    And here is my new mystery.
    Hi Robert!
    It should be the Handley Page HPS1 (aka HP21) of 1923 (two ships commissioned by the US Navy)
    Cheers
    Carlo

    It is the Handley-Page.

    Chris was a bit faster with an answer, so it is up to him to show us a new mystery.

    a floater should be easy.

    That's the Karhu 48-B from

    Knew it would be easy over to you.

    Thanks Chris - it is difficult to find anything that isn't easy for most of the regular crew here. I sometimes think we are guilty of scaring off newbies by becoming too obscure, but I suppose that's the nature of these quizzes.....

    This one shouldn't hold up the flow for long - a pleasant-looking youngster -

    On the basis that I think everything is (or, at least, should be) French, a Potez 36?

    But maybe not - as I've only just noted that the aeroplane pictured appears to be a tandem two seater, whereas the Potez seats its occupants more sociably!

  9. #20209
    Mike, it is not a Potez. It is not French !

    (there is a clue in my post....)

    I had that plane as a potential mystery in reserve, Mike.

    That is the Fairchild FC-1 which took part in the Ford National Air Tours.

  11. #20211
    That's it, Robert ! ( 'pleasant-looking youngster' = fair child)

  12. #20212
    Here is a biplane of about the same era.

    You folks have been busy today.

    I think the latest is a Stinson-Faucett F-19.

  17. #20217
    In-flight marmalade sandwiches ??

  18. #20218
    Faucett F-19 is correct !

    Thanks, still trying to figure out the marmalade connection!


    Here is a Moses twin boom pusher special and an amphibian at that.

    First flown in December 1945.

  21. #20221
    I know not from whence you have exhumed that contraption, Kevin.

    Re my clue, there is a famous bear called Paddington (a children's favourite who is not unknown in the USA !) He, like the Stinson-Faucett, came from Peru, and is addicted to marmalade sandwiches !

    I'm sure the younger members of the Moore clan can back me up on this........

  22. #20222
    Didn't know Paddington was from Peru.

    The mystery did fly as I have a photo of it in flight. (Away from my computer right now). Original engine was a 65hp of unknown type. Was later fitted with a Continental C85.

  23. #20223
    In flight:



    Here it is again in 1948 with the C85:



    A well known food industry name was behind the initial financing.

    Looking at its construction, I'm tempted to ask whether the company was Heinz and aeroplane was called 57 Varieties!

  25. #20225
    Mr Heinz was indeed involved in this project! (Aerofiles has it under Heinz but with incomplete and sketchy information). It was known as the Lovejoy Curlycraft.

    "It was a dream of two Pittsburgh aviation pioneers, D. Barr Peat and Kenneth “Curly” Lovejoy. They
    had the financial backing of a Pittsburgh industrialist, H.J. Heinz II."


    Have at it Mike.
