Not German and has a sleeve. Someone just posted a wire-tangle, so he has to wait.

The challenge was designed by a person from one country and built by a manufacturer in another.

The two countries are a long way apart.

1911 AVRO-Alvasaton-Duigan sport-tractor biplane

Country of Origin: Australia/UK Designed by John R. Duigan (Australian) Built by AVRO UK

Gan he post now (the "Gerry")?

Edit to say that probably the same as what another site calls Avro typ D 1911, which I looked at first thing after the posting, but determined that the tail was a bit different….
