Did we completely run out of airplanes to ID or is everyone just on hiatus?
Time to revive the thread....here's one which I don't believe has been posted before...
..... an elegant little monoplane but not one which I know.

Where has the Beaver pilot gone?
That's the one (and only)- over to you sir! Good to see you guys - was getting lonely in here for about a month.

Greetings! Hope everyone is well. Have not been around much of late unfortunately. Life can be so demanding at times...
Here is a large transport under construction. Any takers?
Apparently very muddy or greasy that day.
Wow! I've not a clue but what a great detail shot!

Only two were built. The first was a bomber and then this transport. Both were underpowered and unsuccessful. Circa 1925.
Farman F.130T

Big gangly Farman it is.
This is a "Mutt" not US

Oh goody ! Now that we have lost Aerofiles' search function, the same in AviaFrance has succumbed to a similar bug...... Our little world is falling apart...
Strange. One can search there against the year, purpose and key word but not against the manufacturer.Originally Posted by lefty
Edit: I'm wrong - one can select from the year and purpose lists and enter a key word, but then clicking on 'ok' seems consistently to produce a nil result!
I noticed the AviaFrance issues as well. Gosh.
Look in S. America

a mutt is a mixture of two breeds which this one is. Clodomiro Figueroa out of chile made this mixture of Bristol M.1C fuselage and a wing from a Ansaldo SVA aircraft.
Around 1928. Flew once at El Bosque but scared the pilot so much. The wing was flapping on the flight.

Mmm. It's quiet here.
May I use the lull to request an ID ? What is this British flying boat?
This is not a proper wot, because I don't know the answer.
Supermarine Solent G-AAAB

Bit more on this ! It was originally the Nanok (polar bear) as the three-engined Southampton was called, destined for the Danish Government. They weren't entirely happy with the machine and cancelled the order. Fortunately, Arthur T Guinness (of brewing fame) was in need of a flying yacht and so it became Solent G-AAAB. Ultimately scrapped in 1931.
Arthur was better known as Ernest Guinness, who subsequently commissioned Supermarine Air Yacht G-AASE. However he was not happy with the result of his order and refused to take delivery. Instead it was sold to a wealthy American, Mrs June James. After a forced landing near Cherbourg, it ditched in the Gulf of Naples and was damaged beyond repair. In the meantime, Guinness bought Saro Cloud G-ABHG.
Thank you all!
The collective amount of knowledge here always impresses me. A pity this thread is failing...
Since thread slow. Thought I would try something else.
I just came across this mystery? DC-4's had round windows and DC-6 had square windows. Then I was working on US Marines file and trying to get exact designations. I have this pix of "90414" with round windows and then with square windows? The only thing I could think of was maybe they painted the windows outside to look like square ones. The nose length looks like DC-4 not longer like DC-6.
I believe the window frames are painted square to look more modern.
