Now that looks Italiano, BEagle!

621andy 16th May 2023 11:21

Fiat Cr.32

BEagle 17th May 2023 08:58

621andy, you are correct!

You have control!!

621andy 17th May 2023 13:39

Oh! I've won one:8 I'm usually in awe of the knowledge of everyone on here:}

Anyway, this one will probably last 5 minutes...

and apologies if it's already been 'done'...

Looks like it converts to a car.

BEagle 17th May 2023 18:15

So 'quaint'......

:O What can I say...

Quaint? I think I'd risk the submarine!

Most likely just Mr BEagle playing with a surname. ;)

Indeed, Noyade is correct;): Beags was playing with you...It's a Quaintance Spratt 108...

Constructed mainly of Polyurethane foam and fibreglass, it had folding wings and a tow hitch so it could be towed by a car. The original engine was a 60hp Mercury outboard engine(!) but was replaced with a Subaru car engine...
It was controlled using Mr. Spratts 'Controlwing' system:eek:

Anyway...over to Noyade for the next teaser...and I'll retire into the shadows and continue lurking for another 10 years until another one pops up that I know:}

Asturias56 18th May 2023 07:58

Be of good cheer! I started out knowing nothing - now I know a little bit less than nothing

But your brain will remember some of the odder suggestions and you'll gradually aspire towards the Nirvana of the Masters like noyade & Bear

Noyade 18th May 2023 08:54

Cheers 621andy. Mr BEagle was certainly in the know before me -so control should go to him.

But if he's not interested - don't wait another 10 years - post another one now.
Failing that - open house.

:ok:

(Interestingly, Jane's/Aerofiles calls it the Model 105, but that museum calls it the Model 108?)



621andy 18th May 2023 09:08

I'll get a quick one in now then if BEagle doesn't take offence:O

BEagle 18th May 2023 10:24

No offence!

Although the image you've posted is a model, the real thing did actually fly - somewhat surprisingly!

Indeed, I couldn't find a decent pic of the real thing and as you say it did fly;)

Photos in publications aren't much better. The Cheranovskii BICh-3 most likely?

Well done Noyade! Over to you...
