The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

This aircraft was built using parts/components of am earlier 2-seater by Mr. .... with a shoulder wing configuration, tri-gear and the same registration.
 
She is the Moonshiner by Mr. Bill Meadowcroft. The earlier 2-seater was the MC-1 Chinook, both registered N2897D.<br>Aerofiles, surprisingly, does not know for sure whether the name was Meadowcroft or Meadowbrook.<br><br>Open House, please 
 
A belated good morning, Mike :very_drunk:
Tried the whole morning to get into the forum without success.

It is indeed the Gil-Pazo GP Especial from Spain, the single seat conversion of the GP 2.
You have a good nose, Mike, photos of this special bird seem to be rare!

Enjoy your pint! :icon29:
 
Remembered the 'trousers' from my Spanish Civil War book.....
Wouldn't fancy flying that to Africa - noisy and pretty uncomfortable, methinks !

Here's a twin bipe -

We know there are issues at certain times. Dave posted this earlier: "It could be getting slower. At that time frame there is a script that copies all of the files in the website to a second drive as a backup. The more files in the library the longer it takes to copy them. While the drive it being copied it slows the whole server to a crawl."

We are actively looking to move to a new server setup or reconcile the situation as is more favorably.

Again, apologies for the trouble getting in. I'm normally not awake when it happens but the one time I was it was most annoying!.
 
Honestly we do try to be patient - but when you finally get in after a couple of hours trying, start a post, and then, when you are just getting ready to press the 'Submit' button, down she goes again !

I must confess, the odd Scottish pleasantry has escaped under these circumstances..........:banghead:
 
Thanks Mike. We have had this quirky flying boat in the distant past. Never seen this photo of it until the other day though.

Bonus points for knowing the odd design bit to it.

Is it simply a 'pixel lite' image of a sesquiplane or is the machine depicted a biplane on the port side and a monoplane on the starboard side?
 
Pixel lite Mike. The lower wing extends just beyond the floats on each side.

Here is a cropped frontal view.

I knew, I know it: Lawrence-Lewis A-1, built and flown near Chicago during 1915-16.
