H Hour has passed.

Dook you are correct it is the Akaflieg Berlin AB4. You have control.

[dook]

Thank you MReyn - that was not an easy one.

[cavuman1]

The pilot bears a strong resemblance to Charles Lindbergh and the aircraft's strut/gear arrangement resembles a custom-built Ryan. Perhaps I should put on my reading glasses.

- Ed

[dook]

That's probably a very good idea.

[treadigraph]

Must admit that I thought pretty much the same Ed, particularly the Lindbergh bit! Couldn't find a Ryan that fitted the bill though... and, yes, I'm using an old prescription!

[dook]

You won't find a Ryan which fits because it's not a Ryan.

[MReyn24050]

Don't know about a Ryan more of a bit of a Lark really, I am sure it's in Aerofiles somewhere.

[dook]

Unlike your AQ !!

[sycamore]

How`s about a Curtiss Robin.....? OH if correct ,as and when....

[dook]

Not the Curtiss I'm afraid - check the fin.

[Asturias56]

It is American then?

[dook]

it was indeed American.

[dook]

120hp Cessna-Anzani.

[longer ron]

The 1931 three seat Sky-Lark was designed by Arnold H Galvin, a Lincoln School of Flying A&E instructor, and built as a class project.

We had identified the Anzani 10 as the engine but had really struggled to find the actual aircraft - nice challenge Dook
Aircraft maybe based a little on the Travel Air 10b ?

OH if correct

[PDR1]

Is it the 2021-recertified B737Max8?
