    It certainly looks crowded in that tub...

    maybe it was the Guinness?

    well of COURSE it is Dave !

    This 100 hp Anzani powered pusher biplane was built by Florentin Champel. It had a span of 54 ft 6 in (16.61 m) and a gross weight of 1,543 lb (700 kg). It made a record flight in 1912 by carrying 5 persons over 155 miles (250 km) in three hours and one minute.

    Persian Hawker Fury - the only reason I got this was because you just posted it over at Breguet's Challenge :mixedsmi: , so although I may be correct, I still concede defeat as I'm absolutely terrible at head-on views. OPEN HOUSE

    Looks like the Kyushu K11W Shigaru, a JNAF trainer of about 1940.

    Hi Kevin :salute:
    If not Dave`s K11W, could it be the same Kyushu`s Q3W1 Nankai subhunter/mp of 1945?

  16. #6516
    Dave has it. Well spotted!

  17. #6517
    I'm curious about this one.....every photo of the K11W I've seen has a small crew access door on the port side just aft of the wing trailing edge. This one doesn't have it (or was it photoshopped out?)

    Here is the original photo I had-culled from an internet troll at some point. Surrender markings? One of those white and green painted jobs I guess. Maybe they painted over the hatch.

    Unless, of course, someone reversed the neg.............
