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:

MReyn24050 31st Oct 2019 16:53

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.

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

It is on Wiki though!

dook 31st Oct 2019 17:51

I did wonder when you'd turn up :)

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

I put this photo aside as well but I could not trace it back nor do I know make or type number!

Good evening Bear.

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

Because it's a WACO XCG-3 glider.
