While working on my project and working on Wight Aircraft I came across the picture from post 11880 on Oct 3, 2015. The pix I found was on Wiki which doesn't lead to 100% confidence. This time they caption stated it was the Wight Baby. Back in 2015 we didn't come up with an answer. I have the Wight book by Goodall. The info states that 3 were made but have only found pixs confirmed of 9097/8 not one of 9100 the first aircraft.
The pix on the plus side:
The fuselage looks the same, the attachment points for the float supports seem the same as does the attachment points for the top wing. Did say the tried a two bladed prop. The floats seem the same and the tailplane is similar.
The wing is different as it's two bay and only described as one bay in the info. The float struts are arranged different.
So has anyone seen a confirmed pix of 9100?
As with current discussion I do have the Aussie books Vol 1,2 which I got I think for $40/each on sale. If anyone needs some info from them.
Also know several aviation book authors and it's not a full time job making aviation books.
