Immediately thought British and Bristol (don't really know why). Now I'm going American and Thomas Morse. The Thomas Morse S-4C?...  | |

Country: | Yepp, that was fast. I could live with "Thomas-Morse Scout". Thought it would be interesting to go away from the WW2 planes. by the way: Do you got the current AviaQuiz? Took me two seconds this time.

DH 84, DH 86, DH 89 or DH 90? they all seem to have the same windmilling alternator on the top wing and cabin layout. Then I found the photo they used (very rare for me). DH 89A Dragon Rapide.
What about a thread devoted to 'solving' their photos? (or attempting to) I can't see any harm in it.

I guess Stockinger and Rex slipped up somewhere?! This is twice isn't? Quote:

| Yes, a good idea, why not. Let's do it. I can see no harm either. Quote: |
Crazy happenings in nearby Austria
| Yeah, unbelievable, but - to be honest - I wasn't that surprised. In my own pessimistic view: The people and the media will be upset but they will look away the next time when they see their next door neighbour is beating his wife. It's high time that people take responsibiliy for what they do and especially what they not do. In Schwerin the mayor Claussen is voted away after the death from starvation of a girl. Grave mistake by his social welfare office. And what about the people who knew that something was wrong and saw that the office did nothing? They are not innocent either.
But that's going off topic now so back to the quiz: Is it russian or austrian?

We had a story of a man found dead after one year in a housing commission flat that hit the headlines with the media and 'public' blaming the government for failing to monitor its old people, yet his fellow neighbouring tennants appeared oblivious to his piling mail and sudden disappearance... The 7.30 Report - ABC

Country: | Hmmm...No interest in this one from above?... 
Fair enough then. It is/was the Breguet-Michelin V... 
Derived from the Breguet-Michelin BU3 - it was purposefully designed as a pusher, because at one time the French Chief of Staff's idea was to simplify the identification of French aircraft for the anti-aircraft batteries. Germans were tractor and the French products were to be pushers. The concept didn't last long.
v2, this... 
Looks like this... 
...the Czechoslovakian Tatra T.1 Two-seat Light Cabin Monoplane.
However I have had no success googling "TATRA" so I'm wondering if it has another name. The tail is certainly 'Bucker' in appearance and I wonder if they borrowed it for the T.1, as they also manufactured the Bucker Jungmann under license. | |

Country: | Thanks v2. Nice looking aeroplane. Thanks for the restoration site.
But I find it discouraging that Googling 'Tatra' from this end of the planet received no hits whatsoever. | |
