Distilly 😀 , I had found a Junkers the Canard monoplane 1909 that look very like the top one :confused: .
I also found the Do-Y (Do-15) after seeing a similiar civil two engine type 🙂 .

The last one I found text of it but no pic at all :confused: , But I saw a different aircraft of the same maker with similiar cockpit windows.

Keep them coming mate 😉 , I like a challenge and life’s pretty boring sometimes with M.S.(some days legs don’t want to work very well 😮 ), Cheer’s Lads 🙂 , Tally Ho! Phil. :diablo: (Crashing now :dev2: ” Gut Nacht “)

You’re quite right about Junkers. The story goes like this:
Junkers and Reissner were both professors at the Technical University of Aachen. Reissner was at that time more interested in experimenting and built that canard made of corrugated sheet metal. Later Junkers joined him on the second aircraft which looked a bit different and was changed considerably throughout its three years. Below is a picture of it actually flying.
Factoid: A chap by the name of Lucien Hild fell off the first aircraft during a maneuver (no seat belts) and died, which made him one of the first fatalities in German aviation.

Glad you put us out of our miseries. My best guess was:

1 – A very large Meccano set
2 – The prototype London Bus
3 – A Sycamore or similar helicopter that had flown into a bridge

Hm. Too hard I guess. Or this forum is too British-American.

#1 — Reissner plane, one of the first or *the* first a/c with wings and canards made out of aluminum, 1913
#2 — a Do-Y (later Do15) of the SHS airforce (Yugoslav), built 1931/2, photo from 1937
#3 — a Siemens Schuckert R II, 1915

Lousy rop (rate of reply). Is it too hard? A hint: They are all Germans.

At a glance before I hit the books, No.1 Possible French Type, Maybe a some sort of Santos-Dumont type, No.2 looks Russian but French too had ugly aircraft, Back Soon, Cheers, Phil.
