Hopefully this will speed things up:p

Nord Norélic.

A most appropriate name, and one I'm sure everyone today is mightily grateful for.

kcockayne 27th Jul 2023 20:23

Brantley B2, by any chance ?

meleagertoo has it... Obviously made it too easy with the 2nd pic:O

An interesting design but unfortunately didn't lead anywhere useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nord_1700_Norélic From the description, the pic is actually the 1710 I suspect.

All yours...

My Father drew up and built a 1/12th scale flying model of the Sparrow in the mid 60's. It flew , but with a tendency to go into spiral instability which ended most flights.

1930's perhaps?

Noyade 31st Jul 2023 09:30

Yes. Mid-30's

Asturias56 31st Jul 2023 10:37

European?

sablatnic 31st Jul 2023 16:11

Ranger engine?

Noyade 1st Aug 2023 06:26

Not European.
Not a Ranger.
A 160 HP supercharged Menasco.

Appears (very briefly) in a very famous movie.

Play it again Sam!

the Brown B-3

Herod 1st Aug 2023 17:21

Ilsa never said that. When Ilsa first enters the Café Américain, she spots Sam and asks him, "Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake." After he feigns ignorance, she responds, "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'." A classic.
