The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Well done :guinness:. You are correct, Jim. But as to declaring open house, I can't help but echo the sentiment expressed by fabulousfour on 2 July. I wonder for how long it will be, this time, that this thread stands in abeyance? I shall be delighted if the answer proves to be - not long!
 
Well I, for one, don't like to post an answer unless I have a new one lined up - it's just leaving someone else to do all the hard work ! But I was somewhat bemused by virtually the same aircraft being posted twice in as many days.:banghead:

Like everyone else, I'm finding it difficult to find something which will last more than a few minutes here...
 
Wife got new computer so I back on. Here's one should last awhile I just found.
Not in Aerofiles.

Yes Keith, but whichever, I'll blame it on the heat.

Eagerly awaiting more updates from PH.

It is a Fairchild 22 C7A and it is said to have a 95hp 4 Cylinder Cirrus engine. However I've seen a photograph of it with the engine cowlings removed which shows the manufactuer's plate on the engine bearing the legend 'Gipsy Major Series 1' built by General Motors - Holden Port, Melbourne, Australia, which presumably makes it a Gipsy Trainer engine. So quite a mix - an American aeroplane with the Australian version of a British engine located in France!

Thanks! It certainly is a mash-up and the history could be interesting.
I wonder if the covering is French linen?
