• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

It's a Curtiss F Boat modified in 1913 for the tractor magnate Harold F McCormick.(Also known as the 'Spoonbill') I think Uli in his post signalled that he knew it, so over to him - :icon29:
 
Thank you Mike! Yes I was thinking of the flying Curtiss tractor built for McCormick!


Here is something to entertain you further (I don't think that it will occupy you too much)

Your aggie is possibly the Weatherly WM-62C ?
 
Good research there, Chris. Designed, of course, by Reginald J Mitchell, of Spitfire fame. Over to you......:applause:
 
The manufacturer's name dates from before WW1.
But by the time this autogyro flew the manufacturer had not relation anymore with pioneering one.
 
The designer's Nº 1 biplane was on here about four years ago. This is his No.2, in sesquiplane form, before the lower mainplanes were extended to full length
