• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Last gasp...this was from a well-known designer who had his hands in many projects both civil and military. He passed away in 1961.
 
Thanks, Kevin! It was indeed the year that helped to solve this mystery.

Here is another biplane.

It is the Grasshopper, Mike! :encouragement:

Kind of strange that Sopwith went out of business after difficulties selling motorcycles...

Over to you, Mike :icon29:
 
Thanks, Robert. Before I head off for my traditional Friday 'refreshment', we'll have another floater ! (Can't have too many....) (refreshments, I mean....)

Thank you, Carlo. By a process of elimation, I wonder whether this Hummingbird was G-EBRA? I also wonder if it aspired to a Chilean civil registration?

As we are approaching Christmas, the season of festive fun, might I offer a somewhat different approach to the next mystery aircraft? Yes, we've had her before - but not like this, which is something in the nature of an aeronautical 'dance of the seven veils'! I suspect that I won't get as far as removing all of the veils but, to start, here she is fully veiled - but exactly as supplied by the manufacturer!
