Guess the Aeroplane (just a bit of fun.)

I can go beyond that Sarah, the house where I was born had no running water but for a stand pipe in the yard and outside loo, for a bath, we had a tin one hanging on the wall which you had to fill with buckets of boiled (heated) water from an open coal fire and you had your bath in front of it.

We had the same Owen Friday night the tin lizzy was put in front of the living room fire filled with hot water from the boiler built into the fire, mum in first then dad and me last all in the same water, yuk yuk
it seemed normal then though, :ohmy: :ohmy:
I wont even have a bath now only showers clean water over me all the time

I presume the EAJ is the monogram of the owner but I can find no reference to it.
The writing is just the planes tare weight.

I have just found this picture on another forum.

It is not the same picture but clearly the same aircraft and a similar situation.
Obviously you got a photo as part of the joy ride!
More to the point it gives the registration ending in CB.
The aircraft is G-EBCB owned by a Mr Jones of the Kingwill & Jones Flying Company who owned it from 1922 to it being written off after storm damage in 1928.

Have a go at this, then -

or these -

The first is the Fairchild KR-34B.

To start with It I thought it was a Hawker Tomtit, but no, although the 5 cylinder radial looked very similar. the Tomtit used an Armstrong Siddeley Mongoose.
None of the Mongoose applications given in Wikipedia fitted either but it did list the Wright R-540 as a 'comparable' engine.
Applications of the R-540 included the KR-21B which shows the same picture Eric posted.

Someone else can do the other two!

hmmm second one at first glance was going to say De Haviland Tiger Moth, but then confusion set in. Some pictures of the Tiger moth show it with a slight dihedral and some without- this clearly looks to be without. So I went a nosying and came across the Fokker D.VII. Ruling that one out because at first glance (too tired to read all the gumph to compare) the flying wires and struts dont match up!! So..... that lead me to the Caudron C277 Luciole (or Firefly) or the Pfalz D.III by which point me eyes are going crosseyed.

So have come to the conclusion................its one of the above - delete wrong ones as appropriate, I win! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Did find an example of your picture linked with a film called the Blue Max but have ran out of steam to read up on it and it is vague in stating which it is of the two latter!!

If you read up about Mr Fokker (quite an interesting story) all his planes from the Triplane onwards had no flying wires. His chief designer disliked them so insisted on thick cantilever wings with proper spars so it is definitely not a DVII .
But I don't know what it is -yet!

Kreider-Reisner 34 is correct.

Caudron Luciole is correct. It was painted up to look like that for the Blue Max film, so Sarah scores two points.

wooooooooooooooot! whats the prize? Got to do some work for uni so the other one will have to wait, am not as good as you lot at looking at a plane and going " thats a...cos of the wings...fuzz....shape..." I have to look em up and study the boogers!!!

But you're learning as you do it.

Still waiting for an I.D. of the red one with the yellow fin and rudder.

It's a Parks P2A Biplane,one of eleven built in 1929-30, also known as the Detroit-Parks P-2A after the Detroit Aircraft Corporation bought up 80% of the stock during the great depression.The rights were then sold to Ryan aeronautical who renamed it the Ryan Speedster. Was made famous in 1966 by Richard Bach who flew it solo cross country and wrote a book about his exploits called "Biplane"

You've got it, Sarah. (and I've got the book - and others!)
