Krabat you are a senior member can you help me?
I'm looking for different pictures (other than the one usually
available with the gaudy livery) of the Kalinin K-12.
Thanks for your help

Heinkel He 5 - floatplane

Krabat42 · 02-26-2009, 04:34 AM

Yepp, He-5 is correct. I was looking for a He-6 picture but couldn't find one. So I thought a swedish He-5 would do.

@carson1934: Well, my member is definitely senior but I'm anything else than a senior member here.

I will see what I can find in my sources, I remember an old book about soviet aircraft (from my past in the GDR), it had a picture of the K-12, I'm sure. I will try to find it in my boxes (still lots of them there because I moved to a new appartment lately) but this may take a while. Also it's probably heavily retouched but we'll see.

thanks very much Krabat I'm looking forward to it...besides your quote about your member is very clever.

Thanks, Carson. I read a lot of english books (Terry Pratchett, Joseph Heller, Frank Herbert, Harry Harrison, Michael Frayn etc.) and this way you learn a lot more about a language than if you only read books about aircraft. The latter are mostly written to be understood by people who speak other languages, you wont find much puns or linguistic jokes there, but a wise man once said, you haven't understood a language before you understood those. (Well, I still have a lot to learn about grammar.) And, by the way, it's very satisfying too understand puns and jokes in a foreign language. They wont be able to make fun of you if you understand them.

Krabat

Edit: O.K. Got a new one. And I also want the name of the pilot.

I have a good time going through old threads of this forum and I don't know whether this pic was ever identified.
In my opinion this is an AE MB-1 "Bombi" an argentinian aircraft of the thirties I believe.
All the best to Poland

Dear Carson,

about which post you are talking?

And all the best to Italy of course! I spent a wonderful time in Italy last year...

Dear V2
please forgive me I'm just a stupid old man. In one of the old threads of this forum I came across the argentinian "Bombi" aircraft and this post originated from you. However I forgot the page of the forum it is in!
All the best

Dear Krabat
I have closely examined picture in question and I'm sorry I cannot identify the floatplane. All I can say is that the aircraft has landed in a beautiful alpine lake (swiss or austrian?) carson1934

No. It's Australian designed (by Bert Hinkler) and was registered in Britain. That's Hinkler on the right.

He named it after this bird...

Dear Graeme,
very pleased of seeing Bert Hinkler's picture in your post of 2-28-2008 # 1531. Bert Hinkler died in a plane crash on Jan.7th 1933 (he was aged 40) in the mountains near my city Arezzo (that's about 80 kms from Florence) while flying on his way to Australia (he was caught in a severe storm). Not long ago I visited his grave which is at "Cimitero degli Allori" just outside Florence city centre. In case someone might want to lay a flower on his forlorn grave these are location details of his grave at above cemetery: 2PPsSQ1 23s.
For your information I visited NZ many times and I still have excellent friends over there

Looks like the EKW C-3605.

Ahh, far far away. Not even Europe. It's the Bay of Ushuaia. The registration of the plane is german and it's double bad luck. maybe this helps.

Thanks for the clues Krabat! I was thinking mirrors but finally the penny dropped - Double unlucky = 1313 and I was certain that the word HEINKEL is just discernible under the exhausts.

So...Gunther Pluschow in his Heinkel HD 24 named TSINGTAU...

G'day Carson! Thanks for the Hinkler information, saddened to hear that the grave site is "forlorn." (Incidentally I live West of NZ...Australia).

New one...

Hello Graeme!
Good to know you are an aussie....What got me mixed up was the flag below your avatar...kiwi and aussie flags are much alike...Incidentally I was lucky enough to visit Australia on business at least twenty times over the last fifteen years.
I don't know what is the aircraft name of your picture...it looks pretty much british to me...
