Title: What is this aircraft?
Post by: smirnoff on 18 October 2016, 06:03:33 PM

Anyone know what this is?
It's a Czech biplane used in Russia (or so the reference told me).
It looks a bit like a Vickers F.B.6 but I think they only made 1....

Looks like a Farman - a shorthorn or longhorn.

I would agree but make it a F11-A2 because of the shorter nose
