    Not really happy with the Waco diagnosis - fin shape, wings, etc don't look quite right. It's just that radiator. Where's Kevin ?

  2. #18502
    Never seen it before Mike. Haven't a clue about it.

  3. #18503
    Okay then, an open board float plane...


  4. #18504
    Could that be a Colombian Curtiss Falcon on floats?

  5. #18505
    Suds for Robert!

    Over to Germany.

  6. #18506
    Thanks, Kevin!

    It's raining cats and dogs here, so suitable to the weather here another floater.

    Nothing more to add, Mike!

    I'll stick my neck out - as I cannot find a photograph - but could this be the Tellier 1100?

  11. #18511
    No, Mike, this is the Tellier 1000. It is European though....

    Yes, that's the only photo of the Tellier 1000 that I could find - and I extrapolated from that, using such data as is available, to arrive at my guess at the 1100. Oh well. Tant pis!

    Yes, the ill-fated Bresciani. Firing a 25mm cannon was tragically too much for the airframe -

    I think I might have found the answer to my mystery plane "Thomas-Morse S-1A" I think it's a Yackey Sport circa 1925-27. So the "S" might stand for Sport. They modified them with OX-5 and all upper wing panel i.e. lower wing was upper wing panels. I found pictures with various seat configurations. 1-3seats. All the pictures I've found are different. Attached is one with same type radiator.

    Think you've cracked it, Chris. But there's something very odd about that upper wing/strut arrangement !

  18. #18518
    I noticed that glad someone else saw it.

  22. #18522

    Could that be the "Sao Paulo" from the Brazilian FPSP?

  24. #18524
    I had it as Aviao S. Paulo
    I don't know what FPSP? is. I had reference to it and these two images are all I have after many years of looking for it.
    Over to you Robert good one. If you have any more info please share.

    Hi Chris.

    Didn't know anything about that plane until today.

    FPSP is the "Forca Publica de Sao Paulo", the biplane seems to be from 1925 (sorry, my knowledge of the Portuguese language is close to nil).

    I found some links with a few more photos of that plane:

    Somebody has built a model of the "Sao Paulo" and it seems that there is a replica somewhere in a museum.

    Next mystery will follow soon.
