Bonjour Richard,

In the lack of any probing questions overnight, it's time to start some serious fishing for some clues to try and get things moving again!

There's not too much to search on at present apart from the distinctive rectangular tail-fin/rudder, which has a strong resemblance to that on the Messerschmitt M-19 Light Sport 'plane, but the fuselage is wrong, so I don't think it's that, but is it German?

The background suggests that it might be taking part in one of the competitions held in the mid to late 1920's, if so what year?

There seems to be a tarpaulin thrown over the engine making it impossible to guess, so some details on this would help would help a lot!!! (and I don't mean the maker of the tarpaulin )

It looks like the Albatros L59 to me but, the only pictures I can find show it with a spatted undercarriage...

You are RIGHT
The Albatros L 59 flew with and without spats
Control to you
Cheers

On the orders of an RAF Officer - NO.

Your deadline has expired, so get something up......

If you don't mate, I'm going to shove something up in your name....

For the next two hours Open House is forbidden.

OK gentlemen.

Stalled threads should not be a characteristic of this forum.

Accordingly I take the law into my own hands and offer you something on behalf of RegDep.

RD, please check PM very shortly.
