a guess is it the Donnet-Denhaut BD22HB3?
Chris
Not a DD build Chris. Don't have the exact date but I think was tested around 1929. Apparently it was not accepted by the Navy.
I had this as the Latham 49. The last design before they merged into another firm.
Not much information about it.
Open board then-
Kevin
any other info with the pix you found on the Latham 49.
Chris
Have not found any other photos. The tiny bit of info came from another forum, I think over at Secret Projects.
In response to the open board invitation, here's something a little lighter than the Latham. I rather doubt that it will last long.

SFAN 4 :france: Motor - glider
That's the girl, SC. The penultimate emanation of Lowe-Wylde's BAC gliders. Over to you.
Thanks ! How's this for a neat Sports plane ?
That would be the British Aircraft Cupid of 1935.
Now has anyone related the tale of the aerobatic version of this aeroplane, the BA Cupid Stunt, and its pilot who suffered from Spoonerism..... ! :biggrin-new:
Thanks Jim.
Onward with a floater.

The floater first appeared as a land plane and was then converted. Tested in this configuration around 1915.
This early sport plane performed well by all accounts on a 30hp engine. Later crashed on Long Island, NY without injury to the pilot.
There is a photo of the land plane version at Aerofiles.
Maybe the Robinson from 1915?
It is the Robinson (actually designated the F-13).
Over to Robert.:icon29:
Thanks, Kevin, that was a tricky one! :bee:
Here's another little floater, let's see how long it will last.
Ah, the delightful little pre-war Dutch De Schelde Scheldemeeuw!
Indeed, Mike, it is the Scheldemeeuw. :encouragement:
Thought that the view from the side and the brilliance of the picture might puzzle you a bit :very_drunk:
Over to France, please. :icon29:
Thank you, Robert. If I may be given a little time, I'll try to come up with something interesting tomorrow. I regret to say that I've nothing immediately on the stocks.
Here's the next offering. I don't think that it's been used before.

Very true, Uli!
