• 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.

I don't have another photo of it Mike.


Another grainy flying boat-

In that case, one of the Rogers boats - looked at the RBX before and it didn't quite fit - how about the Sea Hawk ? (but it can't be - that had an inline motor...)
 
That is it.:guinness: And you were the one who mentioned it last March or so!:biggrin-new:

Apparently it stalled and crashed on a test flight in early 1929.
 
Oh, I completely forgot that. :icon_redface: Here is another commercially unsuccessful attempt.

It looks as if Gloster and Grumman met in the twenties ....... but what puzzles me more is what appears to be a petrol pump on the roof of the building behind the aeroplane!
 
OK, some extra bits: built as a Navy fighter by a small company, first tested on wheels, then on floats, destroyed during evaluation. No idea about the “fuel pump”, perhaps a turret clock. As usual for publications of that time the background has been “photo shopped”.

Thanks Uli - there was a bit of post-clashing going on there ! Managed to get the Eberhart just before your hint, thanks, of course, to the invaluable Mr Larkins....

Here's something different which should keep you occupied for about five minutes max............
