Cheers Doughnut!
I don’t think they were USN. I think I would have noticed – but……..a possibility.There was an RAF Andover parked beside them.

You might have been younger and not so experienced in noticing the finer details!:D

from memory(and i aint a ‘dripsy’ expert) the magneto drive gears were weak(fibre ??) hopefully modified since i last worked on a chippie…had dark hair then:rolleyes:

And probably more than now?!:D

Amazing that this photo puzzle is baffling the combined talenst of the Western world! I was expecting Hairy to provide a location for the photo. This photo would obviously be a good candidate in the annual recognition contest run by Air Britain (?). Problem is, someone would have to know the answer!

A neat looking plane for sure. For some reason the nose on one of these has always reminded me of a crawfish.

Always reminded me of a fountain pen, do you remember, pens that you had to fill up with ink from a bottle?:D
