As I already have a What Cockpit challenge to monitor and in accordance with the Mods (Senior Pilot's post) #252 (permalink) I will now declare an Open House to allow some of overseas PPRuNers a chance to post a new Challenge
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.

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

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?
