FORUMLEDEN met NOSTALGIE......"vreemde" kisten (deel 2)

Deze Siebel Fh 104 Hallore had ik ook zonder aanwijzingen herkend!

The Siebel Fh 104 Hallore was a small German twin-engined transport, communications and liaison aircraft built by Siebel.
In 1934, the Klemm Leichtflugzeugbau set up a new factory at Halle, for production of all-metal aircraft (as opposed to Klemms normal light aircraft) and transferred the development of a new twin engined transport, the Klemm Kl 104 to the Halle factory, the type being redesignated Fh 104. Klemm transferred control of the factory to Fritz Siebel in 1937, the year the Fh 104 prototype first flew. It had a metal fuselage, plywood covered wings and a hydraulic undercarriage that retracted into the lower part of the engine nacelles. It became known as the 'Hallore' after the name given to those born in that city.
Fh 104s' won long distance flying competitions in 1938 and an example flew 40,000 km around Africa in 1939. It won the principal award in the 1938 Littorio Rally[1]. During World War II the aircraft was used as a personal transport aircraft by some senior Wehrmacht officers and officials including Adolf Galland, Albert Kesselring and Ernst Udet. At least 15 aircraft appeared on the pre-war German civil register.

LFG Roland G I



05/31/2009. Remarks by Kees Kort: "The sole example of this experimental type appeared early in 1915 and was designed by Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft (L.F.G., Aircraft Company) commonly known by its trade name Roland. Contrary to the aircraft classification then in use by the German forces it was designated in the G-types, reserved for two-engined machines.

In reality the G.I was powered by a single 245 hp Maybach engine, which was mounted in the fuselage, driving two pusher propellers via chains. Big radiators for cooling of the engine were mounted on both sides of the fuselage. The machine had a two-men crew, with the observer/gunner in the front handling a Parabellum machine gun. The machine was quite large with a span of 98 ft 9 in (30.1 m), length of 52 ft 2 in (15.9 m) and loaded weight of 9,478 lb (4,300 kg)."

Nieuwe opgave

Dit sportieve vliegtuigje is door een vrij onbekende vliegtuigbouwer gemaakt.
Uiteindelijk is deze fabrikant met de productie gestopt. Aanleiding daartoe was ook het uitbreken van de tweede wereldoorlog.

Interessant ding! Side-by-side cockpit, dubbele head fairings, ...
Maakte die vliegtuigbouwer ook nog andere vliegtuigen of was dit zijn enige?
 
Deze niet Europese fabrikant van dit stoere toestel heeft volgens mijn weten minimaal drie verschillende vliegtuigen op de markt gebracht.
