Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.
Ferry's Focke-Achgelis-inspired machine is the Platt-LePage XR-1A.
One to Scotland! Surprised it lasted this long, I thought Moses would have no problems with it.

Hmm, it's going to take a wee while to get used to this new system......
Thanks, Ferry - I too am surprised that one got past Dallas radar......
What about this ?Attachment 30936 - not a homebuild - production was planned.
(Hmmm, thought I would test the post - click on pic to enlarge, then couldn't shrink it again! Got to go back in browser ????)
Help, men ! Having eventually got into the forum by a somewhat roundabout route, I click on 'Home' to be informed I do not have privileges etc etc....
Hope this is a glitsch - how are we supposed to get in when we are already logged in ?????
The new forums are a work in progress. Please pardon our "dust" as we get it up to speed. Yes, it looks like you have to go back in your browser after clicking on a attachment. Everyone is struggling with the new look and format. Hope we didn't lose our past attachments again!
This the Bacon Super T-6 again?
Sorry about the Bacon repeat. Over to you.
Try logging out and deleting all your SOH cookies. When you login again it should fix a few nits.
Next up, a vintage floater.
Looks like a lot of the previous attachments are gone for good due to the forums changeover. Nothing to do but press on.
The floater is a prototype. One built that didn't see production.
I had a feeling that was going to happen - I suppose attachments can't last forever, we see it on other sites all the time - blank pages where pics are supposed to be. Makes all the more sense of my inclination towards a permanent database....
Can't track down your proto - looks like Paris Salon 1913/13 ? Is it French ? Tail looks a bit Letord ?
I'm beginning to wish I had spent my few bucks on wine women and song..........
Superb detective work. It is indeed the Paris Salon from 1913, yet the floater is not French...
Indeed, 'tis a Brit ! The Graham-White Type VIII, no less. Good find, Kevin...
Knew you would track it down!
Over to the Fife detective-
I dread posting anything these days because there seems to be a 90% certainty I posted the same one last week........(It;s OLD AGE, you know)
However, this Thunderbirds special may be an exception to this rule..(sorry it's a grotty pic)
The waterrotaryfishbowl, the Model 15 Tri-Phibian by Monte-Copter?
Hello Wout ! Welcome to the New Look (Hmmmmm.) You are of course right with the Monte-Copter special. I wonder why we never saw lots of these buzzing around ??????
flying fuselage w/o wings (years later called flying body when built by reputed and government backed airframers)
That Sir, is the Horton Wingless prototype (N87698) of 1950. Powered by a 215hp Franklin engine. The prop is in the front obscured from view in this angle.
It is!
Horton, Horten, Schmorten, you won't get a wingy thingy past our Moses ! :mixedsmi:
Well what do you know? We got 4-6 inches of snow today and it is still coming down!
Next up, a twin from the grainy archive-
From a smallish company. They also designed a couple of mailplanes, a sportplane and several for the military.
Note the clean lines for this vintage.
It's the Elias ES-1. Very neat indeed.
