End of the propeller era, maybe ?

I was made before the end of the propeller era

Piston ?
US ?
Military ?

Piston - Oh yes.

US - No.

Military - Yes, the military flew it.

Possibly the DHC-1 Chipmunk...?

Sorry treadigraph, not the Chipmunk.

Are you a Brit ?

are you named after a city?

are you single engined?

were you used in the reconnaissance role?

Martin-Baker MB1 perchance?

Morning Gentlemen.

Bre901 - No not British.

London Jets

Not named after a City.

Single Engine - yes, just the one.

Reconnaissance - No.

LowNSlow - Sorry thats not me.

I was the last of a line of different aircraft built for a specific role, even though I was never used in that role I would have been the best at it.

Are you Italian ?

Bre901.

Yes, I am Italian.

I think I gave away too much in the last clue.

Peter.

Peter

I guess you are the Macchi MC72 then
World's fastest seaplane (piston) 709 km/h (440 mph)
Came a bit late for the Schneider Trophy (won by the Supermarine SB6B)

Spot on Bre901.

I am the Macchi MC72

A tick VG and a very well done to you.

I was the last designed for the Schneider Trophy, never took part but I was the fastest propeller driven seaplane and have never been beaten, number one

:ok:

Over to you Bre901:ok:

Thanks Peter
You gave out even more saying that ;)

There we go :

I'm not what you would call lowlife.

A high flyer then...

No

Is no for jet or high flyer or both

Assuming we're into altitude record holders (ABTMOAF )
