Well it took you ages !! :very_drunk: goes to Texas.

Curiously, Jane's has this as the Hanriot 130, with a 600hp Gnome-Rhone. Wrong on both counts, methinks. The line between Hanriot and Lorraine-Hanriot also seems to be an indistinct one -even Aviafrance is confused. I wonder if any of our French contributors could enlighten me..... (This site only serves to confuse further - http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9744.5;wap2)
 
This pretty airliner should not cause too much fuss...

If you were kind enough to report my opinion I would say that Lefty's image is a Hanriot H131 (the second offspring with a more powerful engine Gnome-Rhône 9kbrs [450HP] while the first i.e. the Lorraine-Hanriot LH130 had a weaker engine Lorraine 9Nb [230HP]).
At first sight they both look the same although I seem to detect some differences in the engine cowling and in the vertical tail.
Well to make cocksure it's enough to lift up the respective engine cowling and see what's underneath!
Cheers

Sorry for the delay, chaps. Here is a smaller machine - I have helpfully left a clue to the engine-maker (not that it will help you much, methinks :mixed-smiley-010: )
 
Busy morning in the mystery thread. I like that.

Cheers to BG on the SM.84:very_drunk: We need one for FS!


As far as Lefty's latest putt-putt, hmm...
 
Ha! Knew it was German. It's the Wagener HW4a with the...wait for it...Festenberg-Pakisch engine. Nice of Lefty to leave that arcane clue in there.
 
Good spotting there, Moses - over to you sir ( you've got to appreciate a man who knows his Festenberg-Pakisches....) Stein of Schottenhamel for the Texan, please......:very_drunk:
