Your photo uploaded fine, on this side of the world Storch. (Welcome to the forum by the way!)



It's the Government-built Mexican Scout Biplane, officially termed a Microplano

[Krabat42]

Welcome, Storch. Always good to see a new face in this thread. And nice one on the Vultee. Never heard of that before.

[Krabat42]

O.K. here's a quick and easy one.

[A4K]

Welcome to the forum Storch!

Is this a Junkers W-something Krabat?

[Krabat42]

Let's say it's a Junkers.

Junkers Aircraft of the Twenties

A famous Australian aviator designed and flew this one...

[Storch]

Well, you got to know that Graeme is sitting all day long behind his keyboard surrounded by aviation books and waiting for quiz-pictures. I'm sure his wife brings him coffee and cookies every hour or so. He knows that the world will end the day when he's unable to identify a plane. There's even a religion built around this, so it must be true.

I have maybe somthing difficult for Graeme but I must find his quiz who's not easy...

The plane is American?

You're just jealous Krabat! Besides we drink 'tea'.

No. It's Australian designed (by Bert Hinkler) and was registered in Britain. That's Hinkler on the right.



He named it after this bird...

[Krabat42]

You're just jealous Krabat!

Of course.

Besides we drink 'tea'.

Yes, me too. Made me a cup of darjeeling one minute ago. As I always say. You don't have to be ashamed for having style.

[A4K]

So its an Ibis? The tail looks Airspeed-ish. So, the 'Airspeed Ibis' ?

[Graeme]

The HINKLER Ibis. Discussed it with the judges, A4K's answer is the winner. Anyone who can identify an Ibis bird should win!

Bert Hinkler's Aircraft

[Krabat42]

So THAT'S an Ibis. I was thinking about some stork relatives, but the Ibis didn't come up. Learned something new.
