    Here is what I have on it from my archives. Thought BG was correct on the Type 10.

    Well I have it as SPCA Type 10. We are talking French designations here, so there is bound to be disputation ! However, the beer is going to BG......

    Thanks Lefty yes french designations are really intricate and we got here at least three different ones....
    anyway here's my today's offer it isn't particularly difficult but the pic is very cute:

    I see a lot of Curtiss XF9C-1 in it (Model 58) but it might be a variant which I cannot detect.

    Oops! I have to change my mind it is the General Aviation XFA-1

    That's because it's the Atlantic (American Fokker-designed) XFA-1.

    Sorry no Sir
    BG
    This is my reply to the first answer
    My reply to the subsequent answer is: YES SIR the General Aviation XFA1

    Now who's the winner? I think Giru therefore he should submit the next question
    Cheers

    Yes, GX beat me by a short head -just shows it ain't only French machines that have multiple designations - this one has about four !

  15. #14515
    Browsing old journals I found this obscure wee thing.

    Would anybody here know more about it?

    Thank you Kevin! That's a great find (at least for me). I was desperately searching for Camhilargiu Aparently a typo in my wee source.

    Over to you

    Lefty swoops in for the kill. Krapish...a bit unfortunate name there, despite reports that it flew well.

  22. #14522
    Here's something a bit newer and really quite a pleasing and well-balanced design, considering its provenance . Naturally, it failed.

    Excellent Lefty her pic isn't even on Aerofiles! (I would like to be your nephew to inherit your pic collection!)

    What a delightful thought, BG if you were my nephew (!) it would give me an excuse to visit Tuscany......

    However, the real treasure trove of pictures is in Moses' vault, a great brass-bound chest he keeps in his cellar. I believe that it will be bequeathed to the Smithsonian Museum - but he's a mere youngster, remember....
