Silhouette challenge

[Bradenav]

French ,but not Caudron...

It's NOT a project ,it was built (before WWII) ,but never flew.

Richard

[Ridge Runner]

OK, a Dewoitine?

[Bradenav]

Sorry ,it's not a Dewoitine

[Ridge Runner]

the Gordon GL30? i can't find a picture of it?

[Bradenav]

Sorry, it's not Gordon.

[Lightning Mate]

Payen maybe?

Richard,

Prune tells me the sent PM was successful.

[Bradenav]

Sorry ,not Payen.
It was designed for the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe in the 30'

(I have not any new message in my box ...)

[drawbarz]

can't find a picture but is it the Potez 533?

I cannot find pictures but have found some details on intended (but not competing) entries.

So possibly the Capra R30 or Bernard 370?

[SincoTC]

Like most of the others, I'm finding images or drawings rather elusive, but I'm wondering if it's a S.F.C.A. Lignel 20 or maybe the later 31 Mistral?

[Bradenav]

Bonjour à tous .

Sorry ,you all are flying around ,but nobody has the clue.

let try again

[Bradenav]

The year is 1935 .

Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe

Mate, I keep googling that "Coupe" thing but all I get is a bunch of Caudrons and French conversations on Forums...but no visible projects that almost flew. Was it a big disappointment at the time and expected to win and was the firm well known or did it disappear overnight?

[skytrain10]

Struggling, but having found some info on the event, would this be the Maillet Nennig C3 aircraft, or the Regnier Martinet conversion of the Caudron C366??

[Lightning Mate]

Morning/evening everyone.

Maillet Nennig C3

Wasn't that a motor car?

[Noyade]

Afternoon guys.

How do you do it Ken? Where do you find these oddities?

Your search - Maillet Nennig C3 aircraft - did not match any documents. Reset search options
Suggestions:

• Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
• Try different keywords.
• Try more general keywords.
• Try fewer keywords.

(LM- sent e-mail to home, prefer it goes to work?)

[skytrain10]

LM, perhaps that was the problem! Definitely an aircraft...Maillet also produced the MNA-3 I think.

This is all I have found so far on a French forum:
Nennig C3

Moteur Régnier R161-01, 6 cyl

en ligne inversé, refroidi par air, compresseur, env.

Initialement prévu pour un moteur Salmson, 12 cyl.

en V inversé, refroidi par air, dérivé du 12 Vars.

.

Un seul construit, presque terminé.

[Lightning Mate]

Now I'm confused.

This is what I have found:

Nennig C3
One built, almost finished
Registered with the No.4 by his driver Guy Bart
Bonnet not ready in time

[skytrain10]

Evening Graeme....found reference to both aircraft on a search for "Coupe Deutsch 1935".

Richard, I am not sure if either one of them is the answer, as I cant find drawings/photo's but the descriptions of both tick some of the boxes...particularly having the Regnier engine (which I'm sure it is). Also there is a reference to the Martinet having retractable undercarriage.

Logging off now as have a meeting to prepare for. Cheers

According to Flight Global the 1935 Deutsch Cup had only Caudrons competing, five of them!!!! These were 450s and 460s. RR

After more research I concede. It is the Nennig C3!
