Re: Photo Farman

Looks more like a MF.7 to me with all the "stuff" sticking out in front.

Not convinced we are looking at the aircraft's number here Clint.
Whatever the digits are they seem to me to be painted on the inside of the panel and when it gets closed those digits are up-side-down.

Perhaps that was the point and they would be visible when the aircraft was at rest on the ground. I am just not convinced, that's all....

Cheers
Stig

Re: Photo Farman

Hi Stig,


With regard to the type of aircraft shown I've let myself be swayed by http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escad...ete_Farman.htm I assumed that this was probably the photo referred to as his source given that the aircraft shows 218 and Chartres is written below the photo. But I agree with you, this is a MF.7.


As for whether this is the aircraft serial we're seeing, frankly its impossible to say. Hopefully at some stage photos of a Farman turn up showing both the inside of the cockpit and the serial onthe tail. Well I can dream...
Thought it worth posting the image in any event because of the unusual location of the number.



Regards,


Clint

Re: Photo Farman

Hello,


Currently on ebay is a photo of what may be a RNAS Farman Seaplane at:


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AVIATION-...8AAOSwe7FfZPga


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AVIATION-...AAAOSwcVZfZPdC



Can anyone decipher the writing on the nacelle of the machine? Sturtivant & Page in Royal Navy Aircraft Serials and Units 1911-1919 mention a Farman F.22H overturned near Clacton 1.4.1914. A rather tenuous connection, though,as they assume mistaken identity. Does anyone know more?



Regards,


Clint

Re: Photo Farman

Hello ,


Currently on ebay is a photo of a machine with either Russian or Bulgarian military personnel at:


https://www.ebay.de/itm/Flugzeugbild...QAAOSwSdFfp~ew


I assume it is either:


a] An early Farman - Farman VII perhaps?
b] A copy of a Farman design built by Dux?
c] None of the above?


Regards,


Clint
