Another flash...Vickers Vespa...?
A little less confident now I see....no, not a Vespa.

Mind those eggs mate, they exploded last time you were trying to do breakfast and SC at the same time! Sausages and bacon as well?

Anzani 10 engine?
I believe it to be an Anzani but unfortunately there is no mention of the engine type.

It's something new mate...a "Tefal toast'n'egg." My wife bought it. If it doesn't work I'll blame her...



I better read the instructions.....so I'll log off and concentrate...

Cheers guys.

there is no mention of the engine type.
Now THAT doesn't sound good!

That looks a little high tech and far too healthy - this is what you need:

Wow!

I'll put the less tempting challenge as Huff-Daland HD-4 Bridget because it has one engine and is developed from HD-1 which had two 100 hp Anzani engines. Picture I have not seen.

Not a Huff-Daland, and to save further investigation, its not a North American aircraft.

Bet you're feeling hungry now! I should stress that my version of it is a little more healthy - and conveniently it comes in a box - just add milk!

Next then: The Central Centaur IVA, a wire-braced, fabric-covered wooden biplane, powered by the 100hp Anzani nine-cylinder radial engine.

Ok RD, have a good sleep - but if you want something to think about - it is from a European manufacturer.
Good night

Good morning Skytrain!

Is your challenge easier than we think or just hopeless?

You won't find in places like Aviastar or Airwar if that's what you mean. But it is on other sites, including Flight.

However this aircraft was incorrectly suggested for a challenge earlier this year. So evidently someone else had come accross it.

It will be Bulté RB1 then.

I can see that in that discussion many other of the "contenders" of this challenge were mentioned......

Bult RB1 O-BAJR
