First thought...no idea. Some sort of homebuilt? British?

The Spitfire in the background...a cardboard cut-out?!

Not British mate. Not strictly a home-built, but could be argued that it was "home" designed. It was for a competition. Yes, a wooden Spit in the backgrond - it is in a museum after all! :)

Now looking at the USA.....

(Should I be looking at the USA?)

No, mate ;)

Not from the Americas

Afternoon gentlemen,

Suspect Graeme may be :zzz: by now, or soon will be, but I see skwinty's light is on!!

Internet down locally most of weekend, at work now and pretty busy, as I will be all week, (even after hours with dog/house-sitting duties for rest of the month), however, I will get in when I can :) !

Martin; I suspect from the "wink", that this one may be in an Indian museum, probably in the Mumbai area ??

Hi Trevor!! Any why would you say that, mate? Of course, it is Indian but not Mumbai. Now I'll count the seconds till you get it!!!!! :) RR

Just beaten to it :ugh:Well done skwinty :D

Oh well, it's back to work for me now.

Thanks SincoTC,
If correct then OPEN HOUSE.:ok:

That's the one, Skwinty!!

Cor....... It looks German to me. Is it? Or at least Austro/Hungarian/German?

Er.. hang on ... where's the power plant???

Not a glider. Not German, nor from the Ottoman Empire.

Thanks. I'll get thinking. Got to hit the road now... catch you later. RR

Gallaudet D-1

You got there first sabredog, but I was surprised about the question about power plant (not your question). It is clearly visible, just where it is.

The real reason for my post: Brian, you might wish to recap briefly your history of Europe 101 :).

Sabredog is correct. The Gallaudet D-1/D-4. An advanced American design, operated by the U.S. Navy. Only the make of powerplant differentiates the D-1 from the D-4. Your turn.
