Thanks for posting this. What mosque is it? It's so beautiful. Is it the same one where you took the picture of the first Xpelair Whisper? They are some chandeliers that include a small ceiling fan in the middle of the fixture in the States. Usually it's a fan not more than 90 cm wide. The 3rd fan is very interesting. It does indeed have the same blades as the Relite fans but the motor is pretty different. It looks like a Pakistani or Indian motor. It would be cool if Relite made a different model. The Ocarina might be a relabeled TMT. I like these Pakistani fans. They imitate well the GEC Kingsway. With the different downrods, thicker motors and generic bell canopy it seems that the fans on the old poster are actual 1940s GEC Kingsways. www.junktionantiques.co.uk/gallery3/index.php/Vintage-Electrical/GEC-Kingsway-Ceiling-FanThe English made Xpelairs Whisper were made around the mid to late 1980s and possibly early 1990s too so 1990 makes sens. The two variations of theses fans you saw are probably of two different age. Maybe one is 1980s and the other one is 1990s. Yes.. its the same place, the holy mosque in makkah, the 2 variants were mixed in that area, not 1 place with the first and the other place with the second.. i remember seeing a different brand name on one of those but cant remember the name though Ocarina had a similar regulator shape to TAT i remember..i dont think its related to TMT If u look carefully in the old poster pic, they are not GEC kingsway, the blades are above the bottom part the generic bell canopy on these pakistani fans are not original Oh! You went to La Mecque (in french). Congratulations! I know ever Muslim have to go there at least one in their life time for a pilgrim. They were probably at some point actual GEC Kingsway in place of the Pakistani fans and they kept the canopies of the GEC's.

I did not know this SMC model was made in 90 cm. What is the difference between the K series and the KN series? It seems to be a straight blade version of the K series but most of the straight blade like theses you saw were also labeled K only and not KN.
I think Andrew have one of theses SMC KN but in the large version.
Bajaj Regal Golds are pretty elegant fans. Especially in the four blade version.

Especially in the four blade version. in the website it says K56 but i see them labelled KN56 in the new models.. i use both K56 and KN56 for identifying these fans, i believe KN is more appropriate than K.. straight and curved blades don't make a difference in fan labelling, u can find here KD56 in both curvy blades and straight blades.. i believe there is actually no difference between K and KN series here u can see the SMC K56 for domestic sale in hong kong.. look exactly like the early 80s K56 www.smcfans.com/products/fans/industrial.htmland here is the SMC K56 and other models in the international catalog www.smc.com.hk/smccf/export.htmthey only show the curved blade models of the K and KN series

some more this time not my sightings but the pic is from china, an unknown fan taken from an old building to be demolished and installed in a new building.. the funny thing is that its really messed up panasonic fans and 2 pak fans (on the right) in a pakistani restaurant near to the workshop where i do my training hunter ospery in al barari farm (a tourist attraction area) in the restaurant area placed outdoors a CMC fan snapped around january 2002 or december 2001 in my 6th grade classroom

The picture of the fan in China is what it looks like once installed in the new building?
Yes, the ceiling in the restaurant is beautiful.
This Ospery has a different looking canopy. It's ball & socket.

Very cool sightings. The stationary housing Indian fan seems to be a Breezalit Decora (120 cm). breezalitfan.com/product_listing.php?cat_id=23Stationary housing fans with metal blades are particularly unique to India. I love them. Oops! Someone took the split A/C in the room where the KDK is.

Very cool sightings!
It's interesting how some of the SMC's are installed very close to each others. The way the fluorescent fixtures are installed is odd too.
Cool! A Hunter Carera. They used to sell these around here not so long ago. It's actually 132 cm and not 48''/120 cm.
I love the last one. It's got the same upper canopy as New Fans in Australia. You saw some of these in Syria too. I've never seen ceiling fans made by Golden Fan with a circle on the bottom of the motor around here. It must be a slightly more recent model as it has skinnier blades compared with the late 1970's- early 1980's models.
