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

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?

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 :):)

Maybe not a biplane? British? Westland Wessex?

Noyade 18th August 2013 21:32

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

Genet major engine? Avro Five?

SincoTC 18th August 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!!

Westland IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noyade has control and goodnight :ok:

Noyade 18th August 2013 21:57

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

Noyade 18th August 2013 22:27

Thanks Trevor. Found one!....
