Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Noyade]

Another kit plane/homebuilt mate? Woody Pusher or something? Looking now...

[skytrain10]

Not a kit plane. European design, 1930's.

[Noyade]

I was thinking of the Aerosport Woody's Pusher, but the tail is wrong. Also thought the Curtiss CW-1, but again the tail doesn't fit...

European design, 1930's.

I just looked up. Thanks.

Last stab before retiring...Dutch?

You're too young mate Not Dutch. Go on, make yourself a cuppa and stick around a little longer

[Noyade]

Thanks, but no thanks. Catch you another time. I'm sure Trevor will be having a coffee break shortly. Night!

[skytrain10]

Morning Bri, not the Super Drone. Not a British aircraft.

Evening Ken,

Dog sitting again, so first look-in of the day

That tail has a Brochet look about it! I see that Maurice B constructed a similar looking aircraft under the confusing name of Avia 50, but the photo in AviaFrance looks to have a more rounded forward fuselage than indicated on the drawing and slightly different U/C struts, but I'm always a little wary of deviations from the drawings occuring during the actual construction !!

Any connection, if not I'll ask is it Belgian?

[skytrain10]

Hi Trevor
Good investigation...it is actually the Avia 50MP, or I would have accepted Brochet MB.20 as they are externally similar.
No photo to offer from my source.
SincoTC has control

[SincoTC]

Thanks Ken,

I was just coming back to say that closer inspection of the photo and the drawing make me think that the drawing shows a single seater, but the photo looks like "rounded side cheeks" have been added for side-by side seats and the track of the U/C widened accordingly.

I'm just off walkies at the moment and I'm not sure if I will have connection at the house-sit location as they've changed all their computers to Mac and I'm not sure about the wireless router 'til I get there; so I'll call an Open House at the moment as there are others on line at the moment and play it by ear later, so please don't wait in case I can't get back online 'til tomorrow.

Open House

Karlark is correct. The version in the photo was transformed into an autogiro.
