Drawn a blank on AviaFrance except those without pictures, same with Fright Archive and its pathetic search engine

Same here mate.

Hi Ken,

I've just found the ACAZ T-1 whick looks close apart from the shape of the fin, but then drawings and actual build often vary!

Now to see if it matches up with your latest clue that came in as I was looking!! Just found that the ALCAZ T-2 was designed by Alfred Renard (without the "Y" this time, foxy devil!!), so maybe that's it, but can't find piccie yet!!

[Lightning Mate]

Well, you have done better tha me because that came up on a site which I was looking at, but all it gave me was a biplane.

Just found that the ALCAZ T-2

Go no further, you have found it...it is the ACAZ T-2 from 1924. Designed by Alfred Renard. It was one of the worlds first all metal monoplanes. Here's the article I had found on it....sadly there is not a picture (other than the T1):



I have not found a complete photo on the net....there is one of the forward part of the aircraft, but thats about it.

Excellent research Sinco .Over to you

[SincoTC]

Thanks skytrain,

I thought that it might be lurking on that site you found last week and I know the Belgians used a lot of Anzanis, QED

Unfortunately, (and I bet you know what's coming now and that LM is hovering over F5 as I submit this), but I'm off now, so its another Open House Sorreee...

Fantastic shot TC.

Now the game is to beat RR:

[Lightning Mate]

.....and to try to get my own back from the man in Wales....

[Walter-Karl]

Hi Dave, anything to do with the Lanier PL-8 Paraplane?

[SincoTC]

Now the game is to beat RR

And you did mate

Weird sh*t though, shame I have to go, doubt it'll be here tomorrow though, good luck to the evening/night shift!

Cheers all

[skytrain10]

All gone very quiet....the challenge certainly looks like the PL-8.

David, why, what have I done??!!

There you are again Ken, light burning and they've all left you. Do you drink a lot of coffee? Something to do with your job?

I'd say this was the photo David used. It's unlikely Walter will return at this late hour with a challenge or OH even if David confirms it, so I'll wish you a good night and catch ya later.

Cheers
Graeme.

Posted sumfink I couldn't get innit!

It is indeed the Lanier Paraplane-Commuter. Although WK was the first there, I have once again forgotten to upload his next one to Photobucket.
It's difficult enough tracking everything else which goes on here.

So, sorry once again Walter, it will have to be Open House.

Upside-down nightshift.......????.......maybe seemples......

(Aleksander NOT wear dressgown - eess smoke jacket!)

Not sure what happened there David. Don't we wait for Walter? Or is his challenge on your work computer and not accessible?

My texta is dying...

[Lightning Mate]

G'day mate.

Check e-mail and PM shortly.

[Lightning Mate]

"Pretend It's Black"

OK

[Lightning Mate]

A tandem 2-seater?

[Ridge Runner]

something from Blackburn, Graeme?

[Lightning Mate]

Morning RR.

I'm working on the apparent lack of a radial engine.

Be advised that Shiraz time started 90 minutes ago.....

[Lightning Mate]

....and that prop seems, unusually, to be in very coarse pitch, so I am now wondering if the picture was taken whilst airborne.

[Ridge Runner]

A dive bomber prototype?
