BAC Planette?

Yes Mike your reply is correct and indeed very fast: the BAC VII Planette from the UK
Your turn please
Cheers

[pomme homme]

Thank you, Carlo. Here's a 'one-off' development from the sixties.

 

[giruXX]

The Merville D.63 perhaps?

 

[pomme homme]

No perhaps about it, it is the Merville - or Druine - D.63. Had you not come up with the identification, Uli, I intended to post another photograph, taken from a different angle, which shows more clearly its Condor ancestry. But that's not necessary as it's over now to Germany.

 

[giruXX]

Thank you Mike.
Those of you who like may try to identify this.

 

[cthornburg]

Looks like modified Thomas Morse S-4 like I did earlier on forum but which one?

Chris

 

[giruXX]

Full hit, Chris!
Aerofiles says: "Evaluated for combat, but rejected and used as a trainer. In considerable varied civil use from war surplus; about 60 show thusly on records, with many converted to 90hp Curtiss OX-5."
I.e. one of those many. Over tothe US.

Nice little parasol

Chris

 

[cthornburg]

Sorry just found it recently on forum. Open House

Chris

To replace Chris`parasol wing, another one.

 

[wout]

She had a so-called geodetic wing construction. First flown 1965 with Continental A65 that was later traded in for a Lycoming O-145-B.
The registration was later transferred to a shoulder wing type by the same designer.

 

[fabulousfour]

Methinks this is the Foster Aerodyne N827Z from 1965.

 

[wout]

Hi fabulousfour
As can be expected you thinks is correct!

Go ahead, please

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Walter!

Do you have a photo of the Foster Airspeed with the same registration? Couldn`t find one in the www.

Here is a big biplane of an earlier era.

 

[wout]

This is the Foster Airspeed N827Z as requested by fabulousfour.
Note the vertical tail which resembles that of the Aerodyne.

 

[fabulousfour]

Great!
Many thanks for the photo, Walter!

 

[fabulousfour]

Back to the mystery.

The biplane is a one-off from a well-known manufacturer built shortly after WW1.

 

[lefty]

Found it ! It's the Farman Bn-4.

 

[fabulousfour]

Good detective work, Mike

It is the Farman BN.4, one of the lesser known derivatives of the Goliath.

Over to Scotland, please.

 

[lefty]

A floater - and, although similar, this is NOT a Curtiss......
