You are quite correct, the DH-34 indeed it is. Over to you.

Sorry windriver, it looks as though I pipped you by 4 minutes. It was the de Havilland D.H.34

If you have another challenge please feel free to post it.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
John Cleese was the first thing to spring to my mind... Was the contraption French?

Al Gore's attempt at Carbon Parity flying. Filmed as......"An inconvenient conveyance"

Yes it is French... and looks like it could have been dreamed up by Terry Gilliam... As for Al Gore.. one wonders if he'd be so green if things had turned out differently and he'd got his seat on Air Force One and the Presidential chopper....

Not sure this thing actually has a name so the identity of the designer/pilot will do...

Happy New Year....

No sorry... Not a famous name but despite the John Cleese look this machine and designer achieved something quite remarkable for the time.
