Hi RR, yes it is from La Douce France. I think 1930s.
Seems two may have been built.

but there are links with Caudron surely? I have seen this machine when I've been on the net but I can't remember what it is!

RR that is the one
I am not that strong at pre-WW2 types, but I also saw a picture of a SFCA 20 with a fixed gear and lacking the small cockpit bulge.

You have control, please

Thanks Walter-Karl

Yes, an interesting aircraft, of typical eccentric French style! The similarities to Caudron are striking!

Here's a easy one (sorry David, no burners!)

A very good afternoon to you RR.

No burners? It doesn't appear to have any engine at all. Am I correct?

BTW, excellent shooting with the last one.

Hi David!! Nice lunch? How about this one, then? A glider!! It isn't that unusual so I don't expect it to be around for long!! M

PS: thanks on the SFCA thingey!

Don't get the fin.

Apart from that it's classic Schweizer. Still looking.

Afternoon all

Been making the most of the lovely weather, but starting to cool down now, so thought I would take a look and see whats happening.

Martin, would this be the Vogt LO-100 Zwergreiher?

Just made it up!! Only joking...it was a German glider from the early 50's.

The tail reminds me of a Schleicher, but I can't see any models that match....would it be German though?

Good morning mate!

I quite expected to sign on and find that Graeme had got it! Sorry, not German.

Catch you later

G'day Martin.

Life's good, thanks! Yourself?

Hey, how come you "expected" me to solve that? Something I'm missing?

New one. I've tried this before on the net...

(The negative process didn't work very well, looks like a line drawing on dark chipboard. LOL.)
