Construction of the aircraft started in September 1966. First flight was in September 1967. The aircraft was used until 1975 and then donated to a helicopter museum where it is still on display.

Thanks gX. Not too many v-tail autogyros out there.
One from the grain archives. How about this ungainly trainer?
Happy New Year to all. Stay safe and healthy!
From a somewhat obscure design outfit. They built several wildly different aircraft starting in 1905 but seemed to have faded by the late 1920's. This trainer showed up circa 1923.
Don't ask me why - because I don't know - but it looks Spanish to me.
Not Spanish Mike but it does hail from Western Europe.
Well, I suppose when I question myself, I find myself answering - Hispano Suiza. Maybe I've had a surfeit of new year's day intuition. Maybe 2nd January will bring a new ray of light!
Looks very Nieuporty - apart from that ghastly front end !
It's not French either. The designers are best known for a large twin hull flying boat and a diminutive triplane.
In which case it has to be the Ricci R.7 ?
It is indeed the R.7. Not very aerodynamic!
Thanks Kevin - needed the clues !
Here's something for you laddies that's definitely no' wee - no, this yin's muckle........
The Schneider Henri-Paul S.3, perhaps?

Secondly I wonder whether you could hand out a bit more infos on the Ricci R7: whereas I could find plenty of infos on their midget triplane Ricci R6 (and also on their large floater) nothing seems to be available on the net concerning the R7...
Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers

Well, let’s try this

This is all I could find on Ricci R.7
The “RICCI 7” was tested by DE LORETO at CAPODICHINO (Naples). The following year the “RICCI 7 BIS” was derived with different airframe. Piloted by PIS- TONE, this second aircraft partecipated to the COPPA ITALIA at CENTOCELLE.

Next up floater.
Attached is where I lifted the R.7 side view from. For native Italians only...not sure if there are any nuggets there.
Thanks very much Moses for your efforts as a result I dug up some interesting information concerning Aircraft manufacturers in Southern Italy and particularly concerning "Fratelli Ricci" ("Ricci Bros") who were foresighted entrepreneurs who went as far as planning a giant transatlantic floater....in typical neapolitan fashion their concerns changed name rather frequently therefore the "Triplano Ricci R6" (probably their best known creation) was manufactured at Industrie Aviatorie Meridionali in the early twenties and reproposed in a modernized version in 1932 but by this time the manufacturer was a "Società Bacini e Scali" (still in Naples and still belonging to Fratelli Ricci). Finally from the clipping you sent me it appears that the R-7 was a 1923 creation built at "Officine e Cantieri di Napoli" ....thanks again!
Cheers

Back to the actual floater. Did it set sail in the Mediterranean?
