Felixstowe F.1?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I snows a lot there does it?

 

[Airframes]

I think Wuzak has it.

 

[GrauGeist]

I think Wuzak has it.

I honestly don't think so, Terry...the challenge photo shows a horizontal deck with a cleat at the leading edge, the F.1 has a rise to the decking that approaches the gunner's cuppola...no horizontal area for the cleat

I couldn't find a clear shot of the F.1.

When I did a google search it came up with lots of the F.2, which had a completely different shape to the one in the clue.

In any case, the answer is a very early flying boat. If not a Felixstowe, some sort of Curtiss?

 

[Geedee]

It not a Felixstowe, Walrus or Curtiss.

Made in the late 20's, single engine and this one is No 57

 

[norab]

FBA Type H ?

 

[Geedee]

Sorry not a FBA

Double-barrelled makers name

And you are looking at the front of the fuselage / hull and not a float thingy

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Loening S-1?

 

[Procrastintor]

I meant the snowy place lol

 

[GrauGeist]

Hmmm...I was going to say Sikorsky S-38 but I think Aaron might have it...

 

[wuzak]

Loening S-1?

I don't think so.

But it could be a Keystone-Loening Commuter

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I think you've got Wuzak.

 

[GrauGeist]

That sure looks like it and one is in Alaska (snow) so that just might be the one!

 

[Geedee]

I don't think so. But it could be a Keystone-Loening Commuter

That'll be this one then. Well done mate, bet you had to dig a bit to find her

 

[Airframes]

Good one !

 

[GrauGeist]

Way to go!

 

[wuzak]

Indeed yes. Would never have got it I hadn't been checking out what Aaron's Loening S-1 looked like.

New clue to come soon.

 

[wuzak]

Try this one

 

[GrauGeist]

Looks like the nose of a F-100 Super Sabre...
