Thnak you Kevin

How about this little fellow getting juiced up for the next trip.
Note the tweedy gentleman on the right having a quiet fag..... let's hope the wind is in the right direction..

[pomme homme]

That tail fin and rudder looks very Caudronesque.

[lefty]

Indeed, Mike, but it's not a Caudron. Small production run of 30 of these machines. I have been kind enough to leave a small clue.

[pomme homme]

The only other machine that immediately comes to mind, with a similar tail fin and rudder, is the pre-war version of the Leopoldoff L.3 - however the wing struts don't seem to be right for that. But then, I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, countrywise. I wish that I could read the faint script on the vertical tail surfaces!

[lefty]

If you look closely enough on the rudder, Mike, you will see a faint 'L-3'. I only removed the reg, F-ANRX, which is the prototype Léopoldoff Colibri. Well worked out - over to France

Would you be kind enough to explain why most references, including AviaFrance, spell it Leopoldoff- my photo is from a French publication, L'Aviation Civile Française, which insists on the acute. Is it optional ?
