Good afternoon gentlemen
having just returned from holidays I confirm that it is the Dornier Do22G in Greek service.
Therefore Damazy may take the lead and proceed with his next offer
Cheers

Hi
I’ve been able to open your link…Is it perchance a SAAB B17A?
Carson1934
Dear Sirs
just back from my holidays I’m submitting following offer of this nice fighter/racer…
Cheers

Looks a bit similar to Lorraine Hanriot 41-2.
You are on the right path and Lorraine Hanriot is good enough for me however it isn’t the 41-2 but the LH130 (which became Hanriot H131).
Your turn now dear Damazy
Carson1934
My dear Carson1934. I’m just not quite sure about LH130 (131)
Look: here you’ve got LH41 and
LH131, and here are some photos of
LH130 and LH131- Think, could still bet that there was a LH41/2
in your picture.
All right here we go:
What was it?
Regards,
Damazy
First guess, Blohm und Voss 140.
Reasoning: The aircraft, even in foreshortened view as here, seems too short to be an FW200, and a Condor would have bent or broken the fuselage aft of the C-14/C-17 fuselage longeron/rib truss juncture ( roughly, 3/8 of the distance between the mainplane trailing edge and the elevators) , where they always had a structural weakness (ref: Eric “Winkle” Brown, who flew many former Luftwaffe aircraft).
The engines appear to be Bramo 132’s which thus tend to point to B&V.
If I’m wrong about it being a B&V, My next guess would have it as a Latecoere, though I don’t offhand recall the model.
Kind Regards, Uyraell.
Hi,
I’m afraid it’s not correct.
You are right that it’s not Fw 200 but it’s also none of B&V constructions. It’s not even a Latecoere…
Regards,
Damazy
You’re right Damazy and I apologize. The aircraft of my post #986 is definitely the Lorraine-Hanriot LH41/2 as you correctly surmised so forget what I said.
Regarding the other more recent aircraft in bad shape give me some time…
Carson1934
Dc-4?
EDIT: Forget it, the DC-4 didn’t have those roof windows above the crew.
Hi Damazy
Let me add my little stone to the building: it doesn’t look german though it sports Hakenkreuz over the wings. Could it be a non german “Beuteflugzeug”?
Carson1934
Wow I didn’t even saw that… I suck lol!
Well done my dear carson1934! It was one of the Beuteflugzeug, the question is which one?
Regards,
Damazy
I think it’s Russian?
I don’t think it is russian: they used during WWII only two four engined bombers, the Petlyakov Pe8 and the Yermolaev Yer2 (DB240) and for sure it’s none of the two…

Hi.
Looks like a Piaggio P108 T…
Yours
tom!
Hi, Tom.
Actually this is Piaggio P108C (Luftwaffe code no. J4+OH) but the answer is good enough for me.
Over to Germany
srce: Giancarlo Garello, Ali d’Italia No 15. Piaggio P.108, Torino 2000, p 40.
Hello Tom
since you’re the winner of the last mystery plane it would be nice if you could submit the next enigma in order to proceed with this slow moving thread…
thanks;)
Carson1934
Or shall I consider it “open house”?
