Was it built and flown?
Is that a loud speaker - top right?

Beamr 23rd Aug 2021 09:10

I've no idea what that is top right. The one sample was never finished hence never flew.

Beamr 23rd Aug 2021 22:55

The troop carrier was never finished as Stalin was convinced that the two 18-cylinder radials this aircraft was designed to accommodate were much more needed in bombers. Its italian designer wasn't amused but hey, such is war. And Stalin wasn't the one you'd actually want to argue with. Much easier and healthier to go with the flow and work on ekranoplanes and such.

Must be Bartini - which makes this the T-117...?
Looks a tad like a wide-body Airspeed Ambassador.

Bartini T117 it is!
Rather advanced Russian (Italian) transport aircraft with pressurization, being widebody, having a ramp, high wing etc.

All yours Noyade.

They're available in a variety of colours/markings - not just white...

Sleek combination of PC21 and Super Tucano. Canadian made?

No mate - that pic was just to throw you off the scent. :)

Beamr 26th Aug 2021 09:52

Oh man I was lost. Legendary! :ok:

The guy in #2507 does have a passing resemblance to `Brody`......

sablatnic 27th Aug 2021 08:15

Walter 601 powered?

Surely sablatnic is aware of the answer as well, so over to him/her, I'll have a handful on the cockpit thread.

Beamr 2nd Sep 2021 23:22

It's been an excessive amount of time, does anyone else feel like salabtnic's awol?
Should we declare OH to keep things going?

Asturias56 3rd Sep 2021 07:52

I think a week is long enough to and post something new, declare OH or to come up with an explanation of the delay

Has anyone PM'd him/her?

Beamr 3rd Sep 2021 08:47

I certainly have not pm'd. OH on my behalf, if anyone concurs.

Self loading bear 3rd Sep 2021 15:52

I concur OH

Asturias56 4th Sep 2021 19:47

Agreed - a week of silence is enough - give sablatnic a free shot when he /she wants

Noyade 6th Sep 2021 05:03

Another to look at...
