Help with Museum Pics

GAK-22 Dino

Thank you very much Evzen 🙂

Just out of interest in Lloyd (3).jpg there is an aircraft behind HA-YACT. Are you able to tell me what it is please, and do you have any pictures of it?

Thanks again (this is why I love this forum, lots of helpful people)

Breese Penguin
Farmingdale, 1918

During World War One the Army wanted to develop a non-flying trainer which would give student pilots the feel of airplane controls at near-flying speeds, without the danger of actual flight. The only aircraft of this type produced was by the Breese Aircraft Corporation of Farmingdale. In 1917 Breese received a contract for 300 trainers called “Penguins”. The Penguin’s wings were too short and its engine too small to allow it to fly. They were equipped with engines built by Lawrance which was also located in Farmingdale. These “aircraft” were intended to be just as unmanageable as real aircraft, thus they had no brakes or steerable wheels – which made them quite difficult to control. This original is the sole surviving example.

go to www.cradleofaviation.org/exhibits/ww1/penguin/index.html

the picture (not reproduced above) is a period shot of a line up – looks like a cross between a Bleriot XI with the undercarraige of a Blackburn Monoplane.

Sorry I can’t help with photos but, according to Michael Blaugher’s “Guide to over 900 Aircraft Museums USA & Canada” The Soplata Collection at Newbury, Ohio is “closing”. I tried to telephone to arrange a visit in November, 2002 but couldn’t get through.

From the same book the Breese Penguin is with The Cradle of Aviation Museum, Gallaway Airport, Long Island, New York – a bit of Googling may bring up a picture.

Thanks very much for your efforts. What I was after though was pictures of the actual aircraft in the museums.

Papa Lima, you are correct, that is the aircraft that is in the Museum in Hungary.

Does anyone know any good websites of photos of Museum aircraft? There was one I remember Luftarht something but I can’t remember it’s full address.

Thanks again for your time again.

Could this be the Lloyd dating from 1914?
