Front end, the background is the structure of the building in which the craft is housed. It is not a Junkers Test Bed.

[Noyade]

Wing-tip jet?

[MReyn24050]

Not a wing-tip jet Graeme

[Kitbag]

You say 'craft', is this an airship? Goodyear Blimp perhaps?

[MReyn24050]

No it is not an airship.

[Noyade]

Evening Mel. Is it a pulse-jet?

[MReyn24050]

Hi Graeme.
It certainly is a Pulse-Jet engine.

[Kitbag]

JB-2 Loon?

[MReyn24050]

Not the JB-2 Loon but built for a similar purpose but not German.

[Karlark]

Is it the Northrop JB-10, then?

[MReyn24050]

You have it Karlark, sorry for the delay.


You have control

[Karlark]

Thanks Mel. Here is the next challenge:

[Noyade]

Looks like a Dugong fighting a Giant Squid.

German?

[Karlark]

No, not a huge German manatee. (Had to look that up).

[Kitbag]

'W' engined racer- Supermarine S5?

[Karlark]

Evening Kitbag,

Not a Supermarine. Not British or German. The engine is a Hispano-Suiza V-12.

This particular aircraft was noted for a couple of achievements.

[Karlark]

More clues:

Noted for being the first fixed winged aircraft to fly non-stop East to West from Paris to New York.

Around 2,700 of various models were built.

[Noyade]

Thanks for the clues mate. Doesn't show your plumbers nightmare of pipes but it must be the Breguet XIX...?

Heading to work now, so open house if it is.

[Karlark]

Yes it is the Breguet 19 .

I believe this is the Super Bidon model that made the trip:



Open House per Noyade's request.
