    Sorry, Carlo. Green has it. It's a Blackburn Dart, photographed from the air over Calshot.

    Hi Green
    this is clearly a US Aircraft with contrarotating props….what about a Boeing XF8B1? however considering that very little is to be seen of the Aircraft it could very well be one of those North American contraptions used a racers….
    Cheers
    Carlo

    "Tests at Boeing Field were marred by an accident in which a test pilot accidentally retracted his landing gear on final approach. Investigation later found this to have been caused by a faulty micro switch. This occurred just as first shift was ending, and as many workers watched from the Plant 2 steps, the XF8B-1 bellied onto the concrete."

    Nearly the same hint from my last mystery can be applied to this plane: From a well known stable, however, the engine of this one-off had less power.

    First flight around 1930, my sources differ about the exact year.

    Though there is a connection to an American aviation company the plane was not built in the US.

    Engine was a Siemens.

    Apart from the fin it looks pretty much like a Messerschmitt M 26

    Because it is a Messerschmitt M 26!
    There seem to be different versions of the fin, I also didn't know about that until yesterday, when I found the photo in Bruno Lange's book.

    Cheers

    Aah, that’s why I thought I knew the photo.



    How about an easy floater for some change?

    Hello boys and girls!
    This follow including the gentleman with the gallic moustache is the Bernard HV220 of 1931 which probably never flew…
    Cheers

    Salute Carlo,
    there is a lot of truth in your answer but the aircraft is not yet correctly identified.

    This isn't particularly difficult but there are lots of look-alike, therefore which one is it?

    Thinking Macchi - and the nose has M.8 written on it.
    Therefore, by clever deduction, the Macchi M.8.
