Of course - the whole shooting match

unless that's a cunning clew?

Oh my GOD!!

[meleagertoo]

No "possibly" about it - Noyade has it - the Goodyear "Inflat-o-plane" which actually worked quite well.

Now see what I meant by blowing it up or inflating it !!

[Asturias56]

Wasn't sure you were serious - that's worse than the Submarine-plane we had earlier this year!!

[sycamore]

Perhaps not as bad as the `Durex Delta`,so named as made by the well-known `London Rubber Company` ,suppliers of `equipment` for responsible pilot`s `appendages,as safety equipment...! Tested at B-D for an Army requirement...

[Noyade]

Cheers Mel.
Only the tyres were inflated on this one...

From the door/roof arrangement it could be a Globe Swift. But that comes in many cockpit layouts.

Over to you.

Thanks Noyade,
How does it work?
Do the side windows slide down like a car?

Now this:

[meleagertoo]

Farman Jabiru?

What a nice flight deck - I think even I could fly it!. A classy French trimotor, so something like a Dewoitine? Does it have drop tanks (“largage reservoir”) or have I mistranslated?

[Self loading bear]

A bit later than the Jaribu.
Indeed French.
I think those 3 handles are to jettison the fuel, not the tanks!
But I think quite peculiar that it could jettison fuel? (this is not a clue, just a question).

[Asturias56]

Pre 1939?

Yes
As far as I can see there are no French tri-motors post 1939.
(and less than 5 outside France)

A bit of a stab in the dark, but the Lorraine-Hanriot LH70 had three “réservoirs d’essence largables”?
