It's how I found it, apart from the white-black inversion.

You've never done a "fuzzy" engine like that before...benchmark is slipping...

Looks British or French so most likely American?

Go on say it....I'm awesome!

It's a beautiful silhouette David, but I'll let someone else solve it. Awesome and generous.

Till next time....

Is that a six cylinder radial engine? The only one I can find is the 80hp smith radial of 1913, and that went on a couple of Partridge-Keller machines that look nothing like the challenge.

All radials have an odd number of cylinders.

The listing gives this as an Anzani.

It's on Aerofiles.

Bellanca CE with Anzani

EDIT: Had Anzani before you said it. To me, 6 is an odd number.

You'll have to wait maybe 30-40 minutes while I process your next one.......

Thanks LM.

If someone is revving his engine too loud, I'm willing to give way. Otherwise we need to wait.

Back. One course and two bottles. I like that ratio better than yours. What has everybody done here? Sitting on their collective thumbs?

Closing the shop for today. In order to give the Ozzies a fair chance to demonstrate their genius, next clue will be given tomorrow morning Central European (including Paris, Rome, Eindhoven and Hammerfest, to mention top four) time. Nite!
