Morning RR.

Would I put up two British aeroplanes in a row?

It wasn't British.

No dihedral whatsoever.

Work started on it in 1911, with assembly beginning in 1922.

If it helps, I'll throw up the "photograph".

The country of origin will help.

Russian...ok how about the Tupolev ANT-1?

But if it is, I don't see where 1911 came from...design work started in 1921.

Excellent.

Tupolevs' first homebuilt aircraft. Tests cancelled due to engine malfunction.

I don't see where 1911 came from...design work started in 1921.
Typo.

Ball in your court.

A fighter surely - with what appear to be two big cannon.

Possibly German.

Good afternoon skytrain,

I think it's the Loire-Nieuport LN-401 ?

Nicely timed for coffee break! I originally found a 411, then when I checked I found what looked like your drawing and it was marked 401

If correct, then Open House please as break's over now.
