... indeed ... This is the Latécoère Laté 8 of the "Lignes Aeriennes Latécoère" from

Indeed it is, Gx.

I am trying to stay on beaten paths as well ...

Well that would appear to be the Vickers Vulture (probably G-EBHO ?). Had me confused at first because the photo makes it look as though it employs a tractor, rather than pusher, prop !

Cheers Mike

It is Vickers Vulture II, G-EBHO at Calcutta in May 1924 during her unhappy attempt to circumvent the world.

This looks very much to me like a Heinkel He1....

Not a Heinkel, BG...

Caspar S-1 I think (designed by Heinkel and a forerunner of the Heinkel HE1....)

Van Berkel W-B from

History

Van Berkel was commissioned in 1919 to develop a long-range sea scout. The design was based on the Hansa-Brandenburg W.29, an example of which had been interned.
The chief engineer of Van Berkel, ir Von Baumhauer changed de design severely. Van Berkel WB was larger than the W.29 and the engine was more powerful.

gX got the flying Dutchman.....

Offering some change. Here is a little bit of everything: flyer, floater, race car, etc.

 

[Baragouin]

Not a Heinkel, BG...

I thought so...it was too easy (on the other hand I was prompted to opt for a teutonic floater after looking at the shaven nape of the guy on the foreground!)...
