It is a Fiat BR and in front of it is its designer Celestino Rosatelli.

Over to Chris.

Here's a quick and easy one

Chris

**fabulousfour** · April 26th, 2020, 05:45

That's the Airbus E-Fan, Chris.

**cthornburg** · April 26th, 2020, 09:45

You got it have fun with the next mystery

Chris

**fabulousfour** · April 26th, 2020, 10:30

Thanks, Chris.

On with another biplane. One small clue in advance: The engine might look like a 3-cylinder but this is not the case.

Well done, Chris, it is the HD.22 in Hungarian service.

Quite interesting photo, I've never seen such a camouflaged Heinkel biplane before.

Over to you.

It's big brother has been on here before

Chris

**cthornburg** · April 27th, 2020, 17:22

The big reveal "Southernaire BM-10"

Open House

**wout** · April 29th, 2020, 02:14

This one is not so well known, I guess.

**wout** · April 30th, 2020, 00:36

Year of manufacture 1971. Engine a 180hp Franklin 6A-335. Registration cancelled 2003

**wout** · May 1st, 2020, 03:49

This is the B-1 Quick n Easy by Wayne Bosswell of Oregon/USA. I know disappointingly little of the aircraft, except that she was completed 1971 and had a Franklin engine.
Registration was N5871. It is posible that the photo shows the aircraft in "final" form. Please see attached second photo showing an earlier version (??) with a shorter fuselage and different cabin area.
Any additional info is very welcome

Open House, please

**pomme homme** · May 1st, 2020, 05:03

Can I please use the 'open house' interregnum to post a photograph which, on more than one other forum, is proving impossible - at least, so far - to identify? Below is the photograph posted on the other forums, together with two close-ups taken from that. The original poster of the photograph says that the aeroplane was operated by his grandfather, who worked for Short Bros. during WW2, from various small fields in Kent. He also says that he has the propeller from the aeroplane, which bears the date 'September 1924'. I felt that the aeroplane was too small to have been piloted by a human, and thus might have been some sort of large scale model, but many have disagreed with that theory. Also it's been suggested that the engine is an Anzani V twin - although I don't think that it's possible to dismiss the possibility that it is an inverted Blackburne Tomtit. Any ideas, anyone?

**pomme homme** · May 3rd, 2020, 11:50

A mystery, it seems, the little parasol wing monoplane must remain. Will someone, please, post a mainstream challenge, in order to get things moving on?

**cthornburg** · May 3rd, 2020, 15:36

Sorry about the quality will try to find better. Something that might be a challenge

Chris

That, Chris, is the Archon SF-1 from, of all places, Greece -

Seems to fly pretty well, too, although it doesn't sound quite like an F-35 !

Thanks for posting that. It's fun, and boy, do we all need some of that....

**cthornburg** · May 3rd, 2020, 23:12

Right on target over to you

Chris

**lefty** · May 4th, 2020, 01:14

Something different again -

**fabulousfour** · May 4th, 2020, 01:27

That bird is very much larger as it appears to be.

That is the Linke-Hofmann R.II, Mike.

**lefty** · May 4th, 2020, 02:03

Indeed, Robert. Must have seemed like a good idea at the time.....

**fabulousfour** · May 4th, 2020, 02:24

Mike, from what I know about the Linke-Hofmann it seems that it must have had its benefits.
I remember a quote from a pilot who flew it that the gigantic prop (one of the biggest ever built!) turned so slowly you could see it turning!

On with something more modern.
