Good luck! No hints for two weeks.
Italian?
Lou
Sorry Lou, it is not Italian.
Hmmm...those distinctive wheel spats and shortish blunt nose ?
Looks like the Breda 25 but Mark says no.
Lou
Its got a Breguet look about it with those cooling louvres ? perhaps a French machine ?
Barry.
Not French Barry.
A Fox Moth?
Will
Not a Fox Moth.
I'm sure it's a Fox Moth, Mark.

Not a triplane Lou.
Hint #1: It's American.
Inverted in line engine?
Lou
No Lou, the engine is not inverted. Upright V.
OX-5 or Liberty?

Stab in the dark-Curtiss Hawk type ?
Barry.
Good guess Barry....yes, it is a Curtiss Hawk type but that covers a lot of airplanes so you need to get specific for the win.
I'm going to say Goshawk
Not a Goshawk Scott.
Mark,
Would it be possible to get another wee clue?
Cheers
