Morning Graeme....thanks re the Coracoran. I recognise the photo but can't think where I've seen it.

No more Argentinian challenges for a while! This one is European, 1930's.

Polish Ken?

skytrain10 10th Feb 2012 07:43

Not Polish Graeme....try a western European country.

Sorry Ken but I can't see any image! :(

Lightning Mate 10th Feb 2012 10:34

Do you want me to PM it to you?

A Caudron?

A Caudron?
Straight in...yes, a Caudron:ok:

Lightning Mate 10th Feb 2012 11:11

C280 Phalene?

skytrain10 10th Feb 2012 11:15


C280 Phalene?
Nope! Think that had a radial engine?

Lightning Mate 10th Feb 2012 11:16

Some had inverted in-line fours.

Caudron C.480 Frégate then?

...or C.510 Pélican.

skytrain10 10th Feb 2012 11:42

Not the C480...that had slightly swept wings.

The C510 is very close...but not quite there:)

If you say so:)

Same year of manufacture as the C.510 and very similar looking save for the tail, which on most C510's was significantly higher than on the challenge aircraft, and the engine exhaust, which on the 510 goes further back.

Karlark 10th Feb 2012 12:18

Caudron C.410.

Swoop :) open house if correct... have to get at work.

buttrick 10th Feb 2012 13:44

On the strength that that is the same photo in Aviafrance

I would dearly like some info on this particularly a reliable source

Caudron C.410.
It is indeed the Caudron C.410 Karl. Well done:ok:,

David, you came so close so if I may, in light of Karl's OH call, I award control to LM.

Buttrick, sorry but is your post a proposed challenge in view of Karl's call for OH or are you questioning whether it is a Caudron C.410?

Lightning Mate 10th Feb 2012 14:54

Just out of class and watching with interest.....

skytrain10 10th Feb 2012 14:59


Just out of class and watching with interest.....
Are you able to post something (as control is yours) or should I make it Open House?
