The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks, Yann

As it is raining buckets here today, I shall stick to a watery theme - a nice (and this time really easy) one...
 
OH dear, the bug's got to this forum ! I am shown as having posted this morning, but the post itself has disappeared.

No, there it is now - I can see it is going to be one of those days.
 
I think I'll wait for affirmation before posting a plane.. it's hopefully a challenging one.
 
Well, after the Finnmark, we now have a Finn who's on the mark ! :costumes: (sorry about that one)

Yes it's a Fairchild 91, Captured by the Nationalists from a ship in the Bay of Biscay and serving with them throughout the Spanish Civil War.

they both are same plane as you can tell, but what plane is it? :d
 
it indeed is Burgess-Dunne from 1914. That didn't last too long, only.. 23 minutes.:redf::banghead: I'll get more challenging one next time, your turn. :applause:

Next one, then. Probably an easy one:
 
See Lionus ? That was an easy one :d

:icon29: over to Lefty (maybe a glass of Laphroaig would do better at that time of day but there's no icon for it ;) )
 
Gulp ! You got it - the Moses treasure chest has more gems than I thought - a :icon29: for you, and I'll have one myself to cheer me up - it has been an unutterably foul day here - wind, rain, and general misery.
 
I don't have much on those types but got lucky this time.

That weather you describe actually sounds good to me. Could use a bit of that in this sun-drenched dustbowl.

Here is the next one. I like the look of this bipe-
 
Funnily enough, last weekend I visited Cragside, the house in Northumberland built by William, Lord Armstrong. This aircraft bears his name, as founder of the great armaments empire.

It is an Armstrong Whitworth A.W.XVI
