Yes, I guessed it was for the same reason. Could easily be wrong though.
Here's another easyish one - the answer's in the name.

I think I found it on the net, many years ago.

JDK 23rd Feb 2006 10:27

I'm not being a sore loser (really) :D

But I wonder if it's a) a standard panel (might be, being the unconventional private venture type that the Fox was) or if the pic's been messed with - it doesn't look quite right to me.

Anyone?

The absence of a head protector is the first thing I noticed together with no top protection over the panel. An intersting shot.

Is the next one a PZL?

Bert Stiles 23rd Feb 2006 12:47

Sorry, not Polish.

Nakajima Ko3?

Bert Stiles 23rd Feb 2006 14:05

I like the thinking - but not Japanese either.

Mr_Grubby 23rd Feb 2006 15:22

Is it German ?
Something like an Albatros.

Most Unusual layout. It would appear to be possibly the rear cockpit of a Biplane. Could it be The Fairey Fleetwing?

MReyn24050 23rd Feb 2006 16:45

Second thoughts. I think it is a single seater Biplane. With a sliding cockpit canopy which joins up with that curved screen above the wing. I do not think it is from the UK. Possibly for racing or speed trials?

The Laird LC-DW-500 "Super Solution"
Some hairy looking beast and the name is probably a reference to the contents of the pilots underkegs

Indeed.

The winner of the 1931 Bendix Trophy, flown by James Doolittle.

Yours Wunper.

Morris Minor? :p

MReyn24050 24th Feb 2006 16:06

Saab Dastard. I would agree, I was going to say Austin 7 but my Austin 7 didnt have so many instruments.

Wunper is it single engined? Possibly the Northrop Delta Mk 1 as used by the RCAF?

Wunper 24th Feb 2006 16:12

SD Er... nope :hmm: not British anyway
MReyn24050 Single Engined yes but not American

Saab Dastard 24th Feb 2006 16:38

How about a little Fokker, then? C-14? Super Universal?

MReyn24050 24th Feb 2006 16:46

Perhaps the Noorduyn C-64 (Norseman)?

Wunper 24th Feb 2006 17:04

SD Not Fokker but smack on for era
MReyn24050 Not Canadian & Norseman is about 5 yrs younger than this machine
