Hello Mel - not seen you on the thread for a while, but you have been busy on the others I see.

Well, you can now do something on this one, since you have control :ok:

MReyn24050 4th Sep 2009 22:33

Thanks LM. Might not have taken part on the thread but have been watching the progress. Here is the next one.:-

Hi Mel.

The Caudron C-460 racer?

MReyn24050 5th Sep 2009 09:52

Noyade I will give it to you. It is infact the Caudron C.714R
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...el/714rno8.jpg

When Marcel Riffard of Caudron heard of Willy Messerschmitt's Bf 109 V13's record flight he decided to build two further examples of the C.712. The original C.712 had crashed earlier in the year when the tail surfaces broke up, so the new aircraft were to be fitted with reinforced rear fuselages. The second of these two aircraft, initially known as the C.712R, was to be fitted with a more powerful Renault engine, and other improvements were to be incorporated. In the summer of 1938, when news of the Heinkel record reached France, work on the first of the new 712 machines was halted so that the design team could concentrate exclusively on the much more refined C.712R from which a world record speed of some 730 km/h was expected. The company had also developed a lightweight fighter, the Caudron C.714, which had been test-flown at the same time. Since great hopes of international sales were vested in this aircraft, the designation of the potential record breaker was changed from C.712R to C.714R.

You have control.

You have control.
I think you're being far too generous Mel. The 460 never addressed that bizarre 'conning tower' like cockpit of your 714R, but I thought it would be a good start. :) Interesting machine and thank you for the history. A good challenge. I think it only fair that I declare "open house." (I'm also battling a middle ear infection and plan on retiring early. :ouch: Night Mel).

Sorry RR for failing to confirm that Saint George is correct (my fault I forgot to eliminate name from diagram) but as I repeatedly told all concerned I'm having terrible troubles to log into the forum (I tried the whole evening yesterday)...so please bear with me if I seem careless but this is a situation outside my control.
Cheers

As poor Graeme has gone to bed early with an ear infection and declared open house here is another one to find.

MReyn24050 5th Sep 2009 16:32

Sorry but this one was not a Lampich product.
Mel

Noyade 5th Sep 2009 23:18

Up early (It's Father's Day). Antibiotics are kicking in! :)

Mel, no doubts with this one, it's the R.A.E Hurricane from the 1923 Lympne lightplane trials.

MReyn24050 6th Sep 2009 09:50

It certainly is the R.A.E. Hurricane :ok::D. Well done Graeme I have a feeling you could tell me the magazine the drawing came from.

I believe the photograph is of a scale model of the aircraft.
You have control

Noyade 6th Sep 2009 10:00

Thanks Mel! I have Richard Ridings book which I understand is a compilation of his articles he did for Aeroplane Monthly. Instant recognition. :)

It's Sunday evening here Mel and you know what that means? Midsomer Murders. Time for another three locals to die!

I'll leave you with this silhouette, and see the results after the show. Cheers!

Should have stuck with the Bat, Carson! ;) Control is yours, goodnight!

Hi Graeme,
as you noticed I then reverted to my previous love, thanks for the Bat pics I didn't have and thanks for giving me control.
If the forum will allow me to log in later this evening I'll submit a new challenge.
Good night Australia
