I'm a bit baffled - DHC2Pilot appears to have taken his pic of the GP-2 from p157 of Howson's Aircraft of the Spanish Civil War.

Think we'll leave it there. Emilio, you have sure stirred up this sleepy old forum ! Well done. Will go and look for another.

Yeah, my goof on that one. I apparently scanned the photo into the wrong folder. (Burying my head in the sand)
 
Kevin, this one's a beaut. Looks like they kidnapped a couple of door-to-door God-peddlers and told them they were just going for a little ride to Heaven........
 
Well well, an aquatic glider - now there's an interesting concept..... (almost as interesting as what appears to be a thatched hangar in the background !)
 
I wasn't too sure whether a glider was considered a 'no-no' here as I don't believe we've touched on the genre before. If so, please let me know and I'll post a different powered selection for your enjoyment and bewilderment. :mixedsmi:
 
Up till now, gliders have been taboo - there are some very interesting ones, e.g. some of the military gliders, but there are a zillion which all look basically the same..

Will have a stab at this - never checked out any historical glider sites !

I presume this got towed behind some very fast oarsmen for take-off ?????
 
Correct on the Nikitin - I also have it catalogued under "Fellings PSN" - not sure how the second name comes into play, but then again I never could get the Russian designation system under wraps.

Over to you sir :icon29:
 
Blast ! Having spent 5 minutes navigating my way to this post ( I think Ickie forgot to wind up the server when he put the cat out last night) I find my smartass answer, well, isn't right !

You will understand when I post my pic of the Breguet XI Corsaire -

The military gentleman in Moses' pic looks a lot more Russian than French, so it's back to the books, Michael.....
 
Very similar layout but not a Breguet. (I do like the wing notches in your version for the guns to shoot upwards!)
 
Looks like we need to reboot. Lefty was on the right track. This is the Russki Anatra DE.

Something not so obscure maybe?

ER, well I'd like to have a go at this but, sadly, can't see it ! (Attachments seem to have gone walkies ?)
 
Hmm...try logging out, deleteing all SOH cookies and logging back in.

Edit: Will embed the photo in the post above. See if that helps.
