    She was also flown with a cockpit canopy and tested one of my experimental engines.

    Looks like a PIK-11, but I've never seen one with a tricyle gear?

    Hi fabulousfour
    Sorry, not Finnish. Country of origin is closer to where you live, just one border to cross.
    In the museum she has a (military) green dress.

    Hi Carlo
    Sorry, not from France.
    On most photos she has military colours and the national insigna stronlgly resembles those of my country (or v.v.).
    Donot know for sure, but understand she uses the legs of a Bf-108 Taifun.

    It's the BAK-01 from Czechoslovakia, with the Walter M-431.

    Thanks Walter - I've always wondered about those Czech and Dutch insignia being so similar......

    No surprises - another floater...

    to Kevin - I suspect that may be the only photo of the H-15....(here's where I am proved wrong !)

  13. #15963
    I don't have another photo of it Mike.


    Another grainy flying boat-


  14. #15964
    A one-off and fairly obscure although it was mentioned in this thread within the past year!

  15. #15965
    With a chunky radial pusher, this looks American to me - would this be the Taft Kingfisher ??

  16. #15966
    Definitely American but not the Taft. This one appeared a year later.

  17. #15967
    In that case, one of the Rogers boats - looked at the RBX before and it didn't quite fit - how about the Sea Hawk ? (but it can't be - that had an inline motor...)

  18. #15968
    Not a Rogers effort Mike but it is from the same state...

  19. #15969
    blind guess: Mill Basin Super Gull W-1, perhaps?

    That is it. And you were the one who mentioned it last March or so!

    Apparently it stalled and crashed on a test flight in early 1929.

  21. #15971
    Oh, I completely forgot that. Here is another commercially unsuccessful attempt.

    The front end looks a little familiar but that tail section...

  23. #15973
    It looks as if Gloster and Grumman met in the twenties ....... but what puzzles me more is what appears to be a petrol pump on the roof of the building behind the aeroplane!

  24. #15974
    OK, some extra bits: built as a Navy fighter by a small company, first tested on wheels, then on floats, destroyed during evaluation. No idea about the “fuel pump”, perhaps a turret clock. As usual for publications of that time the background has been “photo shopped”.

    How about the Eberhart XFG-1 ?
