Thanks mate, the front two looked a lot wider than the rear!

I have to ask, is it from the USA?

Civilian role?

Noyade 18th Aug 2012 09:18

USA
Aerofiles.

Is there a beer over there called Gage Roads London Best?

SincoTC 18th Aug 2012 09:39

Never seen it, isn't it an Oz brew? I expect you can get it if you look around!

Is that a clue of some kind, 'coz I don't thing Gage made anything like this!

Noyade 18th Aug 2012 09:44


isn't it an Oz brew?
Just read the fine print. Product of Australia. Idiot, here I was thinking I'm drinking British beer. :(

Also bought some Indian and American - better check those labels as well.

Clue....

Manufacturer was more famous for helicopters.

Sorry mate, I had a visitor to see to!

I guess it must be the Sikorsky S-32 ??

Edit: I think Gage brewery probably import hops from Kent, the so-called "Garden of England" to the the SE of London to mix in with their "London's Best"

Sikorsky S-32
It is mate. Well done. :ok:

SincoTC 18th Aug 2012 11:25

Thanks Graeme,

BTW, your Sikorsky it is coded as a five-seater in Aerofiles, but I won't hold it against you (not for long anyway :))

This is almost a silhouette!

Breguet X1V T Salon ?

SincoTC 18th Aug 2012 12:26

I'm going to give to you Terrence, the caption says it's an A2 and it has no windows, but it was shown in civvy markings :)


Breguet 14 A2 O-BLON (c/n 7122 - Former Aviation Militaire Belge "10") of SNETA seen at Haren airfield in the twenties.
sabredog has control :ok:

sabredog 18th Aug 2012 15:43

Many thanks,Trevor. The Breguet 14 did appear to have a number of subtypes!
The next challenge should not stay the course too long;

Okay, I'll guess it is a proposed ASW/MPA. The wing is similar to the EADS C295, however the horizontal stabilizer appears almost too small. I can't find anything resembling it on the net. Did it appear in a recent issue of AVW&ST?

On second thought, is it the proposed XIAN MA60-MPA Fearless Albatross?

Another Fokker! Fokker Maritime Enforcer?

sabredog 19th Aug 2012 06:56

It is the F-27 Fokker Maritime Enforcer,Aviate1138. Although I am reliably informed that it's provenance is in doubt. Some aspects of the silhouette resemble closely the EADS C295,as mentioned by evansb.
Apologies for any confusion.
YHC.

evansb 19th Aug 2012 22:59

Yes, the cockpit windshield step-down profile does not match the Fokker's at all. It appears the silhouette is distorted.

The thread appears to have stalled. Aviate1138, if I have jumped the gun too early I apologise but here is one to keeps things moving:-

G'day Mel.

First thought is a German Arado?
Or at least European?

Noyade 20th Aug 2012 22:25


BTW, your Sikorsky it is coded as a five-seater in Aerofiles
Is that right? Well I never......:)

MReyn24050 21st Aug 2012 08:13

Hi Graeme. It is European but not German.
