I think it was solved at post #1101.

Happy to see you back Fauteuil Volant!
With the 24hr rule lifted I hope to see more from you. Fauteuil Volant has correctly identified the Scheldemeeuw built before WWII by the aeroplane department of Naval Shipyard De Schelde. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....22970edd3.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bf58bba74.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....af0f336fb.jpeg |
MReyn gets the bonus rolls for the Caption competition.
|
I don't know about the Netherlands, but with the hoarding of toilet rolls here it is easier and probably cheaper to buy 100 pairs of disposable underpants instead !
|
..... but not this time, SLB, I'm afraid to say. I've nothing immediately to offer so, I fear, that I must say OH. I'll try to do better in future.

As no-one has stepped into the breach and I've had time, this morning, to find another challenge ..... here goes! |

The challenge looks a real oddball.
Is it by any chance French ? |
Yes, it's French.
|
Well it must be a Druine, but the extra bit have me foxed.
|
I can't see a prop, so is it a pusher ?
|
Whilst I can see why you've found similarities with the Turbulent, the limited information that I have gives no indication that this oddity was created out of a Turbulent. The indications are that it was constructed from scratch - oh, and it did fly.
I think that the apparent absence of a propeller is down to the the photograph. As far as I'm aware, it is a tractor. But look closely at the photograph and see what is missing, which you'd expect to find on most fixed wing aircraft. |
All I can see that could be missing are flaps.
|
Is the 24 hour rule lifted? I've been traveling ... :(
|
That's one hell of a speedbrake.
|
More than flaps are missing from the wings. They are aileron free zones! That's why this aeroplane has the 'sticky up thing' emerging from the fuselage aft of its cockpit.
|
I've flown an aircraft with no ailerons but that one takes the biscuit !
|
The 'sticky up thing' - whose technical name is a lateron - replaced ailerons on this 1959 single seater. Its designer had plans to build a two seater version, but these did not come to fruition.
|
Might this be the ARL-11 Baby Squale ?

You can blame my partner for that comment btw - she thought that one up :) |
