Boeing Model 247

Once again 682al has got the honours as I am sure Bert will confirm. Cringe will have to watch out as 682al is quickly catching her up in successes.

Thanks MReyn24050, but to be honest, if it's not a) British and b) from 1930 - 1950, it's mainly guess work on my part!

Apologies for the size and quality of this one...

Yes 247 it is. Carry on.

Apologies for jumping the gun, Bert, should've awaited your confirmation!

Nee bother at all 682 - it keeps it moving.

MR. In addition to the total tally, the number of 1st time successes, existing clues and total time should also be borne in mind. As you say, Ms C + 682 have a certain accuracy. I'll wait for some wild stabs before I have a go at the current challenge.

682al and Bert.
No, it should be me that should be apologising. I was just about to propose the Boeing 247 after seeing ithe photograph in Peter M Bower's book Boeing Aircraft since 1916 when I saw 682al's response. Couldn't resist in commenting.

Bert

Ms Cringe has some 41 successes and 682al 22, however you are fast catching them up.

Thanks, Mel. I had no idea about my score; being less than an amateur I wouldn't dream of comparing myself with the experts. To me this thread is just a lot of fun.

I couldn't agree more about the thread being a great deal of fun, but one cannot but admire the knowledge you have built up and the research that you must do to be able to solve the challenges put up and to pose the many rare challenges you put up for us to solve.

Everyone's being coy about the current actual challange I note. :E

Bit of a toughie. Biplane, single engined, no visible weaponery, but over-instramented for something of the 1930s (or 20s) and not fitting a British style set up although the compass is vaguely like.

So, not private civil (too much whizzy stuff) and not frontline military. Is it a test research aircraft? Italian? American?

Hmmmm...

Not an Italian machine, nor an American one.

But a standard production example, as far as I am aware.

Yes coy's the word. OK is it Japanese ?.

Not a Japanese machine...

Westland PV3?

I think it is either French or German - and it being a bit haphazard - French.

Not Westland, nor Japanese, sorry!

Wild quess Arado Ar 66c?

A Belgian Fox ?

Bert, it's a Fox, but I have to say I cannot confirm whether it's Belgian or not.

It's a tiny image that does not respond well to enlargement, you just lose what bit of detail there is.

That said, the instruments aren't typically British.

Over to you!
