Name that Flying Machine

It was an Anzani 3 cylinder engine.

I'm trying to rationalise late 20's with an Anzani three cylinder.

Good afternoon Mel,

There seems to be some variations in the U/C struts and cross-axle, but I reckon it's a Gerner G.I

Guess who also just got to airwar.ru.

[MReyn24050]

Well done Trevor it is indeed the Gerner G.I The G.I had a conventional undercarriage with two mainwheels and a tailskid. Originally each wheel was mounted on a V-shaped pair of struts and a half axle attached to a central frame. This proved weak and the half axles were therefore replaced by a conventional solid axle. Both wheels and skid had rubber shock absorbers.

Thanks Mel,

Sorry dook

Here's the next one to find!

[dook]

I think I know where to go for this one......

It is on Wiki though!

[dook]

I know - I've been through it.

That's the one mate, I was going to post the image from Reg Heath's Early Birds, but that shows it as a Parasol

Cheeries TC.

[SincoTC]

That has to be the Pensuti-Caproni Triplane !!

[dook]

Innit.

Back again to you.

I take it the rules of engagement allow three-views!

I think that matches the Holland VIH 1?

Good evening SLB

I did wonder when you'd turn up

You think correctly, it is the Holland VIH 1, well done and control is yours

[Self loading bear]

Thanks Sinco
When searching for previous 3-cylinder radials i already had put this one aside for future posting.
Now this one
I put this photo aside as well but I could not trace it back nor do I know make or type number!

Good evening Bear.

Are you saying you do not know what your challenge is ?

Because it's a WACO XCG-3 glider.
