    Indeed, you got her, Carlo.

    It is the Laird Sesquiwing

    I have problems in downloading image (don't know why)…..anyway if you copy above code then go back to internet and paste it you'll be able to see it (I tried to go over to "tiny pic" but they are just closing up the site and another chap wants ten dollars monthly for image housing...crazy!)..Sorry for the small problem guys!

    Thanks Carlo.

    Here is one making the most out of one engine.

    It is the 1911 Savary (with no designation). Handed over to the military for trials, it apparently flew well despite not having a rear rudder for stability.

    For Chris

    Nice little parasol

    Looks like the Wibault 260.

    Ok, here's an easy one.

    Hope it will be solved within the next 12 hours since I'll have to help my daughter to move to another flat over the weekend.

    One of the Salmson Cri-Cri variants? If so, probably one of the basic D.6s as I'm not aware of any of the others seeing military service. And is that a Potez 60 Sauterelle behind it?

  18. #19843
    Yes and yes, Mike, a Salmson D.6 and a Potez Sauterelle.

    Here is the whole story about that picture.
    Since I'm no native French speaker and don't understand the caption completely could you be so kind and translate the caption for us, Mike?

  19. #19844
    Thank you, Robert. To your very good health!

    My french is not fluent (if only, but even after living in the country for some seventeen years, at my age I doubt that it now will get materially better). The gist of the caption is that the Salmson D6 T2 (construction number 251) will be constructed by the firm SFAN at Issy les Molineaux in 1937 [the use of the future tense does not make much sense to me in context, but that's probably because I'm not a native french speaker]. The [registration] letters F-ARFA adorn the machine that will open [will be the first in the fleet of] the Lucien Boussoutrot Flying Club until requisitioned by the Air Force which will allocate to it the military [serial] number W634. Taken in 1940, this very interesting view also shows a Potez 600 'in uniform'. I hope that this is helpful.

    I will post the next 'challenge' later today.

  20. #19845
    Many thanks for your effort, Mike, that definitely helps!

  21. #19846
    My pleasure, Robert.

    Now here's something that wasn't exactly 'mainstream'.


  22. #19847
    Good morning Gents. Looks like it's oddball time!


    Hope I get it right...this is the Rouge Elytroplan BL-10 circa 1937?

  23. #19848
    Ah, French aircraft designations. Where is lefty when you expect input on the subject!

    I think, Kevin, that there may be two separate elytroplans in the identification that you've given. That illustrated is not a de Rougé elytroplan. His predecessor to that illustrated was the 1935 Pollopas. However de Rougé collaborated with Messrs. Lantrès and Bouffort in the production of the Lantrès-Bouffort BL.10 which, I think that I've read, was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War. That is the aircraft whose photograph I posted, which was the predecessor to the better known post-war BL.20. But to cut to the chase, if you didn't give the precisely correct designation you were within a hairsbreadth of it and thus it would be churlish for me to say other than - over to Texas.

    Oh, and if anyone else is interested in the elytroplan concept I'd thoroughly recommend reading the posts on the subject at http://aviation-ancienne.forumactif....es-elytroplans.

  24. #19849
    Thanks Mike. Sorry for my ham fisted effort there. I was reeling a bit earlier trying to get the designation correct. I guess if you throw enough darts at the board, you will hit the center sooner or later!


    With our floater fanatic away on holiday, going to slip one in here and see where it goes.

    The designer built and flew several aircraft. This was his 5th effort.
