And here is my new mystery.

Hi Robert!
It should be the Handley Page HPS1 (aka HP21) of 1923 (two ships commissioned by the US Navy)
Cheers

It is the Handley-Page.

Chris was a bit faster with an answer, so it is up to him to show us a new mystery.

 

[cthornburg]

a floater should be easy.


Chris

 

[lefty]

That's the Karhu 48-B from

 

[cthornburg]

Knew it would be easy over to you.

Chris

Thanks Chris - it is difficult to find anything that isn't easy for most of the regular crew here. I sometimes think we are guilty of scaring off newbies by becoming too obscure, but I suppose that's the nature of these quizzes.....

This one shouldn't hold up the flow for long - a pleasant-looking youngster -

 

[pomme homme]

On the basis that I think everything is (or, at least, should be) French, a Potez 36?

But maybe not - as I've only just noted that the aeroplane pictured appears to be a tandem two seater, whereas the Potez seats its occupants more sociably!

 

[lefty]

Mike, it is not a Potez. It is not French !

(there is a clue in my post....)

 

[fabulousfour]

I had that plane as a potential mystery in reserve, Mike.

That is the Fairchild FC-1 which took part in the Ford National Air Tours.

 

[lefty]

That's it, Robert ! ( 'pleasant-looking youngster' = fair child)

 

[fabulousfour]

Here is a biplane of about the same era.

 

[giruXX]

A Kjeller F.F.9 Kaje

 

[fabulousfour]

Nothing more to add, Uli.

Your turn, please.

 

[giruXX]

Thank you Robert.

On with this:

 

[Moses03]

You folks have been busy today.

I think the latest is a Stinson-Faucett F-19.

 

[lefty]

In-flight marmalade sandwiches ??

 

[giruXX]

Faucett F-19 is correct !

 

[Moses03]

Thanks, still trying to figure out the marmalade connection!


Here is a Moses twin boom pusher special and an amphibian at that.

First flown in December 1945.
