Seeing as actual descriptions don't help much, I'll narrow it down a little, there's conflicting information about the year, but it's 1933/4

Had dinner, couple of glasses of wine...and bingo...the Farman F1020?

Bit confused though...the reg F-AMOG ties up with that on the French register. And its well documented on at least 2 aircraft search sites?

TCs' green light is on but he appears to have gone. May I therefore assume control on his behalf.

The Farman it is skytrain.

You have the thread.

Well done skytrain,

Sorry for any confusion about the Registration, I must find out your sites or search methods!!

I just sent LM the Reg, saying that although I couldn't find it on my favourite Reg site, there are people on this forum who will be able to tie it down.

I didn't give you control, as I had already relinquished control and was sure LM would have given the Go before I finished this message. Which I see he has!

Hard luck RegDep, I hope the fingertips heal soon

Do you know anything about "being on the wrong side of the drag curve"??

Thanks LM and Sinco....have to admit the year made it easier! And like you Sinco, I had never heard of it. On the plus side I've found a whole load of disc type aircraft...but its too fresh in everyones mind now to post one!

And sorry RegDep....after being posted for some hours just 14 minutes in it . Haven't been on Which Aerodrome for ages...must take a look again.

So lets go for something more conventional:

Wdit 2: And the pancke is in Russian Blin

If you're referring to my challenge RegDep, then yes, the 3-view was taken from the web.

Going to be offline for a while so will check in later.

And as for LM:
We're off to bed.
In otherwords he's drunk too much!!
