The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Merry-go-round bipe is a Wright-Martin K-3 methinks. Also found it listed as a Martin K-3 & KF-1.
 
This very neat little cantilever biplane is a Darmstadt D-22. A stein of :icon29: ,some nice wurst and a dose of oompah music please, Kevin !

This is next one is another doddle for most of you. I shall have to work on some real stinkers as this forum is becoming very sophisticated !
 
We have two elderly British ladies here, the larger of the two being the Henderson H.S.F.1, and its wee sister the Henderson-Glenny H.S.F.II Gadfly.
 
Lefty scores big here. :icon29::icon29: Well done! Thought the pusher looked American (except maybe the engine).

Have at it-
 
The Henderson was also seen with a large greenhouse attached to the nose.

But to move on - what is this ? - a diificult view, but we'll see if I need to put up a sideways elevation !
 
Duh! It's the Fairchild XBQ-3. Not too many options with the Ranger V-770 engines. Another drone eh?
 
I gave deep consideration to posting a drone - the difference here is that this one was capable of, and was occasionally, flown by a real live pilot like the one in the pic !
Pure pilotless drones are off-limits, I fear.

As for your latest, well, bow ties and huge floppy caps = American, I fear.

This one looks like a Junkers food mixer.

-Stout Dragonfly (Stout) 1927 = 2pOmwM*Am; two 32hp Bristol Cherub. Short-coupled canard design with *two tandem wings, one tail-mounted and the other on the nose; triple tails; truss-mounted motors. POP: 1; all-metal corrugated experimental was badly damaged in hitting a bump during high-speed taxi tests and was scrapped.
 
James scores a cold one!:guinness: Well done.

Over to you-

Edit: I'm out of town until late Saturday. Internet access will be iffy at best.
 
Thanks Moses; a nice cold drink just when I needed it. :wiggle:

Can I do something a little different? If the answer is no; then I will submit another, and move this picture to a seperate thread. But you guys are something else; I didn't know if I could submit a "stinker" that you could not guess; but at the same time; I thought you could figure this real mystery out.

A co-worker to a member of the "The Old Hanger" website was given this picture, and asked what it was. So, let's see what you all think; the thing that makes my submittion different this time is that I am not sure what it is.

Here it goes:

-Thanks;
James

EDIT: I think everyone; including myself, thought the engine on the right belonged to this plane, and that it was a twin engined plane. But, studying it a little more; I think it is another example of the same plane facing the opposite direction; you can barely see the cockpit glass on the right edge of the picture. It must be another fusalage, sitting on a trailer.
