Jhieminga has the Bristol 173, so over to you

Well I was trying to give other folks a chance: I wasn't aiming to go for it but I assumed that was kind of obvious....

It is indeed the one-off original Lambach HL-2. The replica that was built between 1989 and 1995 will, I hope, fly again in the not too distant future, having been grounded since 1997.

No posts of yours have been deleted in this thread this year: maybe a bit of finger trouble?

Sorry SP - I didn't mean to imply it was a modded - sometimes I find I 've hit (or think I've hit) "Submit" but it never appears..... maybe I need to clean the keyboard.........

Looks European to me so let's try French....................

[dook]

It is not French either.

Odd ball this one. Possibly an optical allusion But the outboard portions of both upper and lower wings differ between port and starboard. Port upper wing seems longer and port lower wing more rounded than the starboard tip. Is that a Japanese red circle on fuselage side. Also where is the fin?

[dook]

The apparent difference in the wings is purely an illusion. The fin seems to invisible probably because of the camera deficiencies of the time.
It is not a red Japanese circle.

Here is the fin:

Thanks dook I thought that was the case. Interesting, it has the look of the Avro 500 yer the undercarriage struts seem to tie up with the inter plane struts.

[dook]

Sorry Mel but it's not an Avro.

This biplane was British.

Looks like Royal Aircraft Factory job - thought it might be a BE2 but the u/c is wrong.............. apologies for the typeface!![

[dook]

Not the Royal Aircraft Factory.

The photo is of the only one built.

The Flanders B.2 perhaps

[dook]

At least a little more interest.

Strike out the "perhaps".

Over to you.

Thanks dook, it was the undercarriage that threw me, most aircraft of that time the undercarriage was supported by the main fuselage but this one seemed to be from an extension of the inter-plane strut. I eventually tracked it down in Peter Lewis's book British Aircraft 1809-1914
a good challenge dook. thanks, Well it is certainly over 24 hours since you original post so here is the next. .
