Pah....only fifteen.
When I was part of the Bruggen wing, Germany, in the late 70s, we often launched four squadrons of Jaguars on what was known as Option Alpha.
Take-offs were pairs at well under a minute intervals. Basically if you could get a pair on to the runway, you went for it.
All jets in a spread-out twenty eight mile long formation going to saturate a single target.
Forty-five to forty-eight jets !!!!!!!!!!
Now then, back on thread to the challenge..
Edit:
Looks like SP has got there. Let's hope skytrain isn't up too late tomorrow.

Well done Silvio, yes its the OMA SkyCar, which perhaps despite the appearance of the 3-view has been built and is flying. Here she is:
Silvio has declared Open House. Not sure who's still around this evening, but may be an opening for Noyade or evansb?

Could be the ANEC lightplane from - maybe 1921. I do know it isn't the ANEC II from 1923, but I have seen this one somewhere, and think that it was constructed by a flying club.

WRONG!
But it could be "Aero Club of the Royal Aircraft Establishment"'s Zephyr.

It is indeed the Aero Club of the Royal Aircraft Establishment's Zephyr.
You have control.
The Zephyr was the first of three light aircraft designed and built by the Aero Club of the RAE. It was designed by Samuel Childs. As the Club originally considered it as an entrant to the Lympne Motor Glider Competiton where the Daily Mail prize of £1000 for a 50 mile flight was limited to aircraft with engines of less than 750 cc capacity, it was fitted with a 600 cc Douglas flat-twin engine that produced only about 20 hp (15 kW)
Thanks.
A little later.

It is the IA-37. Right

Hi LM,
I believe it's 1926 Albessard tandem monoplane with 70-h.p. Anzani engine (not to be confused with one of a similar name produced in 1914)
I suspect that the name given in the article below may be wrong and that it should be referred to as the Albessard Triavion of 1926 which was apparently fitted with a 95-h.p. Salmson.
But they look like the same aircraft to me!!!

If correct, Open House please as I'm offline soon until Monday

Hi TC.
It isn't the Albessard tandem monoplane.
"I suspect that the name given in the article below may be wrong and that it should be referred to as the Albessard Triavion."
They are not the same aeroplane.
The challenge one is the Triavion, so a win.
