A Plane Picture Quiz for Our Seniors
Here's a plane picture quiz for our senior members :O
I found lots of photos on the web so it should be easy. This one is from an ad introducing the plane. I scanned it from a 19xx magazine. SC http://users.erols.com/rcarpen/q27.jpg |
'ere. 'ow ol' d'ye think we be??:(
Since I'm only a middle ager, I have no idea what it is. Best guess would be something French out of the Morane, Nieuport or Salmson stables. :confused: Can I use a life line? :} |
Is the logo on the tail fin an 'F' ? Could it be a Farman ?
|
|
Correct, the Farman Sport, built by the Farman brothers - Henry, Maurice and Richard - born of British parents in Paris.
http://www.ctie.monash.edu.au/hargrave/farman.html My photo comes from an advert in the American mag Aerial Age Weekly for April 19, 1920. W. Wallace Kellett was marketing the plane in the USA. That's a couple of years earlier than mentioned on the Smithsonian site. SC PS to CS@Darwin. There can't be many people on PPRuNe older than I. My father turned 29 the year that advert appeared! |
aaaarrrrghhh......how could I have left Farman off the list??:rolleyes:
seacue Sounds like a good idea for a new thread..."Whos the Oldest Prooner?" But should it be posted here or on JB? :} (Love the quizes by the way...keep 'em coming) |
Who's the oldest? I'm too vain to compete, as may be others.
JB is the place for the "contest", and I think I have the (in)famous Drapes by a few years. |
Farmann and DeHaviland have distinctive rudders that are like Trademarks.
