red750 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Refer to the wiki article. There were three models with different engines. Maybe you are thinking of a different model. Peter.
bexrbetter Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Everyone should have known that. Nev I did, I just didn't want to show off.
rgmwa Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Blackburn Dart for sure after looking at the pictures. I'm not so sure. The undercarriage doesn't appear to have those short horizontal struts you can see in the Dart photos and plans, and also seems to have U/C bracing wires that the Dart doesn't. Also the centre struts on the Dart seem to be more angled that those in the original photo. rgmwa

I was wrong in suggesting the Nimrod but it does look more 1930s than 1920s to me, and looks sleek like a Hawker.
pmccarthy Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 This is the front observer/gunner's cockpit of what WW1 aircraft?
bexrbetter Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 It reminds me of the Handley Page Bomber from Rise of Flight? https://www.google.com.hk/search?newwindow=1&safe=strict&biw=854&bih=622&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=rise+of+flight+handley+page+bomber&oq=rise+of+flight+handley+page+bomber&gs_l=img.12...1737.6508.0.9089.19.14.0.0.0.0.673.1509.3-1j1j1.3.0....0...1c.1.43.img..19.0.0.I5X8VY3PwUg
red750 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 The floatplane is a Karhumaki Karhu 48 Bear. See the link. http://www.edcoatescollection.com/ac5/ROW%20Europe/OH-VKL.html

bexrbetter Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 No not British Then it might be the German one with the unusual walkway up one side of it but I forgot the name, later ... Ahh, Da Gotha ya? https://www.google.com.hk/search?q=Gotha+ww1+german+bombers&newwindow=1&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=bNB6U8PPBIiVuASYx4CoCA&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=854&bih=622
pmccarthy Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 OK. It's a French Voisin Type 5 with a 37mm cannon in the nose. A flimsy-looking Pusher type.
SDQDI Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I don't have a clue but I noticed on the tail wheel there seems to be a length of something sticking back from it a metre or two in length what would that be? Or is it just an optical illusion?
red750 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Crude vintage ground handling equipment of some sort. It would be a bit heavy to pull manually until it gets rolling. 1
red750 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 This photo will answer the question in the last one. It is also the next puzzle.
pmccarthy Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Cross between a DC2 and a Horsa glider. Is that a swastika on the tail? I'll go with a Bloch 220.
red750 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Right again, pmc. http://www.edcoatescollection.com/ac5/ROW%20Europe/F-AOHA.html
