I started this new thread in an effort to identify rather obscure aircraft types either in Rumanian service or seen in Rumania.
The first installment looks to me like a British sports airplane, some sort of Miles. Opinions and hints welcome. Gen. Dénes  |

I'm not so sure but I think that is a Miles M14 (sports or trainer airplane). This post has been edited by mgc151184 on November 19, 2005 04:40 pm |

 P.S a picture with "Bazu" Cantacuzino and his Bucker cost 35 euro. And when I asked the salesman why is so expensiv he told me "because the pilot is Valentin Bibescu" |

The top photo is indeed a Fleet F-10G, No. 2.
The bottom one is a French airplane. 35 Euros for a single photo? That's really crazy... Gen. Dénes |

That's it. Thanks. BTW, nice photo of an Aiglon in Spanish Nationalist colours. Is it from your personal collection? Gen. Dénes |

It was actually a guy called 'Acree' who came up with the answer on the AAW forum.
