• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Apologies for jumping in with my question!
The year in question is much later, although the aircraft is possibly older. Look at the background & notice the word on the Hangar. This aircraft still exists!

I only found out yesterday from Googling Bleriot crash that it was in June 1936 & that the a/c is a Bleriot XXVII & it now lives in the RAF Museum at Hendon. Its S/n is 433 & probably made in 1911 & displayed at the Paris show in that year.

The little beastie is the Lonek L-5 of 1932.

Edit: Pretty sure about this one so I'm going to press on since I will be away this evening. Everyone likes a floater, right?
 
Hmmmm, liberal application of the TGF here (Texas Grain Filter). And what on earth is going on above and below the tail ? Is that a watermark ??
 
Thanks John. Just got lucky remembering that particular photo.

Here is a better shot of the floater. Note the extra rudder bit is still there.
 
Having griped about photo quality, I can only grovel in apology about this one - a dual-nationality military job....
