Hint
 

A further hint: the designer is one of the most well-known in French light aircraft.

PBW,

Please check PMs.

There is a hint of Jodel in that back end (and the upturned wing tips)

Jodel?
 

You are on the right lines. Not a Jodel per se - so is it Jo or Del?

I am having to travel for the rest of the day - will try and look in but if people get bored, please OH.

Hi PBW,

Just having a look before bed and all I can find is an unbuilt project by Jean Delemontez. However, it is called a Jodel in the article I found and the dihedral mentioned is not as per the drawing!!

Perhaps these are errors and it was called the Delemontez D12 ??

Some parts fit your clues others don't :O What year was it? Is the drawing on the web?

Correct!
 

The Delemontez D12 it is. You have control.
PBW

Thanks PBW, nice challenge, interesting to track down, but any images still elude me!

Here's the next one, which is lavishly illustrated on the Internet :)

Transport or bomber?

G'day Trevor. Fokker mate? F.XXII or FXXXVI.

Bloody Romans - what have they ever done for us?!

I didn't know the Roman Empire extended to Australia!

Hi guys,

Logged on to answer LM and saw Graeme's post

Well it seems they taught Fosters how to spell BEER (XXXX if that's what it is??) :)

'Tiz indeed the Fokker F.36 (in proper English), well done :D

Fokker F.XXXVI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noyade has Control :ok:

Thanks Trevor - they look very similar.

Yes David, they were here - quickly, tell me what year this monster is...:)

I didn't consult the list with this one...
(Edit: Just checked, can't see it listed. :ok:)

G'day Graeme,

Do you mean the large aeroplane or the monument? :)

The latter is in Oz Roman and = 1929 and I think the silhouette is MDCCCCXXII, or as I wuz taught MCMXXII (if it's what I think it is) ;)

I'm having an early night, so I'll hang fire on calling it now and see if anyone else gets it while I :zzz: or before I get my arse in gear tomorrow :)

Well done mate! :ok: We stood under that and my son asked me what year it is - I said, "well of course it's...hang on....gimme a minute...I was really good at this in school...gimme another minute...bloody Romans!!"

No, Fosters know perfectly well that BEER is spelled Lager. It's the boys in the Deep North - Castlemaine Perkins in Brisbane - who can't spell. ;)

"Make it a Fourex, Mate!"

Strewth Simon, you're right there mate, I was going to say Aussies, but changed it to Fosters, obviously brain not in gear :O

Have one on me Mate, but to please my old schoolteacher, make it an XL :)

BTW, talking of forty, do you know what happened with WD's 1 to 39, before they hit success with WD40 ??

Apologies for the thread drift; back to Graeme's Challenge!!

Hoping brain and arse now in gear, I reckon it's the long nosed Boulton Paul P.12 Bodmin made for Postal duties ?

That's the one Trevor! Your control :ok:

The original. Weird looking machine with the engines in the fuselage ....

Thanks Graeme,

Nice challenge mate :ok:

Indeed it was an odd looking and one with an engine-room!

Here's the next one:

Morning Trevor.
