Dont see the BB special on the list(#342 &#349). Is #364 a rice-burner ? Another nice looking big `boat to enjoy...

Add 342/349 to the list then (your not getting off that easy!) I've only just looked at 371 and I think it't one of the Keystone/Loening line . I'll have another look!

#371 not Keystone/Loening. Correct country plus another elegant flying boat from those parts..

#373 is the Hall YP2H-1
another.

Kiwi · 31-12-2004

#371 Hall PH-2?
#364 isn't a saki special. More likely a salami variety?(but not pasta)
Again

Into 2005 with a bang...happy new year in NZ !

Now thats a real aeroplane! Used to love watching 20 Squadrons FGA 9s flying from Tengah in the late 60's (also 74s Lightnings plus Shacks and Meteors and Beverleys from Changi). Great days! (and not forgetting our Canberras!)
Happy New Year to you all. (1 1/2 hours to go from down here)

Thought I would start the New Year by clearing some of the old ones from the start of the list I did.
#203, The French Navy one with the contra rotating props is the Arsenal VB 10. Twin engined, one in front and one behind the pilot, you sure wouldn't want to crash land one.
#209 Barry's STOL biplane with movable wing tip - don't know
#213 Shinden lookalike- it's the Ambrosini SS4 from Italy.
#218 Twin engined fighter with US markings. It's a captured Kawasaki Ki 45 KAI-Hei Toryu (Nick)
#228 Twin engined flying boat with flat sided nacelles and uncowled engines is the LeO H 242
#233 Single engined little jet.- Arsenal VG90
Now see if you can do some of the others.

I reckon that we are perhaps spoiling the fun for future participents in the reccie thread. Plus it is difficult to wade through past pages to check on a particular `plane in a half-forgotten page or post number. Any ideas how the answer can be hidden but available after you`ve "given-up" or automaticaly revealed after a certain period. The wealth of interesting machines seen has been an eye-opener for me . Any thoughts. Plus here is a wee easy one but a favourite of mine.
