Well, there was one of those in Ilford at that time, so was it British?

Perhaps designed by a gentleman with a Scottish name.

From the source I have it is called one thing and on the net it is called another. I'll accept either. However, neither involves a Mr Gordon!

It originated as a differnt flying machine, or machines!

30mins to go!

Hi Guys,

First break of the day!! Don't ask, all sorts of stuff in the fan.

I think it's a silly "Brokker". That is Sqdn-Ldr Gray's Monoplane made from Bristol fighter and Fokker D.VII bits

I've got to go at about 7:30, so if it's correct can you put up image 004 LM, and can I send you the answer and clues to your home if it hasn't gone by then? If not it'll have to be an OH.

Hi Stig!!

LM will hate you!!! Yes, the Brokker. As you say, built from a Brisfit and a Fokker D.7

You have CONTROL!

David, it was Itford Hill, rather than Ilford! Close, but no cigar!

If you want one of yours up TC, it will be about half an hour or so since my transport has just arrived.

Thanks RR,

with all those clues, "Fright Archive" was my five minute friend, even with its crap search engine!

Thanks LM, there may be more about by then, if I can send you the answer and clues before I have to go, please put up 004. Thanks

Hi Ton,

I've just seen your name on the active user list, I hope you had a good holiday. I can't post at the moment, so if you've got anything up your sleeve and you can monitor it this evening, please go ahead, otherwise we'll have to wait for LM to get home and be my Proxy.

Good afternoon all....I see a few are on-line. Busy day at the "home" office today...looks live you've been pretty active on SC as well. And good to see a new face on the forum.

I liked the Norge aircraft Martin...wish I had seen it earlier...the tail is quite distinctive but I've only ever seen a photo of it as a seaplane, so whether I would have got there or not I really don't know!

So we are waiting on LM to post your challenge 004 Sinco....
