Just beat me to it...

By way of a penance here's the two side by side for comparison... (T1 on the left)




The Garret



And finally a link to an article on the Marendaz (pdf format)

If no images it's due to Pipex DNS problems... they should reappear in due course...

Next Challenge

Here is the next one, not as unique as windriver's one so I don't think it will cause any problems.

One is probably in the wrong country, yet again which says something for my navigational skills.

I will suggest USA and possibly the Boeing Model 80.

The Italians did have a sort of fetish for 3 engines - is Windriver in the right country?

Fitter2 - No, windriver was in the wrong country but the right continent.
Con-piolt - No, this aircraft was not a seaplane.

It is a glider. Only 3 were produced, although 70 were planned.
