Anyway, is it the Legrand-simon LS.60 mate?
That's the one Graeme:ok: Interesting history having been designed as a submission for a French light aircraft competition for the local flying clubs. However there was insufficient funding and only the one aircraft was produced. It actually was mentioned in relation to a challenge on the original SC forum!

Here it is the right way round:)

The one example remains current on the French register.

Noyade has declared Open House

Google Mercedes SLS convertible AMG
Impressive and quite "retro" in some respects. My favourite will always be the R129 models - obviously not as quick as the AMG but very stylish.

You got one to post David?

I found another one today:)

Looks to be quite a wing span there although it may be the camera angle. A European design David?

Lightning Mate 29th Jun 2012 14:45

European..:ok:

edit: heading west - back shortly.

skytrain10 29th Jun 2012 16:34

Mmm, not having a lot of luck so far. Presume we are looking at a 2 seater, maybe bomber/trainer?

Take that back...Handley Page HP.39 Gugnunc?

Nope, a fighter.

Morning Graeme


Handley Page HP-21 Ken?
That's the one (aka the HP-S):ok: - an unsuccessful attempt to produce a fighter for the US Navy. Thought it seemed appropiate after David's challenge:)

Your control Graeme.

Noyade 29th Jun 2012 22:20

Catch ya later. Sleep well. :ok:
