BUMP.. It is over 3 months (nearly) since stevieboy's quiz post so to keep this topic alive why not try this?

(In the meanwhile stevieboy what was yours???)

I would love to ask -What Where and When? but that would be cruel, as it was a hastily arranged 'one-off' event.

BTW This aircraft had the most gorgeous radial engine I have ever seen and heard.. and it was spotless.

Correct Oli. Taken in August 1990 at the little club airfield of Villeneuve Sur Lot in the Dordogne region.

This was a one-off Ancienne Avion get together timed to celebrate the arrival of a B25 'direct' from the States to its new French owner.

This MS317 has a newly restored Salmson radial engine and as you can also see new paint job.

Superbe. A vous mon petit.
