Name that Flying Machine

[meleagertoo]

I'll call that a Hamilton H47
Wossat??? That's what I thought too!

[FlightlessParrot]

The Wikipedia article on the Hamilton H-47 includes a marvellous example of marketing chutzpah:

During 1930, Isthmian Airways used Hamilton floatplanes for their service linking the Atlantic to the Pacific between respectively Cristóbal, Colón and Balboa in the Panama Canal Zone. The airline impudently claimed the 30-minute flight as the "fastest transcontinental service in North America".

Well done Meleagertoo!
Yes the Hamilton H47 MetalPlane.
This last remaining airworthy example on one of its visits to Oshkosh.

Over to you.

Interesting looking machine, and intrigued too to see that the "Hamilton" logo is legible-ish on the photo above but I couldn't for the life of me make anything of it at all it against the corrugations in the original b & w pic.

Anyhoo, OH please.

Came across this one recently. It has a design feature way ahead of its time!

[Jhieminga]

Junkers 252 with 'trapoklappe'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_252

OH again I'm afraid.

[Terry Dactil]

Sorry, but it is not a Junkers Ju 252
(there is no aerodynamic balance on the rudder)

[Noyade]

Junkers Ju 352?

I stand corrected, I had forgotten how similar these two beasts were...

Noyade has it with the Junkers Ju 352
A 3 engine aircraft with ventral stairs; so far ahead of Boeing who waited for jet engines and tricycle undercarriages before making the B727.

Thanks Terry.

Try this...

[Jhieminga]

Harrier GR.3?

[treadigraph]

Noyade, is that at Chino by any chance?

[Noyade]

Hi Jhieminga. Not the Harrier - but another very famous British aircraft.
Hi treadigraph. Not Chino. I took the photo in February last year in Wollongong.

[Terry Dactil]

Plenty of military stuff at the HARS museum down there.
Perhaps it is looking into the wing-tip searchlight from a P2V Neptune?

Hunter nose with light?

G'day UV. Hunter will do me nicely. The photo-reconnaissance version....

Sorry, will have to be OH.

[treadigraph]

I did ponder Hunter briefly then thought "nah!" I spotted the Tracker behind which is what made me think of Chino, but looking at Googlemaps I can't see any outside...
