Sounds like you know what it is RegDep? Yes, reportedly it never flew.

No, I have no idea. Just fishing.

Although just today read about an a/c where the cockpit was open but there was a closed cabin for passengers. Not sure if it was a seaplane.... My memory is good but pretty short.

Good evening skytrain,

A little more fishing; does it belong to the 1920's, are they Liberty engines and is it on the Web ?

Hi Sinco
- 1920's....yes
- Liberty engines...no
- web....yes
Hopefully that will help you.
Just off to cut the grass now, so will check-in a little later.

Thanks for that, I've got to go soon and my internet seems very slow tonight!

So not American engines ? are they German ? Is it on Aerofiles ?

Probably missed you now, but it may help someone else

We get used to that here! Perils of living in the sticks I guess.

Just taking a half time break
- engines are not German
- its on Aerofiles

Cheers

Thanks skytrain, just shutting down when your reply came in and it spurred me on to talke another look.

It's the Cox-Klemin CK-1

That took a bit of winkling out mate!! (must make a note of getting that year book) Good one

I'm off home now, so Open House please if you confirm.

Lawns cut...finally!

Well done Sinco, it is the Cox-Klemin CK-1. I had wondered how it would turn out bearing in mind that Aerofiles have it down under the wrong name (they list it as the CK-2A)! No picture to offer unfortunately.

SincoTC has declared Open House.

Morning LM and RR
I'm around too...back in the garden today, wood cutting and more grass to cut. Bit of work around the house...a door to hang...other than that hoping for a relaxed weekend. What you up to David?

And stand-by for the next challenge.
