Hello Veltro,

thanks again. I am still inclined to think that the crucial feature of the G-14 was the MW equipment (provided the information was correct that originally the designation G-6/MW50 was considered for it). This does not exclude that some "irregular" aircraft were built under the same designation. Perhaps one should be more cautious and consider a G-14 a sort of G-6 which was adapted to take the MW equipment if available. In this context it would be interesting to know if the Italian G-14s without MW had their master compass in fuselage section 6 and the "box" on the lid of their luggage compartment.
Another question that occurred to me is whether the G-14 and the G-10 were being produced in parallel by Erla. If so, the reason must have been that there were not enough D engines available and producing G-14s instead of G-10s was merely a stopgap measure. This would also explain why some Erla G-14s were equipped with the 50 l oil tank: The company just did not want to keep two types of tank in store.

Best wishes,
