26.

con-pilot 21st Feb 2006 20:23

How about a A-20 Havoc, don't see a co-pilot seat.

JDK 21st Feb 2006 22:01

Bert's correct, a Conair A-26 firebomber preserved in the Sydney BC museum.

Yours, Bert.

Sorry about the delay... cookies.

Something simple with a reasonable image....

MReyn24050 22nd Feb 2006 16:17

Douglas B-18 perhaps?

Bert Stiles 22nd Feb 2006 16:38

No ... sorry that's my smokescreen. Originally I tried bolo.... but got myself sent off.

MReyn24050 22nd Feb 2006 16:53

I thought Digby was a red herring, but no harm in trying. :)
