Регистрационный номер: YR-AAP YR-AAP on also carries an ICAR symbol but looks like a licence-built BFW M.23. It,carries a spare prop and appears to be on a tropical tour. Any further information on either aircraft or their itineraries would be appreciated.
YR-AAP was a Messerschmitt M23b licence-built by ICAR with a Seimens-Halske SH13B engine. With two others it attempted to fly from Bucharest to Cape Town in 1933 but the flight had to be abandoned due to adverse weather at Malakal in Sudan. The pilots involved were M.Pantazi, G.Davidescu, A.Cernescu, P.Ivanovici, M.Manolescu and mechanic D.Ploesteanu. Presumably the photograph was taken during the attempt.Самолёты на фотографии: Messerschmitt BFW M.23 / M.27 - Германия - 1928

Регистрационный номер: YR-ACK YR-ACK was originally captioned as a IAR-23mb, built by ICAR, at Pietersburg in South Africa, possibly during 1934.
YR-ACK is refered to as a ICAR Universal with a Gipsy Major engine, though the SH14 was more usual. Three of these did successfully fly to Cape Town in 1935 in 73 hrs 5 mins flying time - and also returned safely. The first three pilots named above also made this journey, together with G.Olteanu, G.Jienescu and mechanic A.Stengher. Just as the above identification had been typed we received a report from Harm Hazewinkel confirming details of YR-AAP and giving the owners as ARPA (Associatia Romana Pentru Propaganda Aviatiei). YR-ACK however is quoted as a I.A.R. 23 with a 340hp Hispano-Suiza 9QA engine (not ICAR-built) which does seem to fit the original caption. Further contributions or photos seem to be called for here.Самолёты на фотографии: ICAR Universal - Румыния - 1934
