Fokker but not a CO4. This one was still around for a brief part in WW2

OK Then I'll try a Spad XIII and I won't hold my breath...........

Change of mind, Spad VII seems more suitable.....

G'day mate! Morane-Sauliner, but not the L. This machine is a later model and an example still flies with the Salis Collection at La Ferté. It once belonged to Jean Salis's father and was restored during the 50's and 60's.

The A1 it has to be? He said, having been handed the 'guess' on a plate!

Looking through Mel's list there are quite a few cockpits missing but finding the pics to match is not easy..........imho.

Thanks Noyade! You did it yourself really!

Give me an hour to find.... anything with a joystick.......




Now then, there is more than one type of aircraft with the same designation. All by the same manufacturer. I am going by the name listed in the USA aircraft registrations data using the
registration I removed from the pic. With reference to Mel's bible of course [without which there would be so much repetition!]

Not a Pitcairn autogiro, this machine is a biplane.

Just noticed that a Pticairn Autogiro is listed but is much lower on the alphabetically listed page.
