Got it..... http://www.warbirdsnews.com/warbirds-news/reggiane-re-2000-falco-recovered-italian-waters.html ....although it has to be said, not because I knew what it was, but because of a little bit of luck in what I typed into Google. I must have too much spare time
Nice find as I have not seen this photograph before. I will disbar myself from this but my clue is that they are named after a bird and a Location that is a good place to learn to fly. Regards Tom
This should be a warning to all of us about tailgating... The "name" location certainly has the claim to fame for this thread...
It didn't get very far on it's first flight Regards Tom Barely the length of a B747 or was it the wingspan of a B747.....one or the other.
Nothing to do with Kittyhawk - that was a red herring. Seeing as its so quiet, here are a couple of links of interest. Its not the first one by the way: http://youtu.be/1TJk1jqzjYU http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=28375 http://www.airplaneboneyards.com/post-wwii-long-term-aircraft-storage-sites.htm
Seeing as how the answer was in the video and nobody has posted any more obvious solutions, here is another:
Not much of a clue, but it was fitted with Rolls Royce engines. Small clue on the tailplane regarding Nationality. Regards Tom
OK, so obviously people are out enjoying some rare northern hemisphere sunshine and are far too busy to call the Dornier 31! Here is another, not sure if its more or less obscure than the DO 31, but lets say hard.
A dragonfly that can go for Miles and Miles (and that rare northern hemisphere sun is obscured by thick black clouds )
Built during WW2. Due to the low Level Cannard Forward wing, I believe that this is a 5/8th scale flying prototype for the proposed bomber Version. Regards Tom
As the planned aircraft didn't go ahead I'm not sure we can call it scale, but otherwise correct indeed. Full title for spectators is the Miles M39B Libellula, as opposed to a Beebopaluba which was quite different! I have always wondered, with his track record of some quite ingenious designs, what Miles could have done with a full development team and funding.
