The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

It is the Praga BH.111.

Next clue would have been that the Breda Ba.33 mentioned by Mike was an opponent in that competition. :very_drunk:

Over go you, Uli. :icon29:
 
It is [FONT=&quot]the ASL Viking :icon29:

I was surprised to see that the name "Viking" is so widely used in aviation.

Apparently this is the only known photograph of this aeroplane. It dates from 1916 and was the subject of a British government order. Thus it was allocated a RAF serial number. Whether it flew with that seems doubtful. Some say it never flew. Some say it was never built. But unless the photograph above is not of this aeroplane but of something else equally odd, the latter assertion seems improbable. What seems not to be in dispute is that it was unsuccessful and very poorly recorded.
 
Last clue. This photograph almost certainly was taken at Hendon. The aeroplane was the product of one of the most famous names there at the time.
