Name that Flying Machine

[Herod]

Guys; there's a chap posting a query on the thread titled "WWI Plane" If anyone can help him it will be one of you.

Is your mystery, teusje, the Jacuzzi J-7 Reo?

[teusje]

That's right, it is the Jacuzzi J-7 Reo. Only one was built, and when it crashed killing one of the founders of the company, it was decided to get out of the aircraft business.

You have control, fauteuil volant

[fauteuil volant]

Thank you, teusje. However I think that the Jacuzzi brothers made a sound business move when they gave up aviation for hot tubs!

I apologise for the quality of the following image, which is taken from a newspaper. It's from a designer of whom much could have been expected had he not been killed in action in 1939.

[fauteuil volant]

This aeroplane was modified, as below (with apologies for the equally poor quality image), before it disappeared into the aeronautical black hole that was called the German Occupation.

It started life with a 30hp Poinsard, which was replaced by a 40hp Train. After the designer's death, his widow married the designer of the Nord 262.

We'll go with the Trébucien Sport then. Had to dig up my non-existent knowledge of the French language but got there in the end... OH if correct.

[fauteuil volant]

You've gone in precisely the right direction, Jhieminga! I've seen it described to as the Trébucien Sport and the Trébucien XI - but if the latter is correct, I don't know what happened to the other ten as this is the only aircraft designed by Sgt. Jean Jacques Henri Trébucien (it was constructed by SFCA) of which I'm aware. Trébucien was killed at Villacoublay on 4 December 1939 when a badly stowed observer's parachute caught in the slipstream of his Potez 25, causing it to dive in and crash through the roof of a nearby house. Looking at the design of the Sport, had he survived the war I could see him having gone down a road similar to that of Roger Druine and Jean Delmontez. His widow married Max Holste.

We wait the next enigma from you, Jhieminga (oops, sorry, I've just noticed that you've declared open house)!

[teusje]

As an Open House has been declared, I would like to you to name this flying machine.

[fauteuil volant]

Valmet VL Viima?

[teusje]

That was really quick, FV. That's it.
You have control.

[fauteuil volant]

Thank you, teusje. Now here's a sporty looking sesquiplane to which someone, surely, can put a name ..... ?

[fauteuil volant]

The French prototypical registration is something of a red herring. Whilst it indicates where it ended up, it deceives as to its origin - where it wasn't fitted with a 90hp Cirrus engine and didn't have a second seat.

[teusje]

I guess that would make it the Mulot AM.220 Sport?

[fauteuil volant]

Which would be a correct guess. I do try to oblige with something reasonably local to the regulars! Over to Holland.

[teusje]

Thank you fauteuil volant. Let's try this one. Should be easy enough.

[Jhieminga]

Open house again.

[teusje]

That's the one, Jelle has declared Open House.

[Jhieminga]

Allright, I'll upload an easy one then...

[old,not bold]

Vought V-326? Pressurised Corsair testbed with turbo-charger.

OH if right...I'm away sailing for a week.
