Either the Cox-Klemin CK.18 or the Nungesser NUA-1? If so, then it was bought by Richmond who renamed it the Sea Hawk with a pusher engine?

It seems that this thing had at least three names. I have it as Stelling Amphibian built by the Cox-Klemin Aircraft Corp. in the 1920s.

Rgr on the confused lineage.
This photo was taken in a very out of the way place for this particular aircraft. Bonus ale if you can figure that out. (Supposedly the water tower was a known landmark at this airport).
Savoia-Marchetti SM.95?
SAIDE's (Service Aériens Internationaux d'Egypte)Savoia Marchetti 95C and the airport might be Cairo...Originally Posted by Moses03

It is the beautiful SM.95 so PH gets the
BG- You are correct on the airline but the place is not Cairo. The airport is not in Africa and quite far away from Italy as well. Any more guesses?
Have done a wee search and came up with Darwin ?
Darwin, Northern Territory. Good on you Mike!
I'm very interested in a SAIDE's Aircraft ending up in Darwin , was that a charter flight or is there a story behind it? Would appreciate any link informing on the above fact...Can you help?
Cheers
BG
BG, please see the link below to a pdf article. It is a very well written and researched archive on migrant flights to Australia. The SAIDE bit starts on page 56.

Hi Moses!
Thanks very much for the beautiful and Comprehensive link and for your promptness!
Cheers
BG
Thank you, Kevin. And I apologise for my tardiness in responding. Here's something which I don't believe has put in an appearance here hitherto.
not from Austria, perhaps?

No, not Austrian. But what's up front comes from a different country to what's behind it!
Struggling with your grainflugel, Mike. Would that be a Mercedes motor ?
No, not a Merc up front. However the automotive theme is heading you in the right direction, engine wise. What's up front in the photograph replaced something that came from Mercedes' home country. The replacement, however, could be said to have more affinity with a pair of wheels in tandem, rather than the parallel pair beneath it, and to have been produced by a company whose name might make lefty feel at home! As to what's behind, grainflugel suggests that you're thinking along the right geographical lines.
The Heise HD 1 by Curt Heise, Dresden with a Victoria engine, perhaps?

Unfortunately not, according to my source. Whilst manufactured by a company that is not a household name, its designers were associated with a company that is. The latter eventually absorbed the former.
A little more help, peut-être? It was a 733cc Douglas S2 that powered this Teutonic two seater.
As it doesn't seem that this one is going 'to fly', perhaps it's time to move on. The aeroplane illustrated is the 1924 Aachener ST Monoplane, designed by Ing. Shulz and Ing. Thomas, of the Junkers design bureau, and built by Aachener Segelflugzeugbau. Originally it was powered by a Siemens Mabeco V twin before the Douglas unit was substituted. Apparently it was also referred to as the Junkers S-7. Open house, ladies and gentlemen.
What about a chopper to continue with?

Hi boys and girls!
I'm seeking advice by referring to your encyclopedic knowledge: I possess a couple of pics of a german prewar Aircraft captioned Arado J1: I can't find any info on the net....maybe someone could supply some specs? Thanks in advance and apologies to Giru for interfering with his chopper...
Cheers
BG
