Here is a closer shot of the engine. Very nice and clean engineering for it's time.

Note the 3-bladed prop. The engine is of a distinctive type which can easily be searched, leading to this flying boat so I will hold that back.
 
Not a Salmson Mike. This floater was custom built for a client and hails from the USA. Flown just prior to WWI.
 
It is! Suds for Uli.:icon29:

Not sure what became of it. The Washington Aeroplane Company was partially financed by Emile Berliner if I recall correctly.

Should mention that Lefty scored some style points as the Gyro engine was a rotary arrangement.
 
According to his name, I would never associate this manufacturer with aircraft, but he produced several (mostly military) types from 1916 to 1922.
 
Congratulation, Mike. :encouragement:

Thought that this mystery would last a bit longer.

It is the Partenavia Astore of course. :icon29:

Over to Scotland, please.
