Don't do Sunday roast mate - evening dinner.

Not British (the challenge I mean).

Looking at it you wouldn't believe it once set a world record.

Thanks mate!

My knowledge on gliders wouldn't fill a postage stamp. Mechta's the man. Haven't seen him for a while....
But I'm sure the Stig, Reg and Bri will be along shortly.

Cheers David!

A'rtnoon LM,

Not shortly I'm afraid Graeme, been busy!

That's the Poncelet Vivette and its pilot Commandant Massaux at Vauville in 1925.

Good old "Fright Archive"

Nice to see you TC - I've been lonely.

Designed by Mathieu Demonty, technical director of SABCA (Société Anonyme Belge de Construction Aéronautique), this side-by-side two-seat glider was produced by Paul Poncelet in 1923, it was registered to J.B. Richard of Brussels on October 1. At the 1925 Vauville Meeting, near Cherbourg, France, piloted by the Frenchman Albert Massaux, the aircraft established a duration record, staying aloft for 10 hr 19 min 43 sec on July 26.
Just how did you find that?

The stage is all yours.
