Looks like a motor glider again (with nobody flying it) !

I've just realised I have seen it before somewhere, and I no longer think it's a powered glider.

Sayers-Handley Page monoplane.

I think you're right.
How come you've become New Here on 1 post having joined two years ago and posted several times today, let alone the previous years?

dook you have it. it is indeed the Handley Page-Sayers HP22 powered glider at the 1923 contest.

I seem to be back.

Gentlemen,

I shall be with you as soon as I have sufficient post approved.

I do not know what is going on.

See Self loading bear's comment about dook's absence on the What Cockpit thread.

I am still hoping my post count will soon be sufficient.

I guess we better call it open house

MReyn gave me control with the HP22.

Appropriately I call OH for anyone not in the UK.

Put me out of my misery - what is this thing ?

Macchi MB.320.

Apparently written off in 1962. Assume that's Nairobi Wilson. Edit: yep! One of three supplied to East African Airways.

Thanks heaps

Pleasure. Er, open house for next pic...

What about this ...

Good angle which nicely masks the pusher prop. :)

Good evening Nick1,

Welcome to the thread :ok:

I believe your challenge is the Stabilimento Costruzioni Aeronautiche (SCA) SS.2 Light aircraft ??

Good evening , yes it is Ambrosini (Sergio Stefanutti designer ) SS2 1935 ...
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?

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.

How's this then?

The SNAC NC 1080 perhaps?

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

Not sure what happened. However here is the next one:-

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...

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

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.

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