Bummer, I had this one waiting on the apron too :{

Therefore, I'm off to the kitchen and leave it for someone else!

I'm uniquely unqualified to compete with the major players in this thread but the configuration of the cockpit windows caught my eye. So perhaps an early B247 ?

It's not a Boeing.

MReyn24050 2nd Nov 2019 23:15

It is the Nakajima Ki-34 is it not?

dook 3rd Nov 2019 08:59

This aircraft was not a success. In fact it was a disaster.

Was this built for the Lympne trials or King's Cup races?

What engine did it have, that looks like a Lamblin radiator between the U/C legs?

dook 4th Nov 2019 19:11

I think it is the Cooper side car monoplane

I think you're right there dook :D, looking for a low-wing type, I passed over a photo of a Cooper monoplane because it looked like a mid-winger!! Now I see it has an enormously thick wing DOH!

MReyn24050 4th Nov 2019 21:00

dook has it it is the Cooper-Travers Hawk Monoplane in which James Lindsay Travers OBE, FRAeS, ANICE was killed on the 14th Feb 1924 on his first attempt at a circuit.
You have Control dook.
