Re: Photo Hanriot Aircraft
Great job Nick!!!
A TS-2 it is! The engine is the Aeromarine U-8-D
The TS-1 with its initial Lawrence engine and later Wright J-4 engine is easy to spot.
First time I see the Aeromarine U-8-D engine identified in an airframe.
With regard to the Curtiss Trophy Race 8 Oct 1922 we do now have photos (your find)
of all the TS/TR aircraft which participated.
I believe the 1000 aircraft photo site is wrong when they say the last TS-3 (A-6449 as a TR-2)
took part in that race. I have no evidence it actually did
Race No 11 (TS-2) A-6446 retired at lap 4
Race No 12 (TS-1) A-6304 retired at lap 6
Race No 15 (TR-1) A-6303 won the race
Race No 16 (TR-3) A-6447 retired at lap 4
What do you got?
Cheers
Stig
