Nope. It is a single-engine aircraft.

Wellesley it is. Sneaky cropping made it look like a twin.

One of those mad Sikorsky Ilya Moromets things?

evansb 17th Mar 2014 20:52

Sorry mate, not Russian.

Kitbag 17th Mar 2014 21:38

How about those beautiful French Farman 220 series?

evansb 17th Mar 2014 22:08

Sorry, not from France. Only one built.

Zeppelin-Staaken R IV?

Can you tell these are now wild guesses?

evansb 18th Mar 2014 00:25

Not a Zeppelin-Straaken anything. The mystery aircraft is a twin-engine P&W radial powered death trap.

Kitbag 18th Mar 2014 06:33

OK, I'm seeing post WW1 to mid '30s biplane, you say twin radials, all that glazong makes it a bomber, it was uniqie in a time of rife experimentation, likely from USA given engine type and was a death trap.

I'm stuffed for ideas right now

evansb 18th Mar 2014 07:05

Not U.S. built nor designed. Not a bomber, but built to a military specification in the late 1920s. A sesquiplane of mostly wood and fabric construction, with some metal tubing and struts.

Canadian Vickers Velos..

OH if I am right.

evansb 18th Mar 2014 17:37

Correct. The Canadian Vickers Velos was over-weight, too slow, and difficult to fly.
