I’m going to have to declare open house as I’m away this weekend.

John

While were waiting how about a Jeopardy style WOT. I’ll give you the answer you give me the WOT.

US Navy

W.L. Maxson XNR-1
BuNo: 1756, 1757

seen ref. to 1922-26 and 1940

also Maxon-Brewster

radio-controlled “so no pilot”

Twin engine trainer

Was it made? Did it fly? A 3-View or Picture?

Chris

Am I thinking tricycle fixed u/c twin fins.

John

Could serial on underside of Anson in second shot be N92??

Does that fit in any Anson serial runs?

Roger Smith.

N97– yes but not N92–

John

Absolutely correct. Hydra a mythical beast with many heads (Double octagon engine).
A bit different than it’s later hovering relative.

The circuit’s yours.

John

Probably a case of the early days of retracts. “Oh dear I forgot”. All too common.

John

Not a Mercury. but there is a clue there. It’s name will suprise a few people.

John

Looking at the Anson, it’s a Mk 1 and it has early roundels with no Yellow outline and it appears to have no proper camouflage pattern. This makes me think that assuming that this is in the Filton area and of similar date if it might be a Munich camouflaged a/c of 2 Civilian Air Navigation School based at nearby Yatesbury and run by the Bristol company. (Ansons from 1938)
