Yes, Blackburn HST.10 - also known as the B.9 The 3 view has a similar nose to the artist drawing in the Flight archive but , in the two years it took to build it, it lagged behind the market and had acquired a slightly different nose profile.

It seems that whenever I try to login, or even refresh the page, my pc simply loads the main forum menu page for the site and logs me straight out (after saying thank you for logging in). Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Still, thank god for phones and gprs, heres the next image:

I'm not so sure about R.A.F. It looks early German/Hungaro-Austrian to me. It is too "pretty" to be British, I think, with all those swirls and curves.....

I've no idea, though.

  1. Bradenav is closest so far, except this aircraft is not an RAF product, he does have the country right though, and it was first flown at the hands of arguably the most famous and prolific aeroplane maker of WW1, at least on the allied side.
RR, sorry for the gap but after sitting vigil last night when nobody posted I had to work today, I knew that would happen

vague hint, it bears a famous British military name, but one more famous for things attached to planes, rather than the planes themselves.

Fin/rudder seems very de Havilland-ish. Maybe an obscure Airco design?
