    Of course you are right...... but I must confess I had never heard of the aircraft until now

    Cheers,
    Huub

    Mike is right, it is the KB-5 from the Caproni company with the strange spelling.

    Over to you, Mike.

    Samoletna Fabrika Bulgarski Kaproni, Robert - (I haven't attempted what my old neighbour used to call 'Acrylic' script.) I am indebted to 'Aircraft Manufacture in Bulgaria' by Dimitar Nedialkov, sent to me by the author. While the Bulgarians may have built sturdy aircraft, they are utterly useless at bookbinding - it is now 190 pages of loose-leaf documents !

    Here's another biplane - the more discerning amongst you will immediately twig that this isn't quite as old as it looks.......

    Apologies Uli, I forgot to check in my hurry. OH then, please.

    I didn’t want to spoil your mystery, Mike.
    I thought my hint would help somebody else to solve it.

    This plane was built from aluminum alloy which is rather unusual for an early sportsplane built by an aero club.

    That helped. DUS III Ptapta from Poland.

  12. #21887
    Feeling confident so I am going to press on as I won't be available until late tomorrow afternoon.


    This one will not win any beauty contest...

    DUS III Ptapta is correct

    It looks like somebody merged a Taylor Chummy with the nose of a Fiat Cr.32

    Cheers,

    Around six built with a variety of engines. One being a Siemens-Halske.

    Could this be the Eyerly Monoplane from 1929?

    The description at aerofiles would fit but I couldn't find a photo of that bird.

    Thanks, Kevin!
    Wondering where you find all those quite sharp pictures of unknown American planes where there seem nothing to be of them in the weird wicked web.

    Back to biplanes.

    A lot of internet trolls over the years. Whenever I find a cache of rare photos, I save them immediately as most of those sites disappear after a time.

    Curtiss PW-8, Robert.

  21. #21896
    It is the Curtiss PW-8, Mike

    I hoped that the special undercarriage would mislead you for a moment.

  22. #21897
    Well I started with the tail, which I reckoned was probably Curtiss- but the two-bay wing setup had me stumped for a while....

    Anyway, we've had skis, now for something that floats..(don't think this splashy old girl has been here before)

    Tellier T4 from I think ....

  24. #21899
    Yes Jim - as this is French, naturally the designation varies according to where you have sourced it ! The T4, or Tellier 350hp Sunbeam, is the boat in question.
    Over to you - I'll smuggle over a lockdown beer.....

    Not just a splashy old girl but a cover girl (q.v. https://www.hydroretro.net/etudegh/tellier.pdf)!
