Nope.

It's an earlier model by the same manufacturer. Originally it had 35 hp Anzani radial engines, but some later versions were upgraded to 40 hp Salmson 9AD radial engines.

Edit: Correction, these Salmsons were made in France, not in England.

Hello gents! Back from short hiatus because of bad weather.

Could this be the Raab-Katzenstein RK 2b "Pelikan"?

This comes from airwar.ru. The image shows the aircraft you posted and through all of the sites i have visited, they all point to this airplane being an RK 2b

You can even see the name “Pelikan” on the rudder in the picture you posted.

The airplane you posted can be no other than the RK 2b.

You are right. It IS RK2b

Actually I thought I was posting a picture of Raab-Katzenstein RK-9 Grasmücke:



When I was looking for a good picture of it, I somehow managed to get this....

My bad. Sorry.

Well done, though. You found the right plane, even though my misleading hints  ;D

This isn't the Besler experimental steam powered biplane?  The cylinders are very similar as are the landing gear,

I was looking up steam powered aircraft a month earlier, something Jay Leno was talking about with steam powered cars on his channel triggered a youtube search.
