Not much of a flight. Wiki says it may have risen 10 ft off the ground. Yes, pre-1940.

Neither.

post 1919 first flight?

Looks like an Antoinette of some sort. Interesting “rudders” on it.

I had the same thought, but my investigation didn't lead to a likely candidate.

Wiki says 1929.

can't see anything in 1929 that looks like that drawing

That's OK - must be time to end this one. :)

Well done, Noyade. It's not often that someone stumps the PPRuNE cognoscenti. :)

"Scroggs" was I think used in the Roger Bacon column in Flight for many years to denote a generic manufacturer. If'd seen anything in my search I'd have assumed it was referencing a witty joke column.... looking at the challenge I 'd have been right.....................

`Scroggs` used to be a `Mod` on here a few yrs ago....

Bison?

Myasishchev M-4 Molot.

Yes, the Myasishchev 3M Molot Bison B.

Russian?

All these years looking at 'Air Clues' and I never knew the Bison had that configuration of undercarriage maybe copied from the B47?
