The forward structure looks very similar to the English Electric Kingston.



Therefore I will go for either the English Electric Kingston or the Phoenix P5 Cork MkIII.

But it is British, how about a Felixstowe boat, the F5.

It is indeed the Felixstowe F5. In fact the one at Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum.

You have control.

No takers? It is an aircraft from the USA 1920/1930 era.

The aircraft in the photograph is a Bellanca Pacemaker. However, the Skyrocket was a development of the Pacemaker so Woods has it. However Open House has been declared.

Side by side config., retractable gear, single throttle (no Mix or RPM - so jet), I think its the Sud-Ouest Triton.
