It is the Denhaut Hy-479

I propose Open House

Tough one mate. Google can't find it and AviaFrance doesn't mention it....where did your silhouette/line drawing come from?

G'day David. The back bit looks like a Zeppelin!

Good morning/evening.

I thought you would like that one.

It was supposed to fly. Whether or not it did I am not sure.

Walter sends me all his images as scans, so he obviously has some books which nobody else has.

Are you sure you know which bit is the back?

Any chance this a recent contraption (university prank), or are we looking, say, 1910'ish?

Hi Graeme, the silhouette of the Denhaut Hy-479 is from Aviation Magazine International (French periodical). If you Google Denhaut Hy-479 you will find several references.

Hi Dave, the extremely streamlined sport aircraft looks a lot like the Skroback Autoplane of 1934/1935. I think it survives in a Museum somewhere.
