@Jim not a submarine.

@Aktung, yes, the biplane at the top is a Bristol Scout.

Felixstowe Porte Baby (Porte F.B.2)?

Jimbuna · 04-14-20, 12:56 PM

It's the swimming clue that's got me

Catfish · 04-14-20, 01:05 PM

^ @u crank: Yep, this is it.
Again, sorry for my misleading/wrong answer. All those looking for a Sopwith were of course not able to find it

Curtiss "Felixstowe" Porte Baby, with "parasite plane" as they called it, a Bristol scout. The Scout was successfully launched from a Felixstowe "Baby" in flight several times. The Felix "Baby" had a third pusher propeller and engine in the middle, the radiator can be seen in the center part of the asking photo - should have been a giveaway but i admit the "quality" is very bad.
Unfortunately weight and ungainly manoeuvering led to some of them being shot down quickly, but one was able to taxi home swimming on the channel waters

The Felixstowe planes themselves have quite an interesting history. Curtiss had constructed some original prototypes, but they were almost impossible to fly and very unstable, as an english pilot complained to Curtiss. The contraption was then redesigned and successfully built numerous times in England (here called the Felixstowe), and it was them who finally ended the high-altitude Zeppelin attacks.

Okay it's a Bristol Scout but it's not flying or taking off because the prop would be blurred.. Oops I'm too late.

Whack! That's King Kong.

@ Catfish. Yes a tricky one. The 'it swims' clue was confusing but when submarine was eliminated, well I thought there is only one other thing that swims.

Ok what would this be?

Buddahaid · 04-14-20, 02:50 PM

A building?
