I would say no. Certainly I’ve never come across one so equiped. L.25’s yes.

The photo of the Bloch 151? is very interesting especially with the four blade airscrew. There is between the two soldiers the fuselage of a Leo Autogiro.
The wrecked flying boat is a Do 24.

Is the bloke in the (Typhoon)Yellow jumper Jim Howard?

That u/c layout was used by several companies. New Standard, Verville, Great Lakes, Pitcairn, Travelaire and Stearman and Waco.

Hi TwinOtter23

This in reply to your post on Britmodeller.

The term Spotter did indeed come from the railway enthusiasts when hordes of small boys and adults would haunt every railway station to jot down and”tick off” each Loco plate number which was new to them.
When the war came there was an urgent neccessity to ID hostile aircraft as well as friendly, so everyone was encouraged to look to the skies. To facilitate this a number of official and unofficial handbooks were produced mostly of silhouettes and some had various views as photos or drawings of a/c types. With the fourth edition of the Raid Spotters Handbook it changed it’s title to The Aircraft and Spotters Notebook.

Incidently my copy has all of the RAF Morpeth Bothas and Ansons codes and serials annotated in pencil. It had belonged to an Air Gunner Sgt Walter Perkins (of Nottingham) on Stirlings who was finally short down and killed in a Fortess III of 214 Sqn on Special duties.

The Aeroplane went on to produce a special paper/magazine called the Aeroplane Spotter to fuel what had become a popular hobby. I have most of these as well as a selection of “Recce books”

Well I must say I too thought it was the Cloudboy. The others that are similar are the Verville AT and the New Standard D29 derivatives.

Dave
I have always used 20′ 6″ from the vertical panel line of frame 5 to the rudder post for all Mks.
For your purposes use 32″ as the spinner length tip to backplate. Backplate to F5 is 7′ 3″.

John

Now. An oldie for you.
