Not the Dewoitine 338, as 30 were built, but you are very close.

aviate1138 25th Jan 2009 17:53

Seeing as there is so little info Anywhere! Could it be either the later D.342 and/or D.620?

evansb you have had me wracking my one remaining brain cell over this! :)

If I have to make a pick I would go for the D.342 :rolleyes:

evansb 25th Jan 2009 18:23

Oui, the Dewoitine D.342, perhaps the ultimate trimoteur piston airliner.
The aircraft came to a tragic end, crashing near Ameur al Ain, in Sept. 27, 1942, with the loss of 25 passengers and crew. You have control.

Merci mon brave......

And now for something completely different! Apologies for the quality.......

No clues as yet because I have a feeling this will have a short history......

Martin M-130

Not the Martin M-130.

Just had a glass of excellent Chilean Red Carmenere with SWMBO and we were wishing it were possible to convert a huge flying boat. The Martin Mars was the one we wished could be modified. However it is putting out fires and should remain so doing. But the thought of a Mars kitted out with sleeper seats and a fine crew and
good food/wine etc and voyaging around the islands of the world and in good company is never going to happen - but it should! Paperwork/insurance would probably kill it stone dead.

If right, it's open house, new computer, I'm dumber than ever. Anyway, Boeing XB-15, basically converted to the 314 Clipper.

XBLR-1 or XB-15 or XC-105, same aircraft. Well done Woodsie
The Boeing 314 used the same wing construction.

Not used as a bomber, converted to cargo.



"During its eight year in service, the XB-15/XC-105 flew 60 combat missions including ASW patrols and 70 cargo trips carrying 5,200 passengers, 440,000 lb (199,581 kg) of cargo and 94,000 lb (42,638 kg) of mail. The XC-105 was placed in storage at the PAD in May 1944 due to structural damage. This one of kind aircraft was ignominiously shoved into the Curundu Swamp, east of Albrook Field, where it slowly sunk into the muck. It remains there to this day."

OPEN HOUSE

Douglas XB-19.

aviate1138 28th Jan 2009 17:59

Well done con-pilot. You have control.

212 foot wingspan. It became the XB-19A [4 Allison 2,600hp engines] and hauled freight during the rest of WW2.

Davis Monthan airbase scrapped it.

con-pilot 28th Jan 2009 18:47

Thank you. Give me a few minutes to find a cockpit that has not been done.

con-pilot 28th Jan 2009 19:45

Okay, could not find this on the list, but it should not last long in any case.

The next cockpit.

evansb 29th Jan 2009 17:48
