One of your better ideas.

Thanks Mate.

Bolkow Bo-46

OPEN HOUSE if correct

Nicely done Martin. :ok:

'Orribly sticky out there is it?

Martin has requested Open House.

Yep - 31 ish and very humid, but sunny today despite forecasts of storms. Spent an hour at the Air Force Museum today - nice machines in there sadly rotting away. :(

Hope you took some pics.

I'm not going to be greedy and take the OH just yet - I'm sure RD will be along later.

like this?

I see what you mean.

Why do people not preserve historic aircraft under cover? :ugh:

Hi RR,

Almost all exhibits in Berlin-Gatow Lufwaffe Museum are outside….

Here comes the greedy Reg and grabs the OH:

WE've had it before, Reg! :(

Martin,

I'm old enough to remember when the first MiG-25R was seen by the West.

Everyone was worried about it's claimed M2.5 speed, until it was realised it could only sprint that for two minutes or so.

I know, particularly when the whether is always hot, hot, hot!!!! There were lots of others inside - Hunter, Spitfire, Hurricane, Ouragan, Mystere IVA, MIG-21, SU-7, Fury, Lysander, etc.... However, all suffer from the Indian way of hand painting everything, and also their heath robinson way of restoring things!!!!

RR

Tell me what it is, and I'll withdraw it. Didn't see on the List.

It's that special long range jobber innit!

Not very much so.

Its the italian flying bomb.. I'll ge the name to you...

Ambrosini Assalto Radioguidato

The Assalto Radioguidato
Frati studied at the Milan Polytechnic from 1938 to 1943 and graduated as a mechanical engineer-the school didn't have an aeronautical section till later. In the Milan Polytechnic was the "Centro Studi ed Esperienze per il Volo a Vela" (CVV), where Frati helped design various sailplanes. During 1941-43, he contributed to the design of the AL 12, a military sailplane, and the Assalto Radioguidato, a kind of flying bomb powered by a big radial engine. A pilot was supposed to get this monster airborne, then jettison its landing gear and later bail out, leaving the crew of another plane to direct the "bomb" to its target by radio control. It was an unsophisticated device, the brainchild of the chief of staff of the Italian Air Force, and intended to be used against Allied shipping in the Mediterranean. Five were built and two flown, but they were never used in action.

RR

OH!!!

Correct RR :ok:. I was just burning to answer a question "Was it manned", and answering it by "Half way" :E

RR has requested Open House.

Evening chaps. :)

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u...ng_29/OH-1.jpg

Just one wingman on CAP.

Evening LM....an amphibian or UAV?

Evening mate. :)

Neither.

Having said that, an amphibian version was envisaged.

Ultra/microlight flying boat?

Not that either wingman.

It certainly lends itself to an Amphibian. A one off Amercan design LM?

Nein......

...nicht Amercan :E

Did this fly?

Was there a version / predecessor where the engine was located elsewhere?

Nicht amerikanisch… Ach, so…..

This was the first of three prototypes of different configurations.

There is a U Tube video of it's test flight, but in the end the designs went nowhere as far as I can see.

No map games needed then wingman. :}

Dornier of the 2100 century...

Nein mein freund....

Wanna nuvver clue?

It will be anuvver map............but better.............

So its from Ulm?

The second Equator testbed Turbo P-420 is a wide body 8 seater. The primary and secondary structure is made from fiber composite. The Allison turbine engine with 420 SHP is mounted in the vertical fin. The wet wing with 44 ft wingspan has a Wortmann laminar airfoil, variable geometry with slotted flaps and flaperons along it's full span.

From Equator Aircraft GmbH

Land, Sand, Grass, Water, Ice and Snow envisaged :cool:

I'm sure you have it Reg. Once I said Ulm it rang a bell but couldn't think why. The Equator aircraft range is well covered in oneof my books at home. Sadly I'm not (at home that is),
