I must lay off the absinthe. I thought that I'd started to see pink elephants but I'm relieved to find that it's only a RN Sikorsky R-6 Hoverfly II!

That's her, Mike.

The picture was taken at Farnborough in 1950 where according to my source not just one but three of these disguised Hoverflys where shown!

Santé

Thank you, Robert. Here's one for the radial aficionados .....

**pomme homme** · December 12th, 2021, 01:56

A post-WWII design from a designer who never liked to be too conventional for too long.

Starck AS-70 Jac ?

**pomme homme** · December 12th, 2021, 06:56

Indeed it is - and I didn't even have to mention Nénadovitch in the clue! A toast to Scotland

. Take it away, Mike.

**lefty** · December 12th, 2021, 14:04

Here's a racy number..

**lefty** · December 13th, 2021, 04:14

Photo taken in UK, but she's not a Brit - elsewhere in Europe !

**pomme homme** · December 13th, 2021, 04:56

Was the photograph taken at Shoreham Airport or did other airfields also have that distinctive fuel pump structure?

**Sopwith Chameleon** · December 13th, 2021, 05:20

The ICAR Universal from Romania ?

**lefty** · December 13th, 2021, 05:57

Heston, Mike, August 1st 1936.

YR-CGS belonging to Prince Constantin Soutzo. Full marks to Jim

150hp Siemens-Halske. Decent power, unlike that wee Starck. 9 cylinders and that big lump of engineering for 45 hp ? Nuts.

**Sopwith Chameleon** · December 13th, 2021, 11:57

Thanks ! On with another smart monoplane .......

***Moses03*** · December 13th, 2021, 12:18

The schizophrenic Atlas H-10.

**Sopwith Chameleon** · December 13th, 2021, 13:16

...... indeed it is - having started out in another life as the Harlow PJC-4

- over to Texas !

***Moses03*** · December 13th, 2021, 13:29

Thanks Jim. Here is a not-too-difficult floater.

**giruXX** · December 14th, 2021, 04:31

The "Water Bolly" perhaps?

Bristol Blenheim (Bolingbroke) No. 717

**giruXX** · December 14th, 2021, 10:43

Thank you Kevin!

How about this number?

**giruXX** · December 15th, 2021, 09:27

first flight in November 1920, only one built
company was dissolved the following year

***Moses03*** · December 15th, 2021, 10:50

I have this but didn't want to ping pong.

Can post answer later if no one steps up.

***Moses03*** · December 15th, 2021, 15:59

The obscure NAVO Nav-6 transport.

**giruXX** · December 16th, 2021, 00:06

A big glass to Kevin

***Moses03*** · December 16th, 2021, 04:33

Thanks Uli.

On with a gunship-

**fabulousfour** · December 16th, 2021, 06:04

That is the Fokker CO-4 from the USAAS with an experimental rudder

***Moses03*** · December 16th, 2021, 06:09

Sure is. Suds for Robert.

(Under the impression you boys like your dark ale over there).
