Is it the Reid and Sigrist RS.1 Snargasher?

windriver 20th Nov 2007 19:40

Well done evansvb :ok:

The challenge photo comes from a copy of Flight May 1939 and refers to it as the Reid And Sigrist Twin Engined Three Seater (Trainer)

No mention of Snargasher in the article... but it's such a great name I hope it's the same thing.



BTW... Mel sent me this....

"According to a short item in the September 1976 issue of Air International
the name "snargasher" was applied to the R.S.1 by the factory workers during its construction and had no meaning other than as a "family joke".


You have control

A J Jackson in his book "British Civil Aircraft 1919-1973 Vol III lists the aircraft as the Reid and Gigrist R.S.1 Snargasher.

O.K., an airship. Zeppelin, 1920s?

evansb 20th Nov 2007 21:47

Sorry, it is not an airship/zeppelin.

kms901 20th Nov 2007 21:49

Sikorsky LeGrand?

evansb 20th Nov 2007 22:01

Not a Sikorsky. Pre-1920s.

The Lawson C-2 circa 1919

evansb 20th Nov 2007 23:17

ozbeowulf is correct:ok: Well done:D Some consider his design as the world's first airliner. It was probably the first airliner in the western hemisphere. General Dolittle asked if he could use the Lawson C-2 to bomb a naval vessel for a demonstration of air power. You have control.

I was surprised not find this one on the list, but I doubt it will last long...

Siebel 204? or the Czech variant Aero 45.

India Four Two 21st Nov 2007 08:47

I think it is too big for an Aero 45 and the instruments look American to me.

I42

ozbeowulf 21st Nov 2007 09:25

It is an American aircraft.

Bell YFM-1 Airacuda?

ozbeowulf 21st Nov 2007 12:12

Not the Airacuda. This aircraft came along a bit later.

If it helps, the aircraft was a military variant of a civilian design by a well-known manufacturer.
