Weymann CTW.130, CTW.131 and CTW.231

[Kdmoo]

Here is one I have been trying to track down for some time. French, late 1930's pusher:

Wow, that's a nice looking biplane.

 

[Tophe]

We discussed a lot about this one, but I don't remember where. It seems it was not in a topic of its own. Does someone have the link to this discussion?

 

[Jemiba]

Maybe here

or here

http://www.aerostories.org/~aeroforums/forumhist/aff.php?nummsg=33408 ?

 

[Tophe]

That's it. Sorry my memory is weak and I mixed the two forums...
I may help for translations from French if you need (and if Google Translate or Yahoo Babel Fish remains unclear)

 

[Kdmoo]

Thanks.

Seems they are perplexed over at Flypast as well:

hi all.
Look at "http://pegase.foxalpha.com/cuir/jbs.php"
If you see "periode 1939-1949" en juin 1940
perhaps something to look to ???

Good example, how quite difficult questions can be answered by a community !

My dear Mavericc.
I look to " avia france" and see
Weymann 131 = ex 130 !
i see at "http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/weyman ctw130"
the 3 views of the ctw 130 !!!
and I don't see a family resemblance between this two planes !
What do you think ?
Bye

 

[Maveric]

Yes, toura. We have the same idea. So I believe this uknown bird can´t be the CTW.231! ???

 

[toura]

Hi Maveric
I agree with you !
But what is this plane ?
In an old "Aviation Magazine" I read :
Weymann 130
Weymann 131 : the same modified
weymann 231 : The 131 modified .............
But no photo and no 3 views .........
I CAN'T SAY
Perhaps......wait and see
Bye

In answer to the above questions the Weymann CTW.231 only used the parts of the CTW.130/131. Here's photos of both, together with a GA drawing of the CTW.130. All taken from airwar.ru
