Sorry, got carried away. Yes it is Mitsubishi B1M1b, connection to Handley Page is a British designer.

Graeme has declared an Open House, unless the thread wishes to hibernate the European winter day, which sounds like a viable alternative. I need not to look out of the window, just TV weatherman makes me shiver. And this time not because of his sponsored outfit.

This is a rare 2 seat version of what was originally a single seater.

I can find nothing to say if it was side-by-side or tandem, but it seems to be side-by-side.

Somehow SPADdish.

No, the wing is too high and the tail too sharp.

Hah! Sikorsky S 16.

The "other guy" (left on your pic) may be some kind of cover for back and not a real guy.....

Bingo.

Your turn - and you have a choice of two which you can post, not me.

See what you think of the seats/guys in this picture:

Thre russian text says that the pilot and the observer sat "рядом" which according to the dictionary means

next
beside
nearby
alongside
by
side by side
next door
next door to
abreast
adjacently
hard by
nigh
about
at one's elbow

My reading is side-by-side. Maybe the other one is just frozen stiff. In that case, my sympathy is solely on his side.

There you go.

Now buy yourself Photoshop as an Xmas present and do all the art stuff.

Mechta,

The Nooooo-o was not empathic but sympathetic-hesitant.

Take a wing from Dewoitine D.9, an engine meant for Ansaldo AC.3, borrow some drawings from Ansaldo, paint new colours to the tail, and you get.......
