Hi,
another picture from the archive of the Dutch newspaper “Het Leven”. You can see a lot of De Havilland DH 60 Gipsy Moths: ZS-ACZ, OO-AMM, the British contributors as the G-registration is visible and F-ALML, which is a Morane-Saulnier-built one. In the center we see PH-AGN (Pander P-2) and PH-AIK (Pander P-3).
Maybe somebody likes to make a remark on the sesquiplanes on the upper right side (one with 5-cyl. radial and one with inline engine) and on the fighter-nosed biplanes on the upper right side.
Thank you, and hope you enjoyed!
Regards, RT

The far Fairey is a Firefly and there are two Foxes and what appears to be a Potez 36 in the middle by the side of the left hand Fox and behind OO-AWW.

…..and, of course, there was the ‘Flaming Fox’, G-ACAS, courtesy of the Hon. Mrs Victor Bruce (q.v. http://sussexhistoryforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2594.0)!

Probably so. My mistake is to transfer the strict military-civil separation of to-day to the circumstances of 1930, when it obviously was different.

Maybe not RT. I’ve discovered since my last post that there were at least a couple of civil-registered Foxes used for long distance air races. The colour scheme on the front one in your photo looks very similar to G-ACXO see post 20 in this thread from 2011.

I believe they were based at Knokke with 6e Escadrille of the Belgian Air Force in the late 30s, RT.

Thank you G-ORDY, I think you are right. I did not get that thought because I wonder what these military aircraft have to do in a sportsplane meeting.

Thanks once more, Eric.
The biplanes on the upper right side still could get a name, if somebody pleases. They looke a bit like Fokker D.XIIIs or Westland Wizards (I know the latter is a monoplane), but they should be sportsplanes.
Thank you, and regards, RT
I think they are Belgian Air Force Fairey Fox II three-seat day bombers. Look at the inter-plane struts and the underslung radiators.

Both look to be Pander E-types. The radial one should be a Pander EC with a Walter NZ60 engine. The other an EG, with a Gypsy I engine.
