Beautiful thread !

Thank you Nick1 glad you like the thread and thanks for participating, long may it survive!! :D

As I already have a What Cockpit challenge to monitor and in accordance with the Mods (Senior Pilot's post) #252 (permalink) I will now declare an Open House to allow some of overseas PPRuNers a chance to post a new Challenge :ok:

While we all digest SincoTC's well reasoned post, I'll put something up for consideration, since it's been over 24 hours AND I'm in UTC-7. ;)

Potez 75 prototype?

India Four Two 9th Nov 2019 11:27

That's the one. Not only the prototype, but the only one built. I thought by trimming the Renault 4CV out of the picture, it might have lasted longer!

An interesting aircraft that was designed to carry the SS.10 anti-tank missile, but proved unsatisfactory during trials. Wire-guided missiles launched from a fixed-wing aircraft. What could possibly go wrong? It was subsequently used in ground attack operations in Algeria.

Quemerford has control.

Quemerford 9th Nov 2019 12:18

How's this then?

I did post one to say correct: over to you but it seems to have fallen off.

Looks like a nasty accident between a Skyvan, a clothes line and a bicycle..

Quemerford has it! The one and only model of the Frabjous Corporation's BiSkiLi! Having lost power on her maiden flight, she alighted with some force into a clothes basket from which she was retrieved and hung out to dry. (Just kidding....)

Is this a pusher canard ?

I think it's the time a C337 went up the back of a Bleriot mid channel...

I myself am more interested in the stories behind the airfields, aircraft, especially if someone has visited or flown it themselves
Slb, I agree. When a challenge of mine has been guessed, I always try to add something of interest that is relevant to the challenge.

Certainly a pusher canard. It was an experimental aircraft 1920s. The aircraft has been described a a light aircraft with automatic stabilizer..

Quemerford 11th Nov 2019 10:25

I think we might need another clue...:ok:

Back again. Must stick to the rules.

This aircraft was a glider powered by a motorcycle engine. In 1921 it took part in a competition but did not win anything.

It sure would have been a winning contestant in the Caption competition!
But in grace it loses from the Rohnbuzzard.
I will leave the kill for Quemerford as I found his caption the best.

Quemerford 12th Nov 2019 05:35

No go ahead - I'm at a loss...

Self loading bear 12th Nov 2019 15:03

1921 glider competition
2nd result Budig glider which took part in the famous German Rohn glider competition.
I found that it was only in 1923 that it was fitted with the motorcycle engine.

OH when found to be correct
I hope Quemerford will fill the gap?
