• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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 politician 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 among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi Lefty!
Let me give you a few hints: she's a german girl and if you look into "histaviation" you'll find her....

Struggling to decide whether this is N.A.F. or Martin or Douglas - , PN12, PM1 or PD-1, all of which are more or less identical !

On the other hand, maybe it's yet another variation.............Moses doesn't usually let us off so lightly......

(Sorry, BG, your post magically appeared as soon as mine was posted ! Your show, sir !)

Thanks Moses and Lefty. Frankly I wasn't thinking of being on the right side.....anyway here goes my offer and I hope you don't mind my submitting a drawing as in spite of my efforts I wasn't able to locate a real pic of this particular item....
Cheers

Thanks BG - the Levy-Biche was a despairing guess, I have to confess ! Suspect there probably isn't a photo...although the Texan vaults probably have one !

Don't normally do the early stuff, but as you know I love a floater, and this one appealed to me because of its unusual single float -must have been fun taxiing in a breeze.
 
I looked for the Levy-Biche but could not unearth a photo.

Have seen Lefty's floater before...


Edit: Wait for it...the Esnault-Pelterie Type K of 1912.
 
Well done indeed, Kevin - I thought this flotteur would last longer..........:icon29:

I uncovered a whole nest of these whilst looking for something else - there were some fascinating designs around pre-WW1.
