OK it's Harold Piffard's Hydroplane

**pomme homme** · July 17th, 2020, 23:37

At last! You have control, Sopwith Chameleon.

**Sopwith Chameleon** · July 18th, 2020, 05:02

....... Thanks ! Don't know if this has appeared here before :

**pomme homme** · July 18th, 2020, 06:30

I think that you're safe, SC. It seems we've had the 1 and 5 but not the two in between.

Message sent to Darren. Open house if no update by the end of the day.

Thanks-

**darrenvox** · July 21st, 2020, 16:43

sorry bout that

**fabulousfour** · July 22nd, 2020, 06:04

That is a nice picture of the rather unsuccessful Douglas DC-5.

**fabulousfour** · July 23rd, 2020, 01:06

I think it is in the sense of the thread when I do a new mystery without confirmation.

What about this floater?

**lefty** · July 23rd, 2020, 02:32

Once more upon the waters ! yet once more !
And the waves bound beneath me as a steed
That knows his rider.

So, my greatly worshipped high-born Lords Mike and Mike, as it seems that both of you might have a vague idea about the identity of the Craft, would it be foolhardy from me and too much to ask for the name of it?

**lefty** · July 23rd, 2020, 07:12

Please excuse the poetic digression, Robert. Blame it on the lockdown - there is now some evidence that it affects one's mental health....

Your neat 'phibian is the Byroncraft A1, I believe.

**fabulousfour** · July 23rd, 2020, 07:26

It is indeed the Byron Byroncraft A1, Mike

Thought that the mystery would last a bit longer since there is no picture at aerofiles.

Slàinte

By the way, is it just me who feels that the thread has become rather silent? Uli and Walter seem to have retired, Carlo (hope he is well!) still in quarantine...

**lefty** · July 23rd, 2020, 08:02

There have been times previously when we thought it had dried up, Robert, and, naturally, there are a limited number of subjects that haven't been covered before !

I have been away today - for a haircut !! (what a relief after all these weeks - looking in the mirror was like going back to the Seventies...).

Will ty to look out a new mystery shortly, but in the meantime if anyone else has something ready, please feel free !

Re Carlo, sent him an e-mail a couple of weeks ago without replay. Let's hope he is OK.

**lefty** · July 23rd, 2020, 14:27

Here's someone wearing the wrong size boots..

**cthornburg** · July 23rd, 2020, 19:26

My best guess Parnall Plover. There's a couple others it could be.

Chris

**lefty** · July 23rd, 2020, 22:04

No, you're right with the Plover, Chris. Over to you....(no beer!)

**cthornburg** · July 24th, 2020, 04:19

Not a crash

Chris

***Moses03*** · July 24th, 2020, 08:37

Chris is flexing his knowledge...

**cthornburg** · July 25th, 2020, 05:47

Kevin knows that this aircraft is in Aerofiles

Chris

**pomme homme** · July 25th, 2020, 05:52

Waldo Waterman Flex-Wing or Variable-Wing Monoplane or CLM Special (the same aeroplane seems to have used all three designations)?

**cthornburg** · July 25th, 2020, 07:02

Mike right on over to you

Chris
