    Yes; I suppose you may be right:o
    Or he could even be looking for a Miles Hawk fuselage, for that matter. At least I got to go look through the files of the Curtiss blueprints and found some very interesting odd ones in the same collection..Various original company blueprints for the American Airplane & Engineering Corporation, Model 150 and Model 200 from the 1920s. Never knew they were there.:)

    Please have the interested party contact me. My email address can be seen on the webpage that is listed in my signature, below. I have numerous Original Curtiss Company blueprints for various Falcons and Hawks. Took a quick look and see multi-page packages/files of Curtiss Company blueprints for several of the fuselages, with dwgs, and thorough technical report and analysis, including for the P-6 Hawk.

    Surely, one of the top ten most amusing aircraft names…This is a bit dark, but there is a pretty sporty old automobile in the background-from this 1939 photo.

    How do i acquire a high res’ copy of that photo please ?
    .

    I ask anyone requesting a photo search, high res scans. lists, questions, etc, to please contact me via my regular email address, as listed at bottom of my website home page(In the signature, below). Only reason I don’t list it here, is to try to keep it from being added to the spammers lists. Sometimes I do not notice the “PM waiting” at the top of my forum page, for a couple of days.

    Here is one of the MT23 negative scans. The detail shot shows the advantage of working with negatives instead of prints. A high resolution scan can be enlarged to show many smaller details than usually possible with a photo print. This is MT23 Magister of Belgian Air Force, #280, Wethersfield, 5/69. In the high resolution scan, you can clearly see the 23 on the nose gear door, and even the small print on the wheel chocks that show 23 is using the chocks marked “77.”and a clear griffin emblem on fuselage.

    Hello MarkG- Sorry-just looked. no success.

    JohnH; got out the box with Seahawk negs and it looks to be a rather long sorting session. Can you help to narrow down what Mark, Seahawk (1-6?)Sea Hawk (WV838) would be?
    Would be able to sort much faster that way.

    Fouga-I have a good batch of Fouga negs and prints. Can you tell me which one you are searching for? The more specific, the better…Have we already discussed this? sounds familiar.

    And to ALL; No one need apologize for asking for photo requests. You are merely asking-not demanding. I am very happy to help (or TRY to help) if I can. when I can. Some makers & marks are easier than others, depending on quantities. I have managed to arranged these (Mostly British aircraft-approx.30,000 prints and approx 120,000 negs-of which about 20,000 negs remain unsorted) in the more general sections of Mfr, and then by Mark/type. but not by serial or reg or ID #s. But those numbers ARE listed on the backs of most photos OR on the negative envelopes. Thus the current sorting for spcific requests. Any British museum or archive interested in them, please feel free to contact me. Money is not mandatory, as a wide assortment of trading categories are acceptable.

    Have Many of 563,564 and 566. 565 must have been bashful. But do have a nice larger size negative of 565 with 208 Sqn Luqa 4/65 I could scan & convert to positive image, if of use to you…Does not seem to meet your specific request, so I’m asking first.
    Joe.

    Yes. Appears to have been carried in someone’s wallet for several decades. Must have been dear to him…95 at Bathurst 1944 with Sunderland IIIs.
    see below for a nice clean photo. Will be happy to email you scan of it, if you wish. (and send me your email)
    Mine may be fresher and cleaner, but yours has more “character!”

    I have a b&w neg with the side view and cockpit canopy open, from Akrotiri Stn flt. of XS452. Do you already have that one? also have six others of XS452 dated from 1968-1981, at other places. As for the T5s from Middleton St.George, do you know any of the ID numbers before I look through more. Hope to do some scanning of negs over the weekend

    Sorry, Dave. The only ID on back of photo is “Spartan Arrow, G-ABBE.”
    But according to the main list: “G-ABBE-Spartan Arrow R27-06-30 Capt H H Balfour, to ZK-ACQ 02-05-31 F Lysons,Destroyed by Hangar collapse in gale at Parorangi 20-20-36, scrapped.” it must have been before
    2/5/31? I am impressed that it had four balanced ailerons.
    The Other thing I did not realize about the A24 mailplane was that it was a trimotor.
