The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Are those photos from the same aircraft, Kevin? The gear of the second one (and some more details) looks quite different. :dizzy:

In the second picture it should be the Staig monoplane from Australia.

Edit: Mike seems to have noticed it as well, missed his answer when changing the page.
 
Valid questions Gents and I wondered myself. It is possible the craft went through a couple of permutations with an engine change and reworked gear. The obvious Flight archive photo might be suspect.

It is the Staig though so over to Robert.:guinness:


Here is the best photo of it's final form which I could not use due to easy googling. BTW- The Monoplane soldiered on until destroyed by a fire in 1941.

Interesting! The plane must have changed its appearance during its lifetime quite a lot.

Here is a biplane of about the same vintage.

Hint time. Wright engine. A dozen or so produced (not all floaters). From the land of Moses (our one....)
 
I couldn't see anything, Kevin. Just a grey rectangle with the words 'Attached Image' which, when clicked on, produced nothing.

Edit - but now the photo has appeared!
 
I was going by the date in Aerofiles, whether that is accurate or not.

Continuing on with a nice tourer.
