I'll leave you with another clue mate.

Here is the designer...



The photos above are on the net. When you find it, just move on as I suspect no one will be around to confirm it? Night.

(Why don't you have a crack at "Challenge" as well - chopper, chopper chopper...)

A'rtnoon David ,

TC is probably working
Indeed I am; just having a quick break, but looks like I have missed Graeme!

That's the Lawrence Wackett Warbler

If that's a bipe, does it have reverse stagger?

Evening.

Good job on the Warbler Trevor.



Similar in one way to the last challenge
In what way mate?
European?
Did it participate in WWII?

G'afternoon Graeme ,

Thanks, the Warbler looked like an interesting little machine.

European?

It's a parasol mate

European, late twenties, trainer and utility aircraft, but also used for reconnaissance, presumably during WWII.

Morning Irishair,

Not such a wild guess, correct manufacturer, wrong type by a very small margin!!

Edit to say that I'm not looking for a variant of the IV, we've had them before and as I said in answer to Graeme it's not a fighter.

Morning LM

It seem like irishair has done a hit and run (not on active list but I see his light is still on)!

No problems irishair, you were so close and as your light was on I was expecting you to close the deal, but LM beat you to it!

Now where is LM??

Edit:
Out of interest irishair, have you got to grips with image posting, I seem to recall that in previous times you had to call OH because of this?

Just for once, I didn't have a problem with that challenge because it was in my portfolio as a future challenge.

With gratitude to Photoshop.........

Hmm,

Is your latest pre-1914 ? a two-seater? and is that a V-Twin or Triple "Fan-type" of some kind?

Just going out to cut the grass before it gets too wet again, back soon!!

Pre-1914 - two seater.

Not a V-twin.

It's a radial and I have just noticed that the "neon glow" software didn't quite portray it well.

My post has been edited to show the engine shape more accurately.
