Seems Greg is meaner than me. No arguing with the fact that this crashed that's for sure.

A possible candidate is Morane-Saulnier type N.

Hello Yavor and Ross,
I've a little doubt this one was a Morane N or a Nieuport 6. Check the rudder ; on the Morane N, the fin's leading edge made a straight line, here it is slightly rounded and its base appear very rounded. The Nieuport 6 had a very different rudder. If you see the repartition of the colors on the rudder, I think it must be blue, white, red, designing a British aircraft. My best guess is a Bristol M.1 monoplane scout. To add to this guess, I'll say that the engine appears to be a Le Rhone 9J as on the Bristol. Regards Edmond Last edited by edmondthieffry; 1 May 2007 at 02:46 AM. |

Hi Edmond! Hi Ross!
Note divided-axle undercarriage structure (neither Bristol M.1 or Nieuport had such a feature). Nieports IV and VI had very distinctive engine mount and front fuselage structure. The wing leading edge looks straight. RFC was a major user of MoS type N, but blue-white-red rudder is not necessarily British. Regards, Yavor |

Hello Yavor,
You are totally right on the fact that the Bristol M.1 had not a divided axle undercarriage structure. I've not noticed it after my first look.  As for the colors, I know other countries used this color's sequence. Now, I've to search again and made a new guess.  Regards Edmond |

Hello,
After checking the photo again and again, I'm not sure the axle is divided. If you look it closely, it appears the two wheels are broken from the axle. It seems to me the undercarriage legs must be broken also. Due to this supposition, I maintain my first guess. Regards Edmond |
