It's odd that JAWA 1919 and Flight agree it's a Thulin/Gnôme but Jane's Fighting Aircraft has it as a Spijker. The last has two photos of "School Machines" with different cowlings but otherwise very similar. One, captioned V.2, has a 360° enclosure, the other, no type in caption, open at the bottom over some 90° as on lots of rotaries of the period. As far as I know, Spijker only made one trainer type, the V.2, so wonder if there was a change of engine as well as cowling at some point. The later V.3 single seat fighter did use a Spijker-Clerget (though bigger) in a 360° cowling.TSRL (talk) 17:33, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
