Thanks Moses!
Here goes my today's mysterious item with an extra wing...

Looks like a grown up relative of the Babysquale. Maybe produced lateron!

It's the Loring E-1 from in 1929.

Hat off Giru, it wasn't easy the Loring E-1 indeed...

Your turn Giru of course!

Thanks BG! The "extra fin" made the difference.

What about a wee early lightplane as a follow up?

Very dapper gentleman in front - not sure what the dog is doing - or going to do - or even done- though at the tail....!

Looks like a civilianised Nieuport 10 ?

 

[giruXX]

Yes, that’s a reasonable answer even if the type number isn’t “100% correct”.

The photo shows Nieuport 83 no. 8431 F-ATMT at Angers-Avrillé in 1924. The Nieuport 83 E2 was a derivative of the Nieuport 10 two-seater, with controls only for the pilot in the rear cockpit.

Here's a neat open-air machine -

 

[Moses03]

Pretty Albert A-60 of 1930.

 

[lefty]

Albert it is......

 

[Moses03]

Here is a somewhat elusive flying boat I have investigated in the past. Finally found a photo worth posting (barely!).

 

[Moses03]

Right! This one had a clerget engine and was the first effort from this firm who designed an array of both civil and military types right up until WWII.

 

[lefty]

Suspect it might be an F.B.A. Type 11 or 14 ?

 

[giruXX]

I'll put my coins on the Romano R1 because of the ressemblance with the replica displayed at Biscarosse

 

[Moses03]

It is the Romano. Right on gX!

Flown in 1922 and was tested with a 4-bladed prop as well.

These are the only other photos I could find. Anyone have a decent shot aside from the replica?

 

[lefty]

Comprehensively out-floatered - I'm losing it.........!

I'm wondering why anyone would go to the trouble of building a full-size replica of an obscure machine that only flew once ??

 

[giruXX]

@lefty: Mike, your question is appropriate!

Here is my next plane. The design isn’t too different from the previous one. Is it therefore a forerunner or a follower of the Romano R-1?

P.S.: the graphical upload manager is back!

 

[lefty]

Ha ! a Red Herring indeed - the Grigorovitch M-9.

 

[giruXX]

one out of ca. 500 Grigorovich M-9s
