The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

There is not a word in that answer, Robert, with which I could disagree. Over to you!

Thanks, Mike!

Here is an older biplane, I would like to know the pusher.

 

[Moses03]

Looks like a captured Farman Mf.11.

 

[fabulousfour]

Not a Farman and not from France, Kevin.

Several hundred of this pusher were built.

Here is another view of that scene, have a closer look at the tail.

 

[giruXX]

this is like looking at a swarm of fish
so many tails

 

[fabulousfour]

But only one aircraft with a triple tail

By the way, the Albatrosses in the background are Austrian.

 

[giruXX]

thanks for that hint

I didn't want to count and compare the number of fuselages, engines, wings and fins, etc.

Savoia Pomiliio SP.III ???

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Savoia-Pomilio SP.3

The scene shows the Italian airfield Campoformido after been taken over by Austrian forces, the Italians had destroyed their own aircraft before.
The other biplane wrecks in the foreground are probably Sopwith Strutters.

Over to you, Mike.

Thank you Robert.. Here's a neat little number with a ghostly pilot - can find no previous appearance -

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Partenavia P86 Mosquito from

 

[lefty]

You got it, Jim -

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Thanks - on with a neat bipe

 

[pomme homme]

Blackburn Bluebird I.

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

That's the one over to you !

 

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Jim. Now here's a monoplane that was advanced for its time and may have influenced another design - although if, then, you'd suggested as much, a 'letter before action' probably would have been in the post!

 

[lefty]

Nice one, Mike - the Hendy 302A. Looks like it's landed on somebody's golf course !

 

[pomme homme]

I didn't think that this would last long, Mike. Basil Henderson influenced the design of the Gull? 'Tis a good job that Edgar Percival's long dead. If not, the writ would be on its way! Over to Scotland.

 

[lefty]

Thanks Mike - here's another water baby -
