The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I'm surprised that this has lasted so long. Whilst admitting that it's something of a curveball, if one thinks laterally it's not too difficult to identify - even without the clue which I left in the photograph!
 
I think this is a Westland Widgeon III.

Quite interesting that while the Widgeon III is the most built variant of that type, when googling for a Widgeon by far most hits show the open cockpit parasol - or the helicopter...
 
Congratulations :icon29:, Robert. It is a Widgeon III. More specifically, G-EBRO with the temporary cabin top that was fitted in 1928. And the clue? That was the silhouette of a widgeon on the forward cabin door - although anyone could be forgiven for failing to identify it as such and thinking it to be a mark on the photograph! Next please.
 
Thanks, Mike.
Next one is a contemporary of the Widgeon.

Looks like but isn't...

Good detective work, Kevin, it is the Genairco Cabin.

Over to a hopefully warmer Texas, last week was rather chilly here with temperatures near -18 C/ 0 F some days

:icon29:
 
Thanks Robert. Woke up to -15C this morning and about 5" of snow. A near record low temp for this area. Our heater is struggling to keep the house at 18C inside. We are supposed to get hit with another round of snow on Wed, forecasted to 10". Just crazy for normally tepid in winter Texas.

Onward with a warmer climate bird...

Right on Mike.:very_drunk: Malta indeed and Coastal Command guise, just not sure of the Squadron. (Photo dated 1943).

Over to warmer Fife(?).
 
A little warmer this week, Kevin. A few days ago it was -12C here, today +7C. The snow is melting away......

Here is a machine taking some brave souls for a joyride. Apparently they did not even offer lap belts !

Yes, Uli, it's the Charabanc. :very_drunk:

I am old enough to remember being on a trip in a road-going charabanc - which was fun. This, I'm not so sure ! Over to you..
