• 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.

This plane was built from aluminum alloy which is rather unusual for an early sportsplane built by an aero club.
 
Feeling confident so I am going to press on as I won't be available until late tomorrow afternoon.


This one will not win any beauty contest...

Thanks, Kevin!
Wondering where you find all those quite sharp pictures of unknown American planes where there seem nothing to be of them in the weird wicked web. :very_drunk:

Back to biplanes.

A lot of internet trolls over the years. Whenever I find a cache of rare photos, I save them immediately as most of those sites disappear after a time.
 
Well I started with the tail, which I reckoned was probably Curtiss- but the two-bay wing setup had me stumped for a while....

Anyway, we've had skis, now for something that floats..(don't think this splashy old girl has been here before)

Yes Jim - as this is French, naturally the designation varies according to where you have sourced it ! The T4, or Tellier 350hp Sunbeam, is the boat in question.
Over to you - I'll smuggle over a lockdown beer..... :icon29:
