Frankiek,

That is the Blériot 125

Thank you nice plane

[P51vsFw190]

So we still have a quest in progress.

This pretty little biplane:



Good luck as always.

I have no idea, but I’ll throw a random guess out there to get things going

A random WACO alternative to the Boeing 100

[Geschirr]

I guess I was too subtle... a kodiak bear waving hi... the Kadiak KC-1 Speedster, kadiak being inuit for kodiak.  I'll never try again...
Built by Everett David in Michigan.  He sold it in 1939, was damaged by a tornado in Texas in 1961 registration NR11312.  Rebuilt as the KC-2 with an
inline engine registration N41C.  At least that is best I can surmise from a couple google searches.  I'm sure you have a book or documents about it at your museum.
Anyone else can take the next one, I don't care.


What I assume is the KC-1 with the 95hp Velie M-5 radial

What is assume KC-1 is the 5 cylinder 90hp Lambert engine


I assume this is the rebuilt KC-1 as KC-2 with inline engine registration N41C.

Sorry Geschirr,

I didn’t catch your humorous visual pun unfortunately.

It’s your turn, man!

I didn’t catch your humorous visual pun unfortunately.

Kadiak <-> Kodiak

[Geschirr]

Hint, typically had a 5 cylinder radial Kinner engine.
This is from the air museum I worked at through highschool and college.
Hopefully I'm not violating any rules trying to ruin reverse image searches

By the vertical stabilizer it could be Fleet Model 7, I guess. This one is on display at Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum, St Louis. The engine is de Havilland Gipsy Major, isn't it?
Best regards,
HaFu1939

[Geschirr]

Well damn... you're right.
From what I remember it was an Ranger engine.
I learned that from the owner, after witnessing multiple 3+ hour tours I learned that he wasn't always... consistent with his stories.  Entertaining yes! Factual or consistent... not always.
Your turn HaFu!

[HaFu1939]

Sorry, maybe I'm going out of thread...
Yes, I know, Vickers Wellington... but which one?
This is the only photo I know. And that's all I know about it too (if I leave out the somewhat shaky account of Günther Frenzel's flight to the Belgian Congo).
Does anyone know more about this?



I really don't want to block the fun discussion... 
Ok, sorry for the yellow Wellington (I'll figure out what that is anyway), so here's something more in line with the nature and purpose of the thread:

[mexchiwa]

Is the bottom one Junkers-related?
