VOISIN ASTRA TRIPLANE
Nicely done Bradenav! I have it as the Societe Astra Triplane of 1911 that was licensed to utilise the Wright's wing warping system. The frame work was steel tubing and the body enclosed with metal sheeting. The large six extra-heavy rubber-tired disc wheels "minimised landing shocks." It took to the air piloted by Marcel Goffin and despite its excessive weight, turned in a "noteworthy performance." Skytrain10, I'm just assuming that the pod is a fuel tank? And from memory and experience, probationary members posts don't appear until they've been approved?

Control is yours Bradenav. Welcome!
