The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Same here, Mike.

I have helped myself with searches like

1polwm site:aerofiles.com

or something similar.

That would show all pages where "1polwm" appear at aerofiles.

Of course you may exchange 1polwm with any other term you are looking for
 
Here is a plump fish to consider.

Here comes a speedy guy who, to my knowledge, has not appeared here before.

Fencing, eh ? It's comforting to know that even in these Philistinic times, a man may have to prove his worth in the gentlemanly way...

The spirit of D'Artagnan lives on...

I'm glad you're back on the piste again......

Yes, Mike, but my fencing today involved wooden posts and grillage (sorry, I don't know the English word for that). No épees, masks or touchés for me. The exercise involved blunter tools - a sledge hammer to drive the posts in and a claw hammer to apply the staples to hold the grillage in place. But all of this is irrelevant to this one-off, braced wing monoplane - as to whose identity I've already offered a clue!
 
Mike, I think the english equivalent of grillage is chain link - at least in my experience of renewing some 200 metres of same some 15 years ago as well as steel tee section posts that had rusted at ground level!

No, what I installed yesterday wasn't chain link fencing, Keith. Dan seems closer to the mark. I've googled it and the nearest I can get is stock wire fencing or agricultural wire mesh. Designed to keep my sheep in their field rather than grazing the more verdant grass of the roadside verge!

As to the aeroplane, clues to follow soon!
 
The designer/constructor of this aeroplane reputedly was a prodigious aeronautical prodigy, subsequently moved south, changed his name, became prominent in seminal glider manufacture, was responsible for a well-known early ultralight and ultimately died an untimely death.
 
Well done, Robert. Better that the penny makes a delayed drop, rather than not dropping at all! :icon29:

It is Thomas Harold Lowe's 1922 Marlburian (and if anyone can identify its connection, if any, with those whose alma mater is Marborough College, I'll be most grateful for that - I've tried, for a long time, to make one, but always I have failed) before he went on to become the better known Charles Herbert Lowe-Wylde, whose Planette was to evolve into the BAC Drone.

Laβ uns wieder nach Deutschland gehen!
