Evening Graeme.

Your challenge looks like a Royal Aircraft Factory BE12 with a different engine.

Is it the one with the 200 h.p. Hispano Suiza? The model 12b?

Thanks for the card mate - I knew it couldn't be a Christmas Special n- not with a felt-tip.

Just before we all get totally fed up with biplanes:



Nite nite........

Sounds interesting - don't tell me, its really a triplane but the middle wing is hidden by the fuselage?
British?

But it is. Well, my attempt anyway. Somewhere in those stars is an aircraft profile. To know what type, you need to answer the clue I provided.

Your biplane...I'll wait for more clues.....

Good morning/evening.

No mate - it really is/was a biplane.

BTW guys,

Apologies for my late post last night but we were in town being treated to a rather good oriental meal by our son.

Morning all
David....so my original suggestion was British, but having had a more detailed look I can't see anything.
Would it be American?

Haven't noticed a clue, but if I'm interpreting the silhouette correctly there is something a little unusual about the design!

The only unusual thing about it are the bracing struts running from the front of the engine to the upper wing.

Wanna nuther clue?
