It was an Anzani 3 cylinder engine.

I'm trying to rationalise late 20's with an Anzani three cylinder.

Good afternoon Mel,

There seems to be some variations in the U/C struts and cross-axle, but I reckon it's a Gerner G.I

Guess who also just got to airwar.ru. :mad:

Well done Trevor it is indeed the Gerner G.I The G.I had a conventional undercarriage with two mainwheels and a tailskid. Originally each wheel was mounted on a V-shaped pair of struts and a half axle attached to a central frame. This proved weak and the half axles were therefore replaced by a conventional solid axle. Both wheels and skid had rubber shock absorbers.

Thanks Mel,

Sorry dook :)

Here's the next one to find!

I didn't get it from AQ and it isn't listed on the current archive :)

It is on Wiki though!

I know - I've been through it.

It's on Their Flying Machines too.

Caproni 13. :)

That's the one mate, I was going to post the image from Reg Heath's Early Birds, but that shows it as a Parasol :confused:

You have control!!

Cheeries TC.

That has to be the Pensuti-Caproni Triplane !!

Innit. :ok:

Back again to you.

I take it the rules of engagement allow three-views!

Good evening SLB

I did wonder when you'd turn up :)

You think correctly, it is the Holland VIH 1, well done and control is yours :ok:

Good evening Bear.

Are you saying you do not know what your challenge is ?

Because it's a WACO XCG-3 glider.

WACO CG-3A,glider....OH if correct..

Catch up number 4. ^^^^^

Thank you Bear. It was not difficult to find.

Morning all,

I thought the night shift would have snapped this one up overnight as there's not that many US twin-boomers about!

Just off to see the medics, will see if it's still here when I get back mid-morning :)

Morning. Sorry Trevor hope all goes well with the Quack. Dook's challenge is the McGaffet's Aviate.

Good morning to you Mel

It is indeed the McGaffey Aviate, or AV8 after its' V8 car engine.

Over to you.

Good Morning

Dook Here is the next

Possible He-70.

Not the He-70

Seversky ?

You had the right country when you suggested the He -70

Afternoon Mel,

No worries, good to keep things moving and I excuse the fat thumb on its maker!! :p

Is your latest a Möller Stomo 3V (1 or 3) ??

The caption gives it as Moller Stromo 3. You have control.

Thank you Mel, a good challenge! Let's see how long this one lasts!
P.S. Ignore the apparent slight forward sweep as it was a fault in the drawing I found and they were though to be unswept :)

Interesting, engine would appear to be a four or six-cylinder, in-line, engine!

Good evening Mel,

This aircraft started life with a twin cylinder H/O engine, but you're correct in that the drawing shows it as later modified with an inline engine (four-cylinder inverted).

I should add that it also started off with an open cockpit which was changed at the same time for a closed cockpit :)

Fairey Junior?

PDR

Good morning PDR,

Sorry, it's not a Fairey Junior.

I can see the logic in your answer as the history of engine types does echo that of my challenge, but with different engine manufacturers and if you look at the drawings of the two you will see several differences, notably in the vertical location of the horizontal tail-plane and the shape of the rudder/rear fuselage, it is also considerably older than the Junior!

Cassutt Racer?
