Nice pics Martin.

Wossa camera? I use a Canon DSLR, often with a 300mm telephoto.

300mm telephoto.
Pffffffttt...that's not a lens....this is a lens...so fricken powerful you need to wear an asbestos suit!...



No idea Richard, actually, that's a lie...I had a few ideas and found similar looking triplanes but none matched exactly...

Not so wild : it's the Hannover F 10 ,the first civil German Aircraft after WW I first flown January 1919 .

You have the control .

Thank you Richard. I said a wild guess because I found the description of the aircraft but could not find a photograph. I believe it had a biplane tailplane also.
Here is the next, a much easier one.

You have it, as you say the Type 120 with the turret.

You have control.

Yep - Brabazon - found this while looking up Bristol sources for Mel's challenge
