Name that Flying Machine

Still open house:

[Pypard]

You'd have to travel miles to see one of those...

EDIT: is that Headley Road to the rear?

[Noyade]

First glancing thought was a Siebel.
But Miles M.8?

Hi Pypard - clearly you didn't need too many Miles to recognise it.
Would you like to take control?

[Pypard]

Yes give me a mo: very gracious of you. I did wonder if the 'travel' (peregrination; the M.8 was the Peregrine) would be a bit too cryptic.

[Pypard]

Try this then:

[Noyade]

That would be the never finished/never flown SNCASE SE 580?

interesting... initial feeling is a mock up of a Hawker Tornado with 24-cyl Vulture X-engine, but it isn't it...
The Italians had the Isotta Zeta 24-cyl X-engine, but can't find anything even remotely resembling the ac in the picture.

EDIT: while I was searching for (false) answer Noyade already nailed it. Ignore this post, big hand to Noyade for getting it!

[Pypard]

Yes it is indeed the SNCASE SE 580: Noyade it's your helm!

[Noyade]

Cheers Pypard!

I think it's a Pheasant h-10? - there's one in the Air-venture Museum I believe

That's the one.
Over to you.

[Asturias56]

Thanks - the clues made it (relatively) easy...................... try this

[Noyade]

I've read there were plans to produce this aircraft in West Germany as the Messerschmitt Me 100.

[Asturias56]

Really? I hadn't read that...........


A lot were built but didn't get to fly .

[Noyade]

I read it here...



(And the Hispano HA-200-RI Saeta was to be the Messerscmitt Me 200 Pfeil)

[Asturias56]

Yes - the Hispano HA100 designed by Messerschmidt - nice looking beast tho better without the tricycle undercarriage I always felt . They built a load and then the US wouldn't provide engines so they were scrapped........

[Noyade]

Thanks A56.
Time again for OPEN HOUSE.
