The Author Exposed
I think I should finally add one of these. Everybody’s doing it, so I thought I might have a crack at it as well
.
My name is Boran Pivčić, resident of Zagreb, Croatia (for those who may have missed that bit
). I’m 25 and an aspiring (I think) aeronautics student. My first diploma got me a B.Eng in aeronautics – air traffic control, while my second one is an M.Eng with more general “air transport” ring to it (hard to describe, pretty much ground ops at an airport). I’m also a CPL pilot with 210-odd hours ([brag] at 17 once proudly the youngest pilot in Cro [/brag]) and “frozen” ATPL Theory, wishing to find myself behind the controls of my own Sukhoi Su-31 sometime in the future.
As is noticeable, I have quite an interest in photography, both aviation and non-av. My camera equipment, used to capture virtually all the photos on this (and my previous) blog, consists of:
Canon EOS 20D camera
Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera
Canon EF 17-40 F/4 L wideangle lens
Canon EF 70-200 F/4 L telephoto lens
Canon EF 100-400 F/4.5-5.6 L IS telephoto lens
Canon EF-S 17-85 F/4-5.6 IS (backup) wideangle lens
and generally costs more than I do.
I think that covers the relevant lot here
.

Hi Boran,
love to read the entries about the Ar79 and Bf109.
Am looking for help in a research question – maybe you’re interested …
Since some days in English, German and French forum is a photo of a (perhaps) French single engine pusher plane, said the photo is made at TOUSSUS-LE-NOBLE 1940.
I add the links to the three forum so that you can have a look if you like.
Maybe you can tell me where to look at in my further research.
Thanks in advance.
Kindly
Martin

Total? unbekanntes Flugzeug!
Martin,
Thank you for you comments! I’ve also looked at the links you provided, but unfortunately I have no idea what type it is. However, I’ll gladly look around and try to find out
. If I find anything interesting, I’ll let you know!
Boran
Martin,
Unfortunately, I’ve yet to find out what that type of aircraft is. I’d even resorted to a register of French aircraft of the era, but no luck so far…
Boran
Boran,
thanks for your efforts!
A French forum member found the solution:
It is a WEYMANN CTW 231 Tourisme, French registration was F- ALQY, engine Hispano-Suiza 9Qb 230 hp, only one built 1933.
Thanks again.
Kindly
Martin
