Silhouette challenge

[Noyade]

Thanks Reg!

Difficulty factor zero with this one but I think it's pretty good 'cause I took the photo.

I thought to myself at the time that if I can get the light behind it, it could become a reasonable silhouette. See, I'm always thinking of you guys!

I may be dry again....

[Ridge Runner]

dry, Reg???

[RegDep]

Well........ sort of.

Wanna take over?

[Ridge Runner]

OKay, here goes......

[RegDep]

Is this an one-off airframe or someone experimenting wit counter-rotating propellers in a "standard" one?

[Ridge Runner]

a one-off, intended to be a production machine.

A development of a production machine (different designation) that did not have the counter-rotating props.

Latecoere 299 - reconnaissance, bomber

[Ridge Runner]

It clearly is, mate.

The Latecoere 299 was intended as a landplane variant of the Latecoere 298 torpedo floatplane. The subvariant Latecoere 299A with two 920 hp Hispano-Suiza 12Y-31 in tandem was completed under supervision of the Germans and began ground tests in 1943 from Toulouse. It was eventually destroyed on April 30th, 1944 by an allied bomb raid.

You have control!!!!
