LM: Well, I thought you started from Poland, then went to Czech, then to Austria etc - or Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, and eventually end up to France either way....

'Artnoon LM,
I believe 'tz the 1912 Vendome Type Militaire Monoplane ?
Edited to say; Reg, I made the mistake of checking the easy Bregeut ones first, then rapidly scrolled down your namesakes site, not stopping to open any Yank ones, and I started at 1911, 'coz I only had my 15min coffee break

There, what did I say!! I was intending to let it bide a while before launching, but I had no choice. 
It is the Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm LAMPYRIDAE
Well done mate 
Edited to say that RegDep has requesten an Open House
It is the Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm LAMPYRIDAE
PROGRAMME: Partly declassified in February 1995. Launched under Luftwaffe contract in 1981 by then MBB (Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm); codenamed Lampyridae (Latin for Firefly) or Medium-Range Missile Fighter.
Wind tunnel testing in 1985 on 1:3.5 scale low-speed modeland 1:20 transonic model; radar cross-section analysed on full-sized mockup (length overall: 16 m; 52 ft). Programme culminated in 1987 with 15 `flights' by manned, but unpowered 1:1.33 scale aircraft in German-Netherlands wind tunnel at Emmeloord; simulated speeds up to 120 knots (222 km/h; 138 mph) and small-amplitude movements about all axes.
Radar signature targets were met (and probably bettered Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk from frontal aspect, despite latter's more than double number of facets).

TC,
I also have to go shortly and try to re-install my modified computer at home.
Looks like you have some breathing space to fire up another one.
edit:...just NB'd Ken on line, so I wonder If he's solved his image posting problem.

I'm tempted, but if I can't get my home machine working, I shall not be able to monitor.
One light on and it's mine - now going off, so I'll lock the front door and put all the lights off.

Not so much posting problems, more the inability to participate. I was lucky today as I had a quiet period, but I'm away again. It would not be fair of me to post as I may not be able to monitor. The internet in the hotel here is lousy so if I were to post now it could easily be sometime tomorrow before I could check. That's certainly not in the spirit of the competition. So for the time being I'll look in from time to time during my coffee breaks....sound like anyone you know?

Thanks for the update Ken,
Hmm; nope, can't think of anyone!!!
As promised, before I set off home, here's the next challenge, another easy one methinks (especially for Graeme if he's up early Thursday)!
I've left a couple of highlights to give an idea of where the sponsons and tail are located.

If I'd known you were going to get your PC (not #49) up and running so swiftly, I'd have stopped and done another
