Name that Flying Machine

[Noyade]

Over to you Beamr!

[Beamr]

something more traditional, or is it?

[Noyade]

Airspeed Queen Wasp.

[Beamr]

Indeed it is. Radio controlled target aircraft from 1939 with a single pilot seat for ferry ops.

You have the controls, Noyade.

[Noyade]

Thanks Beamr.

Another floater...

[Pypard]

No idea, but a crash would result in hundreds of dollars-worth of improvements.

EDIT: And I'm guessing it was underpowered?

[asw28-866]

It was that good, I think only one built. Perhaps the designer should have reflected on his first-name when the idea struck, and desisted!

A whopping 24hp.

Ahhhh...you have it!
Want control - or continue with clues?

[asw28-866]

Keep going with the clues, I'm in no hurry!

[Noyade]

Okay.

From what I've read - related to a famous manufacturer that completed 83 design studies, built 39 prototypes and 11 production series, a total of 776 aircraft.
This included 6-engined flying boats.

Latecoere 225 then. A new one on me.

That's the one - and you named it.
Over to you.

[Pypard]

I think asw28-866 has the helm? Happy to post one if not

[Asturias56]

Quemerford named it so it should be his - if ASW 28 wanted the con he would have named it rather than make an allusion.

[Pypard]

Well try this and see how it goes...

[Asturias56]

I thought it was Quemerford or ASW 28 turn?

[Pypard]

Well that's weird: I seem to have two logins!

Q

[Quemerford]

And as if to prove it, here I am again. Turns out my 'old' laptop has a different login. Lesson learnt & apologies for the confusion

[asw28-866]

A56 is correct, had I desired control I would have explicitly named the type. Often not in a position to post/moderate a challenge, but always enjoy the chase. P.S. I’m a ‘she’!
