Beagle

were you another WWI aircraft ?

About the Nighthawk some quote I took from the site you mentionned :
"It is however notable that one of the design team was none other than R.J. Mitchell, the designer of the Spitfire"
People learn, don't they ?

Pemberton-Billing? Surely no-one could really have had a name like that? A bit like Mr Cholmondely-Walker from Harry Enfield....


Nope, I was later than WW1!

What a horror that Night Hawk is! It looks like something from Wacky Races.

You aren't a Horten flying wing glider Beags?

Oui, monsieur!

Hurel Dubois 34 (not made 'of wood' - du bois !)

Exceptionally high aspect ratio ('unusual aspect') - nicknamed by some the 'flying paper knife'.

Here are some piccies: http://membres.lycos.fr/neo2097/ampaa.htm and look under 'photos'.

I'm quite frustrated, I should have thought of it.
I was even talking about the Meudon windtunnel and the HD plant accross the street, at lunch today

Bien joué, Beagle and Silas Blattner

Apologies to Bre for that - why did they bother with a retractable nose wheel ? . French designs could win lots of awards - your 690 series are my faves and they obviously cornered the 30's ugliness subsidies - but enough. An easy one to start the hols.

I was Tigers first mate.

Bonjour a tous, surtout nos collegues francais - trais bien fait SB!

Tiger's first mate - a friend of the Tiger Moth would be too easy, but let's try it anyway -

Avro Tutor?

Tiger's mate = Tigress?

Is it Tiger's or Tigers' ?

An obvious one would be the Curtiss P40
Probably too obvious though.

You're both much closer. Not jet. Not single. A bit of a wagon really.

Grumman/AA/GA Tiger now known as the 'new' Tiger...but is a single

www.tigeraircraft.com - or is 'tiger' a hint...

'Bobcat'...Cessna I think...piston twin 40's-50's

3rd guess...Grumman GA-7 Cougar...now that is a twin and a real wagon
