Siebel Hummel??
At eBay here there is a photo on the back of which it appears to be titled Hummel Fritz Siebel 1939.....But this aircraft is very different from the photos of the Si 202 Hummel that I have. Any suggestions regarding this aircraft will be much welcome

Re: Siebel Hummel??
Hello Ian,
the person to the right could verry well be Friedrich (Fritz) Wilhelm Siebel but the plane is definitely no Si 202 Hummel. I doubt it is a german plane at all, looks like something with a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine. Maybe at the "Großflugtag / internationales Luftrennen Frankfurt Rebstock 1939" ??? Siebels Si 202 took part there in large numbers ( quite successfull) so it could well be he was personally there. Sorry i could not be of more help Norbert |

Re: Siebel Hummel??

Regardless of what the photo says on the back side, this is a French Caudron. The ringed race number 13 indicates a use in one of the German sponsored Europaflug spectacles so popular in the 1930's. Having said that it could of course be some other race number since the Europaflug at least up to 1934 use square fields. It looks like one of the lesser powered variants (type 366 for instance), but I am notoriously bad in identifying "partial shots" of aircraft. I have failed to locate this race number in my books, so someone else needs to nail this down exactly. Cheers Stig |

Re: Siebel Hummel??
Many thanks Stig.
My main concern was to prove that this not some form of 'unknown' Siebel related prototype. I would agree that there are similarities to the Caudron 366. Cheers Ian |
