Mel, well done it is the Dabrowski D1 Cykacz from Poland. Just one was built, first flown in 1925. Power plant was a Blackburne Tomtit engine.

Over to you Mel.

Ken, you have obviously read the book. . It certainly is the BOK-5. You regain control.

Oddly enough I was looking through a book on Russian aircraft this morning....searching for what turned out to be an Antonov! Otherwise I think it would have taken me a little longer!

Here's an easy one.....

All very quiet, so perhaps a little assistance.

Prototype of this aircraft was powered by an ADC Cirrus engine, production aircraft by a Walter Junior.

Good morning!!! I'm guessing that it is not British. I've no idea as yet but, fishing as always, I'd suggest that it is scandinavan in origin?

Morning Martin.....your guess is correct, its not British (despite its close appearance to the previously mentioned Miles aircraft), and to save you searching through the manufacturers of Norway, Sweden etc, its not from Scandinavia.

Well done teusje , it is the Gonzáles Gil-Pazó GP-1 from Spain. First flown in 1934. 40 were produced, 10 of which survived and went on to the Spanish civil register.


You have control.
