Marcoux-Bromberg Special
Well done Trevor. :ok: Your control.

SincoTC 17th Aug 2013 21:55

Thanks Graeme,

This should be an easy one!

G'day Trevor. Yeah, right, sure, sure, whatever you say. :)

The front engine looks odd to me. I was thinking Boeing 80 or Keystone of something. Is it from the USA?

Or French?

SincoTC 18th Aug 2013 21:23

G'day Graeme,


Yeah, right, sure, sure, whatever you say.
Well, it is very obviously a tri-motor, so that narrows the field :)


Is it from the USA?

Or French?
Neither of those two, which narrows it even more :):)

Noyade 18th Aug 2013 21:30

Maybe not a biplane? British? Westland Wessex?

Noyade 18th Aug 2013 21:32

Stabbing quickly - as it must be bedtime over there...

Genet major engine? Avro Five?

SincoTC 18th Aug 2013 21:52

Stab no more mate, you got it on the first attempt :D


Maybe not a biplane? British? Westland Wessex?
Not a biplane, nor a helicopter :)It is indeed the Westland (IV) Wessex and powered by the Genet Major too for a bonus point! Well done!!

Noyade has control and goodnight :ok:

Noyade 18th Aug 2013 21:57

Caught me on the hop mate! I'll make it open house - and then look around. Night mate. :)

Noyade 18th Aug 2013 22:27

Thanks Trevor. Found one!....

SincoTC 27th Aug 2013 22:44

No takers so it's time for a clue, there's a two for one deal available here... ;) http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post8012623

Noyade 28th Aug 2013 21:16

Always love a bargain mate! So, logic says it must be the Canadian Reid Rambler?...

http://i40.tinypic.com/5cm1hy.jpg

Or more accurately, the Curtiss-Reid Rambler?...

It is, it is as you say the Curtiss-Reid Rambler, this one fitted with a Cirrus engine :D

Noyade has control :ok:

Noyade 28th Aug 2013 21:45

A balloon type machine ?

Noyade 13th Sep 2013 22:05

Good morning Krakatoa. :)

A balloon type machine ?
No mate, it's a Trimotor from the USA.

Karlark 14th Sep 2013 02:03

Hello Noyade. I suspect it is the starboard engine of a Stout Bushmaster 2000.

Noyade 14th Sep 2013 08:11


Stout Bushmaster 2000
Indeed!. Your control Karl. :ok:

Karlark 14th Sep 2013 15:28

Karlark 15th Sep 2013 17:21

Good Morning Graeme. Another trimotor from the USA....

Noyade 15th Sep 2013 21:01
