Name that Flying Machine

[oncemorealoft]

How would the wing spar arrangement have worked?

[kildress]

Dassault Méditerranée?

[kildress]

Probably too easy for you all. My first effort.

[Self loading bear]

Nice effort!
Definitely an interesting airplane!

[Allan Lupton]

Used to see this being test-flown and can tell you what it is, but have nothing to post so I'll leave it to the others . . .

[Quemerford]

Nice one kildress; in later config with different engines top and bottom I think.

[oxenos]

Short on looks.

Yes, RR Avon RA.3 on top and DH Gyron DGy.2 below.

[meleagertoo]

Shorts Sperrin.
Open House.

[Quemerford]

Well it was nice while it lasted.

[Herod]

Darn. I've been out all day, and this was the first one I knew the answer to!!

[Quemerford]

OK how about this one: characterised by an unusual engine...

[treadigraph]

Jeez, that looks like it's been milled from a solid chunk of granite...

Quemford's challenge looks like a scaled-up tin-plate clockwork toy.

Judging by the size of that prop, I bet it was a noisy bugger! I also note that it appears to have dual-pitot heads.

Looking at the cowling, does it have an inverted inline-six?

Close.....

Close...Would it be French with an inverted air-cooled V12?

The Dassault flight deck is distinctive, but even so a moment’s work blacking out that placard would have been helpful.

Then I apologize for that.
I agree leaving a makers name, logo or registration number in the photo can make challenges quite easy, but then I personally do not react.

[oncemorealoft]

I was the guilty party regarding the Dassault’s placard which I’d failed to notice or recognise its significance. Sorry!

I did blackout the reg on the Conestoga though.

[kcockayne]

To me, it has got a “Mooney look” to it. Then again, I might be wildly out !

Apologies for the tardy reply. No, not French and not a Mooney. It is a 12, but not a vee....
