A monoplane. The fairings below the wing likely contain the aileron drive gear. What strikes me is the structure looking like a pitot tube mounted quite far away from the fuselage, which I´d consider pointing towards an odd number of engines with one mounted in the nose.
So - three engined? If so, Italian? |
Piaggio 23R?
|
Not three engined, not Italian
|
British, tricycle under carriage, AW Albermarle?
|
Yes, yes, no
|
GA Cygnet?
|

|

Not a Cygnet either |
Looks like the front of a Fairey, but not one of their trikes.
|
Looks to be the Supermarine 322 Dumbo?
But I'm not getting the Tricycle clue mentioned above? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....62bb7c50f0.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....30b4d623ee.jpg |
Supermarine 322?
Tricycle = 3 wheels, should have said nose wheel ! |
I always thought tricycle to mean a nosewheel? As opposed to a tail-dragger? Or as Wiki likes to call it - "Conventional."

It is indeed the Supermarine 322 "Dumbo"
Apologies - I'd forgotten the special meaning of "tricycle" when I answered Zaxis - I just thought - "yes three wheels".............. I shall sit in the corner with a dunces cap on for an hour................. Amazing that it took several years to actually reach first flight in 1943 - so much pressure on Supermarine to crank out Spitfires - which, to be fair were war winning whereas the 322...... was unlikely to trouble the history books |
All in good fun A56. No need for caps and corners and I had fun yesterday looking at British nose-wheels from the 40s and 50s. There was more than I thought.
And just for you - another starboard wing, and not just trees - buildings as well! :) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....528e53f44e.png |
British.
Tricycle... |
Plane trees, do I win.

Over to you. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....9a785b5295.jpg |
Thank you. GAL seemed to have a lot of tricycle designs.
Next challenge ... https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....95e493f2e3.png |

Yes... back to you, Noyade.
|
|
first flight pre or post 1939?
|
1923 Lympne light aircraft trials participant?
|
Pre-1939, but too late for the Lympne trials.
|
British?
|
See post #4946.
|
Photo possibly Hanworth?
|
The prototype is illustrated above - thinking Cowes.
The designer once held a world's land speed record. After his death in a speedboat accident, the project moved to Brough, I believe. It was named after him. Wiki says six built. This included two built under license in Italy. |
Fascinating story. It's the Saro Segrave Meteor, later to become the Blackburn Segrave designed by the racing driver Sir Henry Segrave.
