Wickham Model B Sir.

Yeehaw! You got it, cowboy!

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Rob. Never knew it was red!

Here is a grainy monoplane...

 

[Moses03]

Okay, enough fun with the grain. Here is a superior photo.

Post-war with a wout motor...

sorry i meant auster like the british aircraft maker of the 1920s

but onto the reason im here to respond its gotta be a caudron but not sure what it is

 

[pomme homme]

That's better! It's the Notteghem LN.01 of 1951 with a 60hp Walter Mikron upfront

 

[Moses03]

Right on Mike.

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Kevin.

Here's something of an earlier vintage. The number of mainplanes should narrow the field of choice - and there's a clue as to the location of the photograph to be found in its background!

Wight Quadroplane Fighter

from the quagmire land of designations.

[pomme homme]

No, Chris, that's not the .... - alright, I'm pulling your leg! But you've not offered the location, despite the obvious clue!

Oh and yes, Hanriot H.38?

 

[cthornburg]

a game of table tennis right back at you. You got it.

"Cow Pasture"

Chris

 

[pomme homme]

Close, but no cigar. The photograph was taken at Cow[e]s!

I'm off to bed, so the next challenge will have to wait until tomorrow.

 

[pomme homme]

Apologies for the delay.

As I know someone was miffed to miss the last floater, here's another one from an earlier period.

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

........ It came to an unfortunate end ......

 

[pomme homme]

Indeed it did, but through no fault of its own or that of any human - and its designer/constructor then went back to his day job, in which he was far more successful. Interestingly, the photograph was taken only a few hundred metres from where once I lived.

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

...... Near Shoreham airport ?

 

[pomme homme]

Nearer to Shoreham Beach. This was the last of a series of early biplanes - for operation from both land and water - produced by the same man. He was an artist of some reknown, whose works are exhibited extensively in British public galleries.
