This bug has buzzed around once before.
I did search - but only just now have I discovered there's a dedicated thread search. :-(
I've been using the top right search facility all this time....sorry.
Happy to declare Open House...

With deference to the foregoing comments, I'll say that my search has revealed a recent appearance here of an aeroplane with exactly the same name as I have for this - only on that appearance its date was given as being 13 years later than the date when the photograph below was published. So I'm assuming that either (a) this is a similar, but not the same, aeroplane or (b) the date attributed to the earlier appearing aeroplane was wrong or (c) its creator was producing the same aeroplane for thirteen years or more!

Please excuse this little in-joke, gentlemen - Mike very kindly procured for me a copy of a lovely book on S.P.C.A. machines. Watch this space.
In the meantime, The Boss and I are packing our bags for a wee excursion to Dublin, so, I'll be absent for a few days. OH please, and slainte....
Hi Mike
unfortunately I stepped in too late to put forth my guess however I have been having two pics of the "Triplanino Sarri" on hand for a long time and do confirm that date of her first flight was 1919 and full name was Sarri-Bestetti (engine was naturally a 35HP Anzani).
Cheers

I found these two photos on ebay from a German private seller, so most probably it is European.
My first thought was that it might be Italian or Polish, but I didn't find it in the books "Aeroplani Caproni dal 1908 al 1935" or "Polish Aircraft 1893 - 1939".
No luck as well in the tome about Austrian aviation "Luftfahrzeugbau in Österreich".
Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks for your reply.
I agree that the plane has much from the Fokker, however, I think the transition between windscreen and wing and the windscreen itself is different.
The engine is kind of strange. Never seen an F.VII with this engine installation.
On the other side, the cables along the fuselage really look like Fokker.
What is that silvery stripe above the windows? Another row of windows?
Maybe in the end it is indeed simply a Fokker with an unknown engine. Has anybody a photo of the F.VII-prototype?
