I think that can do it mate, not to worry, it's sorted itself out now!
Reg, how about the SHAANXI AIRCRAFT COMPANY's (maybe AKA as the NAVAL AIR ESTABLISHMENT)
Chiang Gae'n two-seat reconnaissance biplane or advanced military trainer ??
Murray seems to be an Ace guy!! A Brit if he wins, but a Scot if he goes down

TC, I think you got close enough to it. In my source it is called Xuzhou (or Shuzhou) which is a town a bit west of Shanghai. And the manufacturer of several aircraft called Xuzhou Air Station may well be the NAVAL AIR ESTABLISHMENT that your Chiang Gae'n two-seat reconnaissance biplane or advanced military trainer comes from.
So, if others do not mind, I'll grant this one to you.

Xuzhou aircraft
Quite a few of the recent challenges I couldn't find on the net.
Not complaining, just interested.

You mean me? There's only three of us here...
.So thank you gentlemen. I am calling it a day. Good night!
Edit to say that it is the same where I and LM found your Heinkel, so why should we give it to you for free
.Good night.

Thanks Reg and Graeme.
My source says that the Shaanxi Aircraft Co relocated to Shanghai in 1931 and I guess that Xuzhou (or Shuzhou) is close enough to Shanghai for confusion!
Good Challenge mate.
Sleep well
Now what can I find that won't be in Greame's Bl
y book

But after I made that post, I examined the Russian KR-1 name and the images flooded the monitor as per David's photo.

Yes mate, but it's not really all down to skill, it can be very frustrating and often a minor change in the query makes all the difference. Trouble is all the search engines seem to have their own little foibles and you need to keep track of them.
IMO goggle is nowhere near as good as it used to be; it no longer offers "Search within results", which had degraded to being totally useless and there are far too many commercial sites that hijack your query and appear to offer just what you asked for, only to be presented with list of sales offers and commercial links. Quite a few of my old "good" aircraft favourites have been similarly hijcked and now do the same
It's just after midnight now and I have work tomorrow so I'm turning in soon.
Have a good day mate and keep rooting for Andy!
Edited to say
Sorry mate, not Australian, but not a million miles away!! Well even the Moon isn't is it
