Thank you, Chris.

It doesn't seem that we've had this one before, although we have had its big brother which, based on my research, erroneously was given the identity of the prototype from which this one evolved!

I think this one crashed during a race meeting at Wolverhampton ( or maybe Coventry), it high speed stalled at one of the turning pylons. Pilot unfortunately died & that was the end for Mosscraft.

It was Mosscraft MA.1 G-AEST that suffered a fatal crash near Newport in the 1950 Kings Cup Air Race when it stalled and spun in off a steep turn. Mosscraft MA.2 G-AFMS crashed near Builth Wells in 1958.

The actual mystery could be the S.F.C.A. Maillet 20

 

[pomme homme]

It's a 201, the designation given to the thirty of the type produced for l'Armée de l'Air, but Maillet 20 is good enough for me. Over to you, Uli.

Messerschmitt BF 163 methinks.

Currently enjoying 41C today. Argh.

[Moses03]

Thanks Uli.

Up next, a biplane.

 

[Moses03]

Three known built in the early 1920's and the last design on record from this person.

I think this is the Wissler WA-9 from Ohio.

 

[Moses03]

Sure is!

Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Another biplane, only a little younger than the last one.

 

[fabulousfour]

An American biplane with a French engine.

 

[fabulousfour]

According to aerofiles the engine is a Salmson, in the photo there the plane shows a slightly different appearance.

 

[giruXX]

One of the Woodson Express 2-A or 3-A as it looks like this http://www.aerofiles.com/woodson-2a.jpg

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Woodson Express 2-A.

Enjoy your pint, Uli
