The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Blast ! I had chapter & verse on that SEMA, too, just looked in all the wrong places !

This big baby is a Farman F-180 Oiseau Bleu.
 
Looks like an American racing type machine, but maybe thats too obvious?
 
Moses is on the right lines - personally I think it looks entirely American, but it ain't. As far as vision is concerned, well, it can't have been much better in a Gee Bee !
 
Think I'm going to raise the white flag on this one, can't find on my usual sites.
 
Looks like Duxford sent theirs to Seattle. Didn't know that. The mystery is another Spanish Civil War refugee. The French SEMA 12 or SAB-SEMA 12 depending on your source.


This next one is easier?

The SEMA-12 was easy.. if I'd just scrolled a bit further down the page before I quit looking and made supper :banghead::banghead::isadizzy::banghead:

Right, seems like this one has run its course.

It is a Lorraine-Hanriot LH 41 from 1930.

I am away for a couple of days, so will leave a nice easy one - if you get it, please carry on !

Back to my favourite theme - floater/pushers.
 
This one is just too generic to get a fix on. It's looks European and thats all I got. Maybe someone else is having more luck.
 
Same here, theres nothing really obvious to suggest where its from.
 
Throwing in a not particularly ugly French aircraft for the second time in under a fortnight was clearly a cunning plan to throw us off track!

(and it worked :banghead:)
 
Sorry, boys, I really thought someone would grab this cute Gallic lady.

She is an F.B.A. (or, as Jane's would have it, Schreck) F.B.A. 310, from 1930.

The pints are lining up on the bar for me, so let's go for the jugular.

This record-breaker is a relative of one of my previous mysteries.

I have left some of the registration on !
 
Well we seem to be able to post OK. Really tiresome, these hackers. Moses, can you not organize a wee trip to Kansas with some heavy pals and sort them out ?
 
I think Canelo & Ickie are in charge of the Pugilist Dept. Have not had as much time to research this one. Looks French? I think you got us again Lefty.
