Silhouette challenge
Bonjour à vous Richard.
Sorry for my late response - I have been teaching.
The Voisin with 37-mm Vickers automatic cannon - quite something for the year.
The thread is yours.

Morning all.
Last weekend I was watching "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid".
Don't you just love those sepia-tinted pics from long ago. So I've doctored this one, from a long time ago, a little.

Morning LM,
Is it the the DePischoff Aviette of about 1921 ?
What a rare little bugger!! I can't find any more about this curious little biplane, all searches are somewhat hampered by it's name (if that's correct) as it implies that he should be pedalling it!
Hold that! I just found a photo in the Empire State Aeroscience Museum, referring to it as the DePischoff Flying Motorcycle, but it's been fitted with a VW engine and there are several other differences, it turns out to be a replica and there was a Virus on the linked photo site too!
I'm off in a few minutes, so Open House please, if you agree with my conclusions!
Good Challenge LM

Hi LM,
"How you get that?"
I found your photo here, but I was suspicious of the name!
New design project: Aerobatic ultralight biplane
and the replica here (not the "rides.webshots" website that gave me the virus!!
