Thanks pomme-homme (or Apfelmann)!
What about a british girl?

Can't think why BG's poor old Avro Aldershot has been sitting there for so long - he gave us enough clues ! An attack of group modesty, methinks.....
Yes Lefty that was also my thinking! Obviously she's the Avro Aldershot....nest one please...

Thanks BG - let's see if anyone is awake out there - this one has been posted before (BG got it last time....) but this is a different view -
I am awake wondering why Mr. Bastet was trying to save money with using just one wheel on his RB-1.
Because, in his own Gallic way, he wanted to create a machine which would never be forgotten ! And didn't he do just that ?? !!
Maybe this is one that will never be forgotten?
Flown in 1941 but then the war came along and it was parked in a hangar.
It appears that, at present, it isn't being remembered, let alone forgotten!
LOL.
This was a one-off of course. Designed and built on the West Coast USA. It logged about 200 hours of testing before fading into obscurity. One source lists two Franklin engines but the entry at Aerofiles says otherwise.
Your friendly neighbourhood detective has worked out that this machine, otherwise anonymous, was built by a Mr A Johnson. It appears not to have had a name or designation so, there we are !
I cannot understand how counter-rotating props would work like this - in fact never really understood how they work at all, but then aerodynamics is a dark art.......
A double for Lefty on the Johnson Tandem.
It seems like there would be a lot of prop turbulence in-between the two engines. A novel design anyways!
Here's something more conventional -
No biters ? This one is European - a variant of a well-known model built for a prestigious race.
One more clue - 9-cyl Lorraine motor. Will reveal later today unless someone awakes !
Thanks for the clues Lefty...
The frame looks very much Dewoitinish....maybe a modified D26?
Cheers

I'll let this one go to BG - it is actually the D.274, a Dewoitine D.27 modified for the Coupe Michelin (a sort of aerial Tour de France) in 1931. Over to sunny Tuscany
Thanks Lefty generous of you!I'll let this one go to BG - it is actually the D.274, a Dewoitine D.27 modified for the Coupe Michelin (a sort of aerial Tour de France) in 1931. Over to sunny Tuscany
and here's my picture of a very peculiar fighter...what is his exact denomination?
(sunny Tuscany indeed: for the incoming week we are expecting a high of close to 30°)

I have it on my disk as Focke Wulf FW-190 C (V-18) Känguruh.
Prototype for high-altitude variant.
I shall always remain in awe of people who have the talent and application to produce such fine work. Well done Keith !
