To save you a lot of ferreting, it's not Russian!

It's from the mid-twenties. It is on a popular website, with this photo and some basic information. The manufacturer's name doesn't seem to fit well with the nationality of the site.

Yup, definately getting too soft LM, but I do like to see things moving and an hour without a squeak gets me anxious!

That's the one, the Schneider Sch-10M well done, one11 has Control

There's a lot more interesting stuff about it here (and on the previous page), but it was a to find because of some damned seaplane trophy popular at the time.

Is this one of Michael O'Leary's early tests for standing-room-only flights ?

No denying that LM, let's hear it for Lady H, RJM and especially in the present circumstances, RR (not you Martin, sorry mate) It just tended to hog Fright Archive's limit of 100 results and I had to get devious to winkle out what I needed, lots of nice clue material, then I went and blew it

Good evening one11,

It looks like you're on a lonely vigil at the moment, between the day/night shifts.

Just finished work and time for a quick look before I go too!

I think that your challeng looks like it may be a Letov SM-1 (with the Maybach engine)??

I'm off now, so please declare Open House if correct.

Good morning Ken and goodnight Graeme.

Morning LM,

It looks like the Cato Sport Plane of 1919 to me (AKA as the L-W-F-Cato)?

Starting work now, but will keep my light on and eyes open!
