Yes indeed, Daz – article from the Perthshire Advertiser back in 1986 –

Not being sure what the Curtiss Sedan looked like I did a quick search and found a photo of one at Evergreen a few years back. I’m fairly certain it is the airframe now outside the museum.The rudder and wing attachment points have been removed but the other ID points seem correct though the step is hidden by one of the tyres. From the little info I could find it seems to have been put up for sale by the museum in 2013. It’s a real pity to see it languishing outdoors – hopefully this is only a temporary arrangement.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, J Boyle and Tin Triangle, and apologies for the delayed reply! I’m still inclined to think Stinson but only based on the step. Should really have taken the time to pop back in and ask but we were heading back to the car at that point!

Stinson Reliant?

Don’t know if these other shots might help a bit more. There wasn’t much to go on at all – the Cleveland plate on the undercarriage leg and the step was quite distinctive – similar but not exactly the same as Stinson Junior.

Don’t blame them – there’s an awful lot of wood there!

Never found out what this was. No identifying marks at all. Anyone know? –

Lol, nice one – at least that should provide some light relief from all the head-scratching of the past few days! Yes I did just Google it 🙂

Had noticed the possibility of the undercarriage being originally rearward retracting too. It does look like it may possibly have been modified at some point.

I certainly wouldn’t enjoy being on anything half as rickety looking as those steps! Don’t envy you guys at all!

There is a Vulcan at the museum too –

Thanks for the info, J Boyle. I must admit I wasn’t aware of that either.

There was also a Harpoon in a fenced-off area looking like it was awaiting its turn for restoration –

Yes plenty of gems, Rob! Including the magnificent B-36 – what a beast!
Definitely worth visiting if you’re near it again, Firebird 🙂

Found a photo of the three Ki-15s owned by the Japanese newspaper together. Even with modifications they all look similar and all have 2-bladed prop and forward-mounted antenna. Undercarriage legs are slightly behind the leading edge of the wing –
