De Schelde unknown bomber

[hesham]

Hi,

can anyone ID this De Schelde bomber project ?.

[Pitot]

Dit project heeft wel heel veel kenmerken van de Pander Postjager. De cockpitbeglazing en de staartvlakken zijn vrijwel identiek van vorm.
This project has a lot of characteristics of the Pander Postjager. Cockpitglazing and tailplanes are almost the same shape.

Klopt, Pander was overgenomen door De Schelde. Kan het de S.19 zijn? Heb geen idee hoe die eruit zag.

Edit: blijkbaar had de S.19 twee staartbomen, dus die is het niet.

Hi,

I suggest it was taken any designation between S.15 to S.18.

[LVA-40]

Look at the engine cowling: maybe I have to get another pair of eyes, but on that cowling is written De Schelde II. Schelde, "S", II=11 means Schelde S.11. The Dutch LVA want only planes with Rolls Royce Kestrel engines, so this model can be projected between 1933 and 1935. The Schelde S.12 is from March 1935. Nice photographs!!

I think you get it LVA-40,

may be that is right.

[LVA-40]

Maybe, if you can publish the same photographs in a bigger format, we can discuss about it. Maybe it is really "II", so the Schelde S.2. And that means that this will be the Pander S.4 Militair variant with other engines. I will have a look in the book about the Pander story, if that could be right.

Kind regards,
Jan G

But LVA-40;

the S.2 was a four engined pusher aircraft,as I know,anyway
check from it.

Yes Eric,

but I agree with LVA-40 about,may be this aircraft was S.11.
