Photo Farman

[musec04]

Well Stig, this is a tricky one. As you'll note from my post I felt some doubt that it was a Farman MF.2. BTW, the hydroplane you reference is the MF.II,of a which based on the caption in Opdycke also existed as a landplane.But the MF.2 was also landplane based on Opdycke.


Still I agree that the machine under my link is quite possibly not the. MF.2. Here's a question for you.Do you see the MF on 'my' link as being prededed by a C,so C-MF.2? The reason I'm asking is that Kees has a photo on his site described as an MF.6 bis marked C M-F 6. Now that doesn't mean at all that your identity of MF.2 (or C MF.2 as the case may be) as an MF.7,isn't correct. It may well be as I don't think these early marking reflect the order in which Farman might have produced the machines,so a MF.7 might easily have preceded the MF.6 bis as C MF.2 and C M-F.7 respectively. Here anyway is the link to Kees' photo
