He hasn't and I'm here without my link to my favourite french website! Bugger!
I wonder why he finds it interesting? There's something hidden in all that blackness!

Off thread/challenge for a moment if I may please.
I am about to "round robin" PMs about your views on a weekend get together.
I can't remember the whereabouts of HD or one11 though, so to save me the effort does anyone know.
Somebody would have to bring a laptop though - we couldn't stay off thread now, could we! (in between filling up glasses).
There always is trust me. Try a night intercept on an unknown aeroplane at 0300 and then to discover it's flying close to your buffet speed!
Watch out - Bernoulli is about.

Sorry David, I can't help.
The challenge - what do we have?
- biplane
- rectractable gear
- inline engine?
- small fin/rudder
- strange chimney-like exhaust indicating it is older than we may think?
No idea and fading fast! RR

I'm beginning to think its American...?
My intital thought was that its a seaplane, but there again I'm not so sure now.
Have to think about the cryptic clue.
Get together....one11 is up north somewhere I think. HD was online earlier...hopefully he will check in on the thread and let us know where he is.

I have it, I think: the Ursinus Seaplane from Germany, although the tail is not quite right.

Thanks Ton....yes, I'm sure it must be. A fascinating concept, particularly considering when it was built.
Good call on the D'Alessandris JT-SP yesterday...did you see mine/WK's comments?
