:ok:

Over to you Beamr!

Beamr 12th Oct 2021 04:57

something more traditional, or is it?

Airspeed Queen Wasp. :ok:

Indeed it is. Radio controlled target aircraft from 1939 with a single pilot seat for ferry ops.

You have the controls, Noyade.

Noyade 13th Oct 2021 22:46

Thanks Beamr.

Another floater...

No idea, but a crash would result in hundreds of dollars-worth of improvements. :ok:

EDIT: And I'm guessing it was underpowered?

It was that good, I think only one built. Perhaps the designer should have reflected on his first-name when the idea struck, and desisted!

Ahhhh...you have it! :ok:
Want control - or continue with clues?

asw28-866 15th Oct 2021 03:52

Keep going with the clues, I'm in no hurry!

Noyade 15th Oct 2021 04:47

Okay.

From what I've read - related to a famous manufacturer that completed 83 design studies, built 39 prototypes and 11 production series, a total of 776 aircraft.
This included 6-engined flying boats.

Latecoere 225 then. A new one on me.

That's the one - and you named it.
Over to you. :ok:

Pypard 15th Oct 2021 07:27

I think asw28-866 has the helm? Happy to post one if not :)

Asturias56 15th Oct 2021 08:51

Quemerford named it so it should be his - if ASW 28 wanted the con he would have named it rather than make an allusion.

Pypard 15th Oct 2021 09:55

Well try this and see how it goes...

Asturias56 15th Oct 2021 15:02

I thought it was Quemerford or ASW 28 turn?

Pypard 15th Oct 2021 15:54

Well that's weird: I seem to have two logins!

Q

Quemerford 15th Oct 2021 16:02

And as if to prove it, here I am again. Turns out my 'old' laptop has a different login. Lesson learnt & apologies for the confusion :}

asw28-866 15th Oct 2021 21:45

A56 is correct, had I desired control I would have explicitly named the type. Often not in a position to post/moderate a challenge, but always enjoy the chase. P.S. I’m a ‘she’!
