Evening Trevor. Getting nowhere with this one, but there again it's hard to figure the layout. Appears to be high wing, and judging from the design something from the early 1910's/20's? Presume open cockpit? 1 or 2 seats maybe?

Evening Ken,

Yes, High-wing, but closed cockpit from the 1920's, more than two seats and a first of its kind!

Not really; from the information I've given, just a handfull of quick searches will find it, plus I gave a cryptic clue to the name when I posted it !

Goodnight Ken,

Don't stay up all night watching the Superbowl, take an early bath and sleep well

In case anybody from across the pond looks in now, I ought to mention that my image didn't come from Aerofiles, but there are three on there!

Jacuzzi Reo (Dan Shumaker coll)

J-7 Reo or Rio 1920 = 7pChwM; 200hp Hall-Scott L-6; span: 52'0" length: 29'0". $14,000; POP: 1. First cabin monoplane built in US, planned for use in mail and passenger service, made many successful flights, even attaining 14,000' on a trip to Reno NV.

Afternoon Graeme,

Not maybe mate, as my mention of hot water and bath alluded to, it is the Jacuzzi J-7 Rio

The First Cabin Monoplane built in the USA, so a search on 7pChwM +first = one return! Seemples



Noyade has control

Evening Graeme,

Coffee break, looks pretty quiet mate

I wonder If I forgot anything?
If the answer is no, then it looks something like the Darmstadt D-22 (but it's not it I suspect)

If it's yes and you mean the interplane struts, then it looks like a cabin type biplane by the depth of the fuselage behind the upper wing (which is wrong for the D.22)

Back to work now catchya later

Morning/Evening as appropriate.
The Darmstadt D.22 wouldn't get my vote Trevor...the shape of the wing looks wrong and the tail appears squatter. I also think the recess on the upper wing above the cockpit would show from that angle. Mind you who am I to say....I looked at the BFW M.35 in respect of a previous challenge and decided it didn't look right so moved on!!
