While we all digest SincoTC's well reasoned post, I'll put something up for consideration, since it's been over 24 hours AND I'm in UTC-7.

That's the one. Not only the prototype, but the only one built. I thought by trimming the Renault 4CV out of the picture, it might have lasted longer!

An interesting aircraft that was designed to carry the SS.10 anti-tank missile, but proved unsatisfactory during trials. Wire-guided missiles launched from a fixed-wing aircraft. What could possibly go wrong? It was subsequently used in ground attack operations in Algeria.

Quemerford has control.

I did post one to say correct: over to you but it seems to have fallen off.

Looks like a nasty accident between a Skyvan, a clothes line and a bicycle..

Quemerford has it! The one and only model of the Frabjous Corporation's BiSkiLi! Having lost power on her maiden flight, she alighted with some force into a clothes basket from which she was retrieved and hung out to dry. (Just kidding....)

I think it's the time a C337 went up the back of a Bleriot mid channel...

I myself am more interested in the stories behind the airfields, aircraft, especially if someone has visited or flown it themselves

Slb, I agree. When a challenge of mine has been guessed, I always try to add something of interest that is relevant to the challenge.

Back again. Must stick to the rules.

This aircraft was a glider powered by a motorcycle engine. In 1921 it took part in a competition but did not win anything.

It sure would have been a winning contestant in the Caption competition!
But in grace it loses from the Rohnbuzzard.
I will leave the kill for Quemerford as I found his caption the best.

1921 glider competition
2nd result Budig glider which took part in the famous German Rohn glider competition.
I found that it was only in 1923 that it was fitted with the motorcycle engine.

OH when found to be correct
I hope Quemerford will fill the gap?
