In the Martinsyde file, by Ray Sanger, is something interresting written on page 192.
In 1921 there were delivered several types of aeroplane delivered to Japan for testing, on of them was the Martinsyde F.4.
In the part about the F.4 delivered to Japan is written:
He also reported that he had seen a machine , almost identical to an F.4 but with modified tail and fitted with three flotation bags, which had been used for deck-landing trails on the Hosho.
Following the trails, the cowling had been modified to improve the view over the nose. By replacing the radiator with two cylindrical radiators under the engine and moving the carburettors to positions either side of the engine, it had been possible to incorporate a concave upper surface into the cowling.
Which type of aeroplane was this?
Please who can help with all kind of details/drawings/pictures etc.?
Is or are there any details of the Martinsyde F.4 during the service in Japan?
How and in which colors was it painted etc.?
Are there any pictures?
Thanks
