Hi Kitbag. I went with the gentleman in the cockpit being German and thought of the Siebel Si-204. But now, more likely the Fh-104?

Thanks Kitbag. I'll try the grainy approach...

Looks kind of Italian

Not Italian mate, British.

Here's the full picture...

The engine was known as the Double Octagon.

Gotcha, Sneaky use of an engine test bed there.

Hawker Harrier (no, not the noisy leaping heap)

That's him mate! :ok: Your control.

Interesting engine...

Bristol Hydra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you, if you hadn't named the engine though I'd still be thinking about carrier borne split axle aircraft!

It was an interesting engine too, more correctly known as the Bristol Hydra.

Hopefully this will spark some interest:

I immediately thought of one of those big Douglas or Curtiss contra-prop jobs, but....
...is that a low-powered Pobjoy?

Yes it is

Thanks mate - I'll have a look later. :)

It's been a while. What aircraft is this?

Hello Kitbag.

Dunno mate. Initially thought Vickers Viderbeest but looking at the bottom right of your photo, is that a fuselage? Multi-engined aircraft? British?

Hmmm.....well Graeme, first of all, it's spelt VILDEBEEST and secondly, it only had a 2-blade prop.

But after another cofffeee......:)

The Handley Page HP-42...

Spot on, this was Hanno, G-AAUD.
YHC

Thanks mate.

Here's the next one...

This will probably take me some time, however, Curtis R2 Racing biplane on floats?

Evening Kitbag. Greetings from a sunny Sunday morning. :)

I tilted the image slightly to fit the engine in and defeat google, so it's a taildragger and not a float-plane or from Curtiss.

But it is from the USA.
Planned to be a fighter.
Metal construction.
Three ordered but only one built.
And as far as we know, this never flew!
The early 1920's.
The engine is a 350 hp Packard.
