How would the wing spar arrangement have worked?

Dassault Méditerranée?

Probably too easy for you all. My first effort.

Nice effort!
Definitely an interesting airplane!

Used to see this being test-flown and can tell you what it is, but have nothing to post so I'll leave it to the others . . .

Nice one kildress; in later config with different engines top and bottom I think.

Short on looks.

Yes, RR Avon RA.3 on top and DH Gyron DGy.2 below.

Well it was nice while it lasted. :ok:

Darn. I've been out all day, and this was the first one I knew the answer to!!

Quemerford 4th Jan 2020 19:51

OK how about this one: characterised by an unusual engine...

Jeez, that looks like it's been milled from a solid chunk of granite...

Quemford's challenge looks like a scaled-up tin-plate clockwork toy. ;)

Judging by the size of that prop, I bet it was a noisy bugger! I also note that it appears to have dual-pitot heads.

Looking at the cowling, does it have an inverted inline-six?

Close..... :)

Close...Would it be French with an inverted air-cooled V12?

The Dassault flight deck is distinctive, but even so a moment’s work blacking out that placard would have been helpful.

Then I apologize for that.
I agree leaving a makers name, logo or registration number in the photo can make challenges quite easy, but then I personally do not react.

I was the guilty party regarding the Dassault’s placard which I’d failed to notice or recognise its significance. Sorry!

I did blackout the reg on the Conestoga though.:)

To me, it has got a “Mooney look” to it. Then again, I might be wildly out !

Apologies for the tardy reply. No, not French and not a Mooney. It is a 12, but not a vee....
