So were the Wright Brothers fakes (including the 1902 photo of the glider and 1903 photo of the first flight), or only old Amos?
I’m confused. :confused:
Excellent progress – the updates are very addictive. I’m thoroughly enjoying this.
Aircam did a very good two volume publication on this subject way way back around the late 60s or very early 70s. Lots of pics.
Definitely in WW1.

Just keeps getting better and better, thanks.
That short span upper wing suggests something either Italian or Czechoslovakian.
So does this mean that a lunatic is in charge of the asylum?
😀
I suspect that the date is wrong and the people are misidentified, that looks like a late war Coastal Command finish to me.
PB is Photobucket and it is free – you just establish an account and password. Then once you have done that you upload the pic to PB and from PB you can upload it to here by following the prompts in each.
That’s wonderful stuff – so when do you expect to get her into the air? 😀
Can you not download the pic to your own pics in your computer then using PB upload from there.
You’d be right there Andy – the spinner geometry would be determined by type of hub the prop has, and if the prop fitted to a restored aircraft carrying its original markings is not what that aircraft was fitted with originally then I suspect that there is nothing that can be done about it.
The props seemed to have both stop rotating in the best position to prevent engine damage so I’d suggest that the threat of a post-landing nose wheel collapse is the explanation. The props being hand rotated into a position where they would do the least damage.
Another wonderful restoration and rebuild being done – thanks for posting those pics.
