red750 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Right pmccarthy. Here's the float version: and the fixed cart version: It was also known as the Pilgrim 150, Fairchild 150, and Clark GA-43. Despite this, only 5 were ever built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Looks to me like an old Fairchild 24 which not all had radial engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 OK. It's been 24 hours. The aircraft is a Hollingstad/Wideroe C-5 Polar. Built in Norway, the design is based on a Stinson Reliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks for putting me out of my misery Peter. It appears to be based on the 1934 straight wing Reliant and looks slightly longer in the nose section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmccarthy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 This one I don't know myself. It is an old Brownie Kodak photo and on the back it says "This is a close up of one taking off". Nearby photos were of Malta. I guess Fleet Air Arm but what is the aircraft? My guess a Hawker Nimrod, but other suggestions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJH Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 How about a Blackburn Dart or Ripon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmccarthy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 A Dart is possible but the Ripon only has one set of interplane struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Time's up. The plane is a Westland Limousine. Including prototype, eight were built. Interesting story on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westland_Limousine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deskpilot Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 No matter how I look at this image, I can't see a Westland Limo in it. There are too many differences, the radiator/cowling being the most obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
