David, this "get-together" you're organising for the 27th...

You must have phone numbers for the participants?!

I can't even determine if it's civil or military...

More coffee.

Why not simply Bleriot Spad S 20, one of the shorter wing racing versions?

Ah, you're thinking of my comment regarding a certain challenge you posted! No, not a Pitts Special.

That lasted 72 mins - yep, its the AcroSport, originally derived from the EAA Biplane. Well done

Cant give you the original picture as Photobucket has crashed again!

All yours RegDep.

I don't know how the rest of you are managing but it seems Photobucket have very recently updated their site - maybe today or yesterday(?) - and ever since then I've had problems getting images uploaded, or as in my attempt just now, downloaded on to SC. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Crisis averted. Stand down. DEFCON 5

Nice image Ken. Never thought of a homebuilt for the Noyade 500.
AcroSport
How many were built?

Thanks Skytrain.

This is a Bonus Round (Fanfares: 100 trumpets play Charge of the Light Brigade, Spike Jones style)

With my permission, let me do a deviation to the routine by temporarily and post a merged challenge of SC, Which Aerodrome, and the Gosport Ancient Yachters Civilised Discussion Forum.

In the following post (not silhouetted, by the way), ID the vessel in left (the main challenge), in the rig of the vessel right (worth two sticker stars in your collection book) and the aerodrome (five stars). As a clue to the latter: The Navy of the same nation and sundry of the vessel in left messed the place up some 65 or so years earlier, fighting the Crimean war (hence the Charge of the Light Brigade is highly appropriate).



PS: If this is against the rules, please let me know - my quota of nul and void is not full yet.

Thanks. That was my plan. Pitts was too obvious, so decided the AcroSport was worth a try.

How many were built?
On last count there were over 800 registered with many more still being built - certainly an aircraft with longevity!

Yes. I do. It works.

Flexistowe F.2A

You guys fight that one amongst yourselves before you come and talk to me. Is that clear? Dismissed!

Edit to say: OK, At ease. Yes, it is. Next.

CORRECTION: No. Wrong version
