Good afternoon MReyn.

It looks French but might it be British ?

I've looked at Austin but nothing fits.

Do I see forward stagger ?

I wonder if you have nicked this from AQ.

MReyn24050 30th Oct 2019 15:33

Not French or British, no marked forward or rear stagger. Late 20s

American then ?

MReyn24050 30th Oct 2019 15:55

Nor American. European

I've looked at Potez and France.

The five cylinder radial is getting to me - I think it may be a Walter.

Any point in going east of Germany ?

MReyn24050 30th Oct 2019 16:37

No not east of east of Germany. Here is another shot:-

Can you confirm the engine is a Walter NZ60.

I'm looking at Czechoslovakia because it's possibly an Avia.

MReyn24050 30th Oct 2019 16:58

My information has it as a Siemens SH10

dook 30th Oct 2019 17:11

Blimey - I thought that was a seven cylinder.

MReyn24050 30th Oct 2019 17:17

From Wiki
The Siemens & Halske Sh 10 was developed and built by Berlin based Siemens & Halske in the 1920s, .The five-cylinder engine was developed in 1925 together with the seven- or nine-cylinder models Sh11 and Sh 12 .

There is information on almost every Siemens engine except the 10. :mad:

The jury is out.

Good evening Gentlemen, I have a few minutes to spare at the Dog n Parrot (rain stopped walkies)! :)

Nice to see a familiar name posting a challenge! Hello MReyn24050, I can only find a very poor photo, but I'm encouraged to ask if it's the Akaflieg Hannover AFS 1 ??

MReyn24050 30th Oct 2019 18:37

Hi Trevor. You have it. It was registered as D1739 the Baumer AFS1 also called Schnecke' Akaflieg Stuttgart

I echo SincoTC's comment. Welcome back, Mel.

Lots of old hands here now (sic).

The thread is getting a bit like AQz.

MReyn24050 30th Oct 2019 19:28

Thanks India Four Two

SincoTC 30th Oct 2019 19:36

Thanks Mel, a good challenge!

Away from home at the moment and struggling to find something different :O I don't believe this one actually flew!

I can well believe that !

At least I have a good site for it.

It was fortuitous when I said "old hands" above.
