Taylor Tinker Toy

LM I saw you edited yours, but mine was mis-spelled, too

Edit to say: I Giggled Graeme's "specification" and got a link which did not open, but the gist revealed it. BUT when I looked at pictures from the same Giggle, there were two links with many pictures.....

What's with the "multi-storey car park". Is that a clue?

No - I have decided to put a little text on my pics.

Not American.

A Farman bi-plane on its way to Hong kong Arrivals hall, passing the car-park?

Sorry, wasn't that. Got the idea by Giggling "biplane multi_storey_car_park"

Taking the garage background as a hint of a replica, I'd ask is this a faithful replica re. struts and landing gear?

On a second thought Gerner G I at the ILA 1928, Berlin - "car-park" being a red herring



Dieses erste Flugzeug, von ihm mit G I bezeichnet, war ein kleiner zweisitziger Doppeldecker mit nur 6,0 m Spannweite, der lediglich 200 kg wog, aber gleichzeitig 200 kg Nutzlast befördern können sollte, ein sonst kaum erreichtes Verhältnis von Nutzlast zu Leergewicht. Gerner baute es selbst mit nur einem weiteren, überaus tüchtigen Helfer namens Eduard Rottke. Wer es eingeflogen hat, ist nicht bekannt. Ebenso steht nicht fest, ob dies noch vor der ILA geschah, die vom 7. bis zum 28. Oktober in Berlin stattfand, oder erst nachher. Auf jeden Fall konnte er das Flugzeug dort bereits ausstellen. Mit einem Anzani Dreizylindermotor von 35 PS sollte es für RM 5200.- zu haben sein, während es mit einem englischen ABC Zweizylinder-Boxermotor von 39 PS auf RM 6400.- gekommen wäre. Da es zwar den Namen Frankfurt, jedoch niemals eine offizielle Zulassung erhielt, konnte es wohl nur innerhalb des Flughafenbereichs Frankfurt-Rebstock geflogen werden. Die meisten der weiteren Erprobungsflüge machte anscheinend der bei der ortsansässigen Südwestdeutschen Luftverkehrs-AG als Fluglehrer tätige Erich Wiegmeyer, der mit dem Flugzeug allerdings auch am 25. September 1929 einen Bruch mit Totalschaden hinlegte. Größeres Interesse scheint dieser Erstling von Gerner nicht erweckt zu haben, denn weitere Exemplare wurden nicht gebaut.

Sorry for the delay Reg - I have been teaching.

The Gerner G1 Adler it is, and mine was not a replica.

All yours.

V.V. Iordan biplane

Despite aircraft was not finished, it deserves to be mentioned due to its layout, very advanced for the time. Later fuselage of oval cross-section, pushed forward upper wing and triangle landing gear frame will be common features among light biplanes.

Good evening LM and Reg,

Busy day today at work, going home soon so time for a quick look.

Played a hunch and soon found the Astoux-Verdrines Triplane.

I will try and prep something before I go and hope that my home connection is usable tonight!
