    All yours, Carlo (although Chris had the answer...). Sorry if they are too easy - will try harder, but it is difficult to find something new with you fellows nowadays !

    Yes Keith you're right Chris had the anser therefore in this case I "made myself beautiful with the peacock's feathers"...anyway you will find above an item of which I'm submitting a front view in the hope to make it a bit more difficult…

    It was weird I was working on the "B" section of my French files. Then not one but 2 in that category come up. Sometime you guys go through several aircraft before I even wake up. I usually want to have something available to use if I know the aircraft. Keep up the good work.

    Carlo's aircraft might be Koolhoven's B.A.T. F.K.26 'Commercial', me thinks.

    Right you are Uli! She's indeed the B.A.T.FK26 of 1919. Your turn please…

    not a one-off
    in production since almost 35 years, and hence both historic and contemporary
    more than 1000 built

    No takers for this small aircraft with big fun?

    That should be a Mini-Max, Uli.

  9. #17659
    Yes, that's one of many Mini-Max (a minimum-cost aircraft that requires a minimum of building space, time and skill, but which provides a maximum of enjoyment and performance)

    Something older.

    That is O-BAFK, the A.C.A.Z. T.2 two-seater monoplane from Zeebrugge. 'Designed for the owner-pilot of limited means'. I like that.

  12. #17662
    Close enough, I have it as T.1.
    However,the registration is correct and both planes seem to have differed only in details.

    Over to you, Mike

    I suspect you are right, Robert, and, not for the first time, Jane's is wrong ! Incidentally, whilst searching in '100 Ans d'Aviation en Belgique' I discovered that A.C.A.Z. only became the name of the company in 1925 - prior to that it was ZACCO - much better !

    It's ages since we had a floater - here's a nice anonymous-looking one -

    Hi Lefty
    This looks to me like a CANT 7ter but it's hard to say because your pic looks more like a silhouette..therefore I'm not sure
    Cheers
    Carlo

  15. #17665
    It's a bit dark but there's enough detail - for you to get the answer ! Yes, it's the Cant 7. Over to you, Carlo

    Thanks Lefty!
    In order to keep the forum moving I'm submitting this biplane which up to a few days ago was totally unknown to me!
    Cheers

    on the Cant 7 was there anymore info. Was it Cant 7, bis, ter? Any I-???? info.

    Chris

  18. #17668
    Chris, my source is Jane's 1926 - notoriously unreliable - but this is I-ONEA, the Cant 7, with 160hp Isotta-Fraschini engine. The -bis model had the beefier 250hp motor, and the -ter an SPA 6A.

    No takers yet for my yesterday's post? maybe a clue is in order....the men wear a Akubra hat which is usually used in a very specific place...besides in that particular spot only a handful of manufacturers are to be found…

    Well, it definitely ain't a DHA-3 Drover!

    Nice one, Carlo!

    I'll leave it to someone else since I'm probably away from home until tomorrow evening.

  23. #17673
    Eventually found it - the gear is the giveaway - but I'm away too, so I think Robert should put this one to bed....

  24. #17674
    Back home now, so I will solve this mysterious biplane from Down Under.

    It is the Genairco VH-UOS with a Siemens engine, that bird crashed in New Caledonia some miles away from home...

    The strange thing is that I knew the Genairco biplanes in its original form, but the radial engine altered the shape so perfectly that I hadn't the slightest idea about this mystery.

    I was looking for a biplane of a South American Air Force at first...

    Thanks for holding back, Mike!

    PS I forgot to add that the nickname of this bird was "La Roussette"
