Slingsby T31 Tandem Tutor, per chance ?
On second toughts, one thunk not, but one won't delete one's post, out of sheer fairness, of course ;)
A vintage glider nevertheless :rolleyes:

Sorry not a glider.

MReyn24050 28th Feb 2006 08:51

Not the Hawker Cygnet Wunper

Sorry not the Pou Du Ciel, Flying Flea. I apologise for the small photograph. I have tried to enlarge it but on transfer photobucket reduces the resolution.
This particular aircraft was rebuilt from numerous boxes of components from the original airframe.

Certainly not the Flying Flea - I can see rudder pedals, a feature noticeably lacking from the couple of derivatives that I've had the privilege of flying.

Possibly the dH53 Humming Bird?

N.B. Photobucket doesn't look at image size, it looks at filesize. If you set your jpg compression higher you may be able to avoid this problem.

Front cockpit of Avro 504N ?

As edited above whilst Genghis and Wunper were writing.

This particular aircraft was rebuilt from numerous boxes of components from the original airframe. A number of components had to be rebuilt from scratch to the original design.

Not the DH 53 Humming Bird or Avro 504. However the designer did at one time work for Avro.

Nearer a Sopwith Pup, or that era? (Lewis gun handle top right?)

MReyn24050 28th Feb 2006 18:04

Riight era Foxmoth.Not one of Tommy Sopwith's though.

foxmoth 28th Feb 2006 18:08

Talking British? SE5a?

MReyn24050 28th Feb 2006 18:14

This one was from the other side on the pond. It was built and designed in the USA.

Saab Dastard 28th Feb 2006 18:21

Royal Aircraft Factory RE 8?

Or Bristol F.2B Fighter?

Just read Mel's post - must be the Curtiss Jenny! B.D. Thomas (the designer) worked for Avro AND Sopwith!

No, it isn't - it's a Thomas Morse S4C Scout

Wunper 28th Feb 2006 18:35

don't think its a Jenny how about a Thomas Morse Scout?

W

MReyn24050 28th Feb 2006 18:52

Saab Dastard and Wunper. Well Gentlemen it would appear that you both arrived at the same answer at the same time although Saab Dastard did state the Mark. It was the Thomas-Morse S4C Scout. So lets call it a draw, but Saab Dastard gets the honour of posting the next challenge?

I just new I should have posted before going for tea:{

MReyn24050 28th Feb 2006 19:26

I know the problem foxmoth. I am sure you will agree that this thread is really fascinating. We await the next challenge.

Saab Dastard 28th Feb 2006 19:51

Thanks Mel, nice one!
Here's an interesting one -

Looks too modern for me (This is history and nostalgia), but maybe the answer will prove me wrong:}
