A little more exotic- Blohm und Voss Ha 140?

evansb 9th Nov 2007 16:51

Sorry gents, the aircraft is not from Germany, although it is of W.W.II vintage.

seacue 9th Nov 2007 19:56

Perhaps it is French, Bloch something.

Seacue
On behalf of Bri I can say this is not a French aircraft.

India Four Two 9th Nov 2007 21:55

Another aircraft I had never heard of.
 
It's a Fiat RS14. A nice picture of a model here, including the strange instrument panel: http://www.swannysmodels.com/RS14build.html

Open house if I am correct.

India Four Two is correct:ok: Well done:D An elegant replacement for two aging CANT models, the RS-14 performed a loop on it's test flight!
You have control.

India Four Two 10th Nov 2007 02:33

Thanks, Bri. An elegant aircraft, as you say - sort of a Blenheim on floats ;)

My remaining cockpit pictures have been done before, so OPEN HOUSE.

I42

E la moda questi aerii Italiani?
Here's one I am pretty sure we have not had before:

From the extensive use of marine ply and yacht varnish - it's a boat

We are definitely back on the water with this one. Please check PMs.

Akubra 11th Nov 2007 06:06

Pretty sure its a Curtiss Seagull.

larssnowpharter 11th Nov 2007 07:46

You are absolutely correct sir! Well done!:D

Unfortunately I am on remote access here and cannot post a photo of the aircraft so, if anyone has one please feel free.

Passo comando.

Akubra 11th Nov 2007 08:52

I hope this next one is considered a cockpit...

old,not bold 11th Nov 2007 09:44

I'm guessing it's an airship, can only think of two names, so I'll try one

R101

MReyn24050 11th Nov 2007 10:10

Curtiss Seagull
 
As larssnowpharter requested:-
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...ss-Seagull.jpg

Akubra 11th Nov 2007 10:28

Incredibly close old,not bold!!

The first photo shows the steering coxswain with the engine telegraph panel behind him.
The second shows the height coxswain standing at the elevator wheel.

larssnowpharter 11th Nov 2007 11:19

Thanks Mel. I always thought the Seagull was one of the prettiest of the early 'boats'.

LowNSlow 11th Nov 2007 12:46

Would it be the R100 then???

MReyn24050 11th Nov 2007 14:11

I can only but agree :)

old,not bold 11th Nov 2007 14:36

I'm sure LowNslow is there....my other name was "Hindenburg", not R100!

(I have a letter and envelope sent by my mother in Jamaica to her parents in England, franked as carried via New York and Germany, and naming the Hindenburg as the airmail carrier, not long before the tragedy.)

Akubra 11th Nov 2007 20:09

Spot on LowNSow :ok:

Built at Howden by the Airship Guarantee Company, She flew from 1929 to 1931 before been dismantled.

LowNSlow 12th Nov 2007 07:34

As usual I have no photos available so it's open house folks!

Fitter2 12th Nov 2007 09:31

New one
 
Oh, all right then:

http://i12.tinypic.com/8aykxmb.jpg

Good to see the thread active - I thought it gone rather quiet.

Kitbag 12th Nov 2007 11:46

Gloster Gauntlett?

This one:

Fitter2 12th Nov 2007 12:14

The very one. It's all yours.

Kitbag 12th Nov 2007 13:01

Lets see where this one goes

Fitter2 12th Nov 2007 17:20

WW2 German?

Kitbag 12th Nov 2007 19:17

F2

100% correct so far:ok:

White Bear 12th Nov 2007 20:44

He 111?

White Bear

MReyn24050 12th Nov 2007 20:54

Kitbag's challenge?
 
Great find. please check your PMs.
Mel

Kitbag 12th Nov 2007 21:32

Sorry White Bear, not from the Heinkel stable

White Bear 12th Nov 2007 22:53

Ar 234 Blitz ?
Regards,
White Bear

Kitbag 13th Nov 2007 07:30

Sorry WB, not an Arado design. The power plants were rather more conventional, althought developmentally just as troublesome as the early jets.

Regards

Akubra 13th Nov 2007 08:21

Messerschmitt Bf 161/162 perhaps?

Kitbag 13th Nov 2007 08:46

Sorry Akubra, not a product from Augsberg either.
This design was from a major manufacturer though.
Like many projects of its time development was delayed by the need to current aircraft designs in production, hence only a small number were built.

wonderboysteve 13th Nov 2007 08:49

Ju388........?

larssnowpharter 13th Nov 2007 08:57

or even the 488?

Kitbag 13th Nov 2007 11:16

Sorry chaps, not Junkers either, but you're not far off.

windriver 13th Nov 2007 11:34

Dornier 215 perhaps?

if not I`ll save a post and try the Dornier DO17.

Kitbag 13th Nov 2007 11:37

Sorry Windriver, not from Dornier either!
