Why not post the partial photo as a pastime while you are silhouetting? Your famous silhouetting method takes five minutes, I keep hearing .

Good evening Graeme,

Stig, your No.10 looks different to my No.10, especially regards the tip shape and span.....
I'm pretty sure that's the Type 11 as I mentioned in my answer to Reg and seem like a typical "journo problem" mate!

Here's my one, although they just call it Coventry Ordnance Biplane

1913 | 0141 | Flight Archive Biplane

All things considered, I go along with Jane's attribution and the fact that the previous challenge was the one you show and it was described a type 11 then.

I'm back at work now and can't play 'till breaktime!

Sorry mate, that site won't load for me, something about Acrobat Reader?

But I believe what you say.

Not too sure if this qualifies though;
with apologies for the colour!



Should be a "Piece of Cake " for the aficionados of this site.

Tack, is it one of those projects where the engine is in the fuselage driving the props by some sort of mechanical linkage?

Just edited the drawing to remove aircraft identification from img!!
Will have to research that,Noyade. Have little on the aircraft at the moment, apart from country of origin and manufacturer.

Engine not within the fuselage,Noyade. Prototype was built, but was destroyed before any test flights could take place.
