Hi MIke
A member of the Farman F-500/F-522 family?
Thank you Mike
If you would force me and twist my arm behind my back, I would say the F-521 (F-WVGQ)
See, I told you ! Spot-on as usual - the 'Monitor III' -
Thank you Mike
Sadly never flew in one, but at least I saw one (the Belgian SR-7B) at an airshow in the mid-1950s.
Next challenge is a light twin. Sorry for the somewhat grainy picture
Twin is from USA and Stanley had nothing to do with it
I'll bite on your clue, Walter. Would this be the Livingston Double Eagle ? Fits the Aerofiles description.......
Hi Mike
Are my clues too easy or are you simply brillant? (I will answer that for you).
Indeed the Livingston Double Eagle (N4921). Not much on the net and I remember (had a picture from Trade-a-Plane, but lost it) the aircraft initially had a much shorter an d blunt nose and a smaller and unswept tail.
your turn to go on expedition
Thank you Walter - here's a racing biplane with a chunky motor -
This one really shouldn't be too difficult - big company. If you think that the numeral looks a bit European, you wouldn't be wrong - the large 'mill' is a Hispano-Suiza.
This view makes it look quite different -
Just not getting a vibe at all on this one.
Surely there can't be a plethora of inverted sesquiplanes?
One of the two Fiat CR.1 prototypes - the MM.1 or MM.2? I can't do more than hazard a guess as I can't find an image of either on the net.
Look further east - this one was a variant of a fighter of the same configuration. It won the President of the Republic's Speed Trophy in 1925 - (187mph) - but which republic ??
Avia BH.21R. The clue was most generous.
I'm going soft in my old age... Over to another republic !=The clue was most generous.
Work on this one dragged along for some time.
This one started around 1934 and they were still fiddling with it into 1940. One of three makes by this Los Angeles, CA designer. It had a couple of different engines, the last being a Continental.
Looks a bit like one of the small Culvers - but they weren't CA ??
Not a Culver effort. This was the Johansen JA-2. It had a somewhat confusing lineage.
Open board please-
This small biplane is from around 1927
Nothing clicking on this one, Walter - almost like the Miles Satyr, but pretty sure it is not British -suspect Eastern Europe ? I-struts look Spaddy but nothing else.....
