RegDep is correct, the Rouffaer R-6

And yes, I see we've had it before - my apologies.

RegDep has declared Open House.

Morning Graeme

Not needed mate. Done it dozens of times. In fact I found out later that we've already had the Fairey Firefly as a challenge.

If Mel's list was to become the contents page for an aircraft encyclopaedia it would be huge!

Doing a spot of reading. Looks like a Capt. C.F. Uwins did something famous in a version of this machine...

Thanks Graeme - needless to say Capt Uwins gave it away.

How fast can you get this one:

messy - you need to take them out of the shells first

(Schneider?)
Designed for, but I don't believe it ever competed (I'll check on that while you sort out some more eggs!)

And not the Macchi.....

Have checked and it looks like it never competed.

From what I read it was withdrawn by NAF from competing in the one and only event it was planned for - 1929.

Anyway....Williams Mercury 1 or NAF Mercury Racer or NAF SP, whatever you prefer.

Back to you mate

Got the power setting wrong
stick to a saucepan or frying pan depending on what you're doing to them - much easier, and less dangerous!

From what I read
Found your photo in a book. We have the same book?

Like a lot of us it's problem was being "overweight" and never competed.

Hence...micro-waving eggs...less fat, and usually less mess...

Very big. So it's "clipped" for added pleasure...
