    I think this is the d'Artois Hydravion of 1913 that pilot Louis Gaudart lost his life in.

    It is indeed - a tragic end in the sunlit waters off Monaco..

    Thanks Mike.

    Here is an easy one. Something more my liking.

    It smells rather Burnellish.
    UB-14 or UB-20 ?

  5. #13055
    Nice thought Dan but this one is not American. Two Anzani engines up front...

    An interesting quirk to this machine is that the prop arcs overlapped. The designer wanted the thrust to be as close to the center line as possible.

    It's our old chum Louis de Monge again - master of the bizarre. This is the Buscaylet-de Monge 7.3 -really quite a wee machine ,as this superbly grainy side view shows !

    You got it Mike. The 7.3 it is.

    What scant information I have found, it actually flew pretty well! Test flights circa November 1923.

    Thank you -here's a flying pic - September 1923 - Alexis Maneyrol pilot.


    It is very difficult to keep you chaps puzzled - so here's another easy one - don't think it has been here before - a nice twin.

    I would have leapt in with great joy Lefty as I knew all of them but I was pretty much tied up as my son is getting married! Besides I think we should all be indebted to you gentlemen for the very nice and rare pics of the De Monge (master of the unusual but a great personality).
    Cheers

    Hello boys and girls!
    I think this is a Curtiss-Wright CW-C-14R "Osprey" produced for Venezuela.....unless of course I am totally wrong!
    Cheers

    BG, I regret that you are indeed 'totally wrong'. There is indeed a strong resemblance to the Curtiss-Wright machine, but this is an entirely different design. It is also European.

    Unless Wout knows this one I think it will remain unsolved. (Paging Wout...Wout, please come in).

    Too many of these new "curvy" low wing light planes for me to get a grip on.

    The prototype (ZU-TAF) of the Sling 4, a homebuilt from South Africa by The Airplane Factory. This 4-seater is increasingly becoming popular, not only in her native country. Available as kitplane. All-metal and Rotax 912/914 engine.
    This particular aircraft made some long distance flights in 2011 including one from Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town (6,22km covered in some 27 hours).
