There is a swallow logo between the two persons.
But no clue which make it refers to

The Greek KEA - "Swallow" - ?

Some kind of Heinkel / Svenska collaboration?

Ahhh - progress...................... here's some other pics of the challenge to fill in the time until tomorrow

Time has flown so I can confirm Noyade was is correct - the Greek built KEA Chelidon ("Swallow")

I think it was the second aircraft designed & built in Greece . They had a lot of technical support from Blackburn. According to the reports there wasn't much wrong with it except its performance was poor cp more recent, foreign aircraft. I suspect it was seriously underpowered - as I said the prototype soldiered on to around 1938 so it was a well built airframe

One of the few better looking Blackburn designs !

Thanks A56 - and thanks for the oesophageal (Swallow) clue SLB.

An easy crop?

I presume the little propeller is driving a target winch.


PS Is it a Blackburn Roc?

It is a target winch. Not a Blackburn Roc.

I call that a Blackburn Botha.

Good call. :ok:

I don't think this one's appeared before.

Probably weren't seen jumping around much.

Didn't think it would last...

The meat isn’t that bad especially when cooked a point.

Can't bring myself to eat part of the national coat of arms. Never tried it - never will. :)

Do you know what?
!ts fabulous meat!
Every bit as good as beef-steak.

If you say so. ;)

One mans dog food is another mans CAC15...
However I did like it the one time I was served a piece of aforementioned marsupial.
It was much better than the fermented shark in Iceland.

Is anyone in charge?

I'd say Noyade, he came up with the name. Meleagertoo seems to be AWOL, so should we just announce Noyade winner?

I too think Noyade can take the lead.

Sorry guys, Noyade has it.

Thought he`s on `sick leave `...hopefully....

I remain incapacitated with my kangaroo loving dog for company. Please carry on...

I'll take it that it's open house, so I'll wish Noyade all the best and get well soon and put this on display on his behalf.

Apologies for barging in! May I just borrow your illustrious brains for a moment?

This photo (borrowed with thanks for educational purposes) was in a certain book with a fairly detailed caption including key words like photo reconnaissance, WWI and Ninth Wing, Fienvillers, France 1916. It does not mention what particular aircraft though. Possibly an easy question for some? If so, apologies in advance.

I'd put my money on Martinsyde Elephant. Look at this youtube video: at 0:07 you can see the wing support mountings matching the picture
at 0:34 you can see the wing root structure which matches the picture.
at 0:55 you can see the upper wing matching the picture.



That camera is C-type, so post summer 1915 but later on the L-model was introduced which was placed inside the hull. This fits the 1916 time frame.
On this picture of a G102 Elephant the similarity to the AC on the picture on your post is significant.

Edit: I'll add that based on the "reliable" interweb wiki the ninth wing was originally RFC HQ Wing and used Martinsyde G.100's from mid 1916 till 1917 and was used in recon missions in France and Middle-east. Someone better in the know on RFC units and their posts can confirm, complete or prove me wrong...

That is very interesting Beamr and fits together well. I’ll look further into this.

Many thanks in the meantime.

My pleasure! I love that type of puzzles.

Back on usual program I'll drop the actual quiz picture once more to make sure it doesn't go unnoticed by accident. So, what is standing on its long legs so steadily?

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....cbd865fd4f.jpg

Russian perhaps?

Lets say that this was built close to the Azov sea, not far from the current war zone.

Ukrainian?

It is not.

OKB1 -150 perhaps with a carefully cropped tail?

Georgian SU-25?

Nothing has been cropped from the picture so it is not a T-tail. You gentlemen are closing, other had the era right, the other had the aircraft role right.
