I feel the call of the ocean once more........
Besson LB
Chris
Curious designation, Chris - it is the Lévy-Besson 200hp according to my source, but we'll not quibble !
Not sure where this came from but it is called the LB there too.
As I said, I'm not quibbling, and the original photo shows 'L-B' on the nose, this signifies 'Lévy-Besson' ! Neither the authoritative 'Aéronefs de l'Aviation Maritime', nor Aerofrance refer to a 'Besson LB'.
But, gentlemen, we are in the murky waters of French aircraft designations.........
Try another floater
Chris
After examining what seemed like several thousand biplane floaters, I'll settle on the Kawanishi K8K1 !
That's what I had over to you.
Chris
How about this chunky little warrior ?
A one-off trial of this engine in a mid-20's fighter that served with two air arms . Over 200 of the original model built.....
I figured as much!Originally Posted by lefty
But the fighter looks the same as the other 200+ (apart from the front bit with the whirly thing.........). One of the air forces it went to was in a northern state.
I waited to see if anyone else got it but it's been over a day.
Fiat C.R.5
Chris
You got it, Chris..
another floater
Chris
Chris, the rest of the crew are obviously on a sabbatical, so I'll have to have a shot at your shrouded floater.
How about the Svenska 'Pirat' ?
Thanks for getting it right. Going on a couple day vacation to Sun Valley to see what it like. Not sure about my connection so it worked out well. Always my first stop on the internet to see something I haven't seen before
Chris
Thanks Chris - enjoy Sun Valley. Skiing ??
Here's an oddball - think it has appeared here before, but a long, long time ago -
What about a Tupolev SB2 M103?
Cheers
BG
Hi BG ! (where were you when that Fiat was around ????)
Yes, it's the Tupolev tricycle testbed indeed.....
Thanks Lefty....when the FIAT was around I also was around therefore I missed it.....Hi BG ! (where were you when that Fiat was around ????)

Last night I tried to connect but the site was unavailable...I'll try to post something new by this afternoon.
Cheers
BG
I just found this one (sorry for showing her arse!):
Cheers again
BG
I can hear the skirl o' the pipes...........
The video makes for good watching.
Okay, I think we have a handle on the twin boom pusher. Since I'm the twin boom pusher fanatic around here I will knock it off the board. The Campbell F.
(Besides, I have a very obscure but interesting flying boat I'm anxious to unleash next).
