I guess from the cars its a yank? A weird one, or maybe a perspective thing?

Lightning Mate 13th Jul 2010 08:49

A yank it is.

Not really weird, more unorthodox.

Ridge Runner 13th Jul 2010 09:00

An Ag machine?

Lightning Mate 13th Jul 2010 09:04

It is indeed.

Ridge Runner 13th Jul 2010 09:12

Is it as originally produced or is it a mod?

Lightning Mate 13th Jul 2010 09:13

As originally produced.

Lightning Mate 13th Jul 2010 09:23

I have to go for 55 minutes, back soon. I'll put my light off until I come back.

Just you and trucky on, RR.

Coffee time over, so OH please if confirmed.

Ridge Runner 13th Jul 2010 10:08

I may be wrong but I think the DW-1 was in Observer's Aircraft years ago?

Comper Streak ?

Ridge Runner 13th Jul 2010 10:47

It is mate!!!!! Well done.

YOUR CONTROL

I'm off to the pub!!!!

Thanks RR. Can i ask for dispensation from the normal rules on this one on the grounds that .....

a ) Its not a silhouette
b) i don't know what it is

For that reason you get all the clues as well. I first thought it was a Sopwith Gnu but the struts and cabin windows are wrong. However it does look very Sopwith. The registration marks are French F-??AP and the landscape also appears French. Looks like a cabin conversion of the rear part of a One and a half-Strutter which the French did build many of..............

Blimey!!

I come back after an hour and wer'e on the second one already.

Cant find a picture of it, but Lorraine Hanriot produced the H80 prototype, which was registered F-AMAP? Others in the F-A?AP range are all familiar types. Anyway, just a thought.

Lightning Mate 13th Jul 2010 11:39

Tinkering with the photo shows what looks like an M in front of the AP.
