Your turn please
BG
PS Two splendid pics of this aircraft are available on 1000 aircraft photos

Last one before the unveil. It's French

Chris

The x.x was a development of the preceeding x.x and x.x designs, but was intended for military use. There were three bays of struts and the pilot and observer were seated back-to-back. The observer had two machine guns in a ring mount. There were two Lamblin radiators attached to the front landing gear struts. The aircraft was designed to be eaily dismantled and reassembled to facilite transport with the wings folding back- wards at the wing center sections. This was intened to assist transporting the aircraft during escadrille movements. There were protected fuel tanks and the armament
was two machine guns. Static testing revealed the aircraft met the requirements specified by the Armee de l’Air. Although the military expressed an interest in the design, it does not appear that any were acquired by the military.

Thanks for the clues Chris.....for some reasons it reminds me of a Farman of the middle twenties....

Having problems getting power to my computer. So before I'm out of power it's the
Tampier T.3 Open House

[lefty]

Nice one, Chris - had us all stumped. I've been hors de combat for the best part of the week (house guests!) but will sling in one which will go fairly quickly, methinks......

[pomme homme]

Cukurs C.3?

[lefty]

Told you it would be a quickie ! Have a cool cider on me, Mike...

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Mike. And to reciprocate, here's something that is likely to experience an existence of similarly limited duration!

[Baragouin]

This seems to be the Dobkevicius Dobi D-II....

[pomme homme]

Not quite, but close enough for me. This is the D III, in which Jurgis Dobkevicius was killed when it crashed at Kaunas in 1926. If you compare the wings of the D II and the D III, you'll see that they are significantly different. I suspect that you'd be hard pressed to find many other wings of such a high aspect ratio in the 1920s, particularly of a powered aircraft as opposed to a sailplane. But enough of this. Over to you, BG,

Thanks pomme-homme!
As a matter of fact I was very uncertain as to whether I should have opted for a II or a III (then the former wrongly prevailed!). Anyway here's my offer and my apologies for the terribly looking picture

Highlighted by the Rising Sun, this is the Aichi AB-5. Looks very Heinkelly.

Aichi AB5 indeed! No wonders she looks Heinkelly her stepfather was the He62....
Well done and your turn Lefty...
Cheers
BG

BTW speaking of Aichi hasn't anybody got a pic of the Aichi D3A2K Val trainer?

Well apparently the designation of the wooden trainer was changed to D3Y1-K, BG, and here it is...

[lefty]

And here is a record-breaking floater for your consideration -

Thanks very much Lefty for the jap aircraft!
Your floater is a Gourdou-Leseurre LGL32Hy of 1925....

On the ball, BG -

Louis Demougeot took the world altitude record for hydravions at 9290 metres. Must have been chilly up there.....Bet it's not chilly in Tuscany ?
