The Rules.

1. All aircraft are of the 1914-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.
3. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner! Offenders will be dealt with severely!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer should include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in it's identification. 'Should' becomes 'must' once a score of 25 is reached.
5. And whoever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
6. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet. In cases where the arbitrator's game answer is in question the decision rests with the current leader of the table.

Wish I could read the writing on the tail - I feel I should know this one......

[YavorD]

Sure You know, Sir ... a pretty well known machine
Good hunting,
Yavor

[Froggy]

May be it the writing on the rudder is Short 184 ?

The characteristic I see is the lack of that stange square box ?in front the the upper
wing

Bruno ,

Square box is the radiator .

[YavorD]

The strange square box is a radiator.
The source of the picture is IWM Q 73761. See also IWM Q 73587.

The caption of the pictures is not entirely correct but the aircraft in question is Short Admiralty 184 Type 8034 (RNAS) on a lighter alongside aircraft carrier HMS Vindex off Sheerness. Crew Flight Lieutenant Harold Frederick Towler and Flight Sub Lieutenant Frank S. McGill, both slightly injured (both were pilots qualified in 1915, not sure who was the pilot on this occasion). Crashed 7 November 1915, hoisted on HMS Vindex 8 November 1915.

Congratulations Bruno!
Thank You,
Yavor
