This aircraft was constructed in 1908 and was shown at the 1909 Paris salon and featured variable camber wings and contra-rotating props.


I can find no evidence that it actually flew ... however by 1912 the constructor's association with Henri Olivier led to a successful aircraft construction company.


... this challenge is a bit more obscure than I imagined when I posted it...

Evening Windriver.

Fernand Lioré?

AviaFrance has only one entry for this man. The Loire 2?

Can we be more precise, was this an amphibian, or a land plane?

Certainly mate. Land-plane with a fixed undercarriage. Designed as a reconnaissance aircraft but no production order, so only one built. First flight was in 1932.

And to be even more precise - it's a trimotor...

It looks like something SARO would have build, but the landplane bit rules that out.


Are they Armstrong Siddeley or perhaps Bristol Jupiter engines?

Yeah, not from Saro and they're Salmson engines...

Indeed it is! Your control.
