Melvyn, perhaps like me you are suffering from alcohol-induced insomnia!
No that is a lie, I am suffering from insomnia-induced alcohol!
Supposed to be packing books and doing paperwork.

Sorry Melv…
So you should be. Now stop standing around, all upside down, and tell me why I am up this late????

Sorry Melv…

I also reckon Melv’s guess is going to be correct…
Guess?? GUESS????????
I didn’t spend several seconds looking that up on the Rearwin website for it to be called a guess!
Incidentally, the Porterfield is very similar as they were designed by the same chappie.

Without checking any refs, no 1 (2071) is a Seversky (later Republic) and no 4 (2077) is a member of the Ryan family; I’d say a PT-22 jazzed up as a stunt ‘plane.
I also reckon Melv’s guess is going to be correct…
No.3 (2075) looks like a Boeing F4B? or perhaps a Curtiss Hawk?

The second one is a Rearwin 9000L Sportster currently owned by James Freese in Ukiah, California.
It is the last Sportster mentioned in Eric Rearwin’s list of survivors and next to the oldest surviving Cloudster, whatever that is.

last one , A Found Centenial?
By: Propstrike - 1st May 2006 at 21:32
No2 Rearwin ??
No3 Travel Air ??
No4 Ryan of some sort??
last one might be a Sorrell Hyper-Bipe.

I didn’t know the RAF used Darlek’s as front gunners on Lancaster’s, and the roundels look all wrong! I hope they can get it sorted!!
