The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Interesting - not seen that pic before - must be one of the early prototypes with no dorsal fin extension.
 
Hmmmm. Has to be European - looks Swiss but isn't. Like a Fokker C.VIII. Will investigate tomorrow when more awake.
 
If I gave you all the engine it would have been guessed straight away. This is a Breda A.7. Have to run...open house please.
 
Close enough, Kevin . This is actually the third prototype Villiers 4, which, because of its different configuration (single central float) was given the designation Villiers 11 - another inexplicable Gallicism. :icon29:to Texas.
 
Thanks. I was just glad to figure out it was a Villiers! Attached is all I could find outside of Aviafrance on the 4.



Here is another French build. Of the non-floating variety of course.
 
Alert bunch this morning. I like that.:icon_lol:

:icon29: on the C.P.A. bomber. The only aircraft produced by that firm. Over to the Scotsman-
 
Alas, Rob, the bet was intended for the Cowboy - now we'll never know.........

But have a glass of my Old Pulteney anyway - just a touch of spring water....

Here's a bit of fun. This apparatus did fly (piloted!) for a brief flip in 1928 and was at the time the smallest aircraft in the world. Any guesses ?
 
Won't leave this hanging around too long, but somebody might just dig it up.

From one of the lesser European nations.
