The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

G-AEOG, the Hordern-Richmond Autoplane.

Yes, yes, yes.

[lefty]

A wee jet for a change...(not a homebuild )

[Moses03]

This of course is the Caproni C-22J.

[lefty]

Of course it is. . (Well, actually, the Caproni-Vizzola C-22J)


Don't think there's anyone else out there, Kevin.........

[Moses03]

Let's try this speedy looking parasol number...

[lefty]

Not the Farman 1001 ?

[Moses03]

Not a Farman...

[DHC2Pilot]

An Amiot one-off?

[Moses03]

Not an Amiot either. The wagons are circling...

[lefty]

But sadly the cavalerie are too late to ride to the rescue.

Potez 28/M.

[Moses03]

for Lefty on the Potez. Over to the lowlands-

[lefty]

It's been nearly a week since we had a nice floater - here's two for the price of one !

[Moses03]

I think the floater in the background is a Levy-Besson Alerte. Not sure on the twin hull job.

[lefty]

The background machine is indeed a Levy-Besson 200 hp - well spotted. According to my very rusty French, 'Alerte' was a sort of rapid-response maritime aviation programme to which several types were designed (FBA, Paul Schmitt, etc). Maybe Yann, Wout or someone could tell us more.

However, surprise surprise, you have hit on the right part of the world. The twin-hull, however, is not in 'that' site........

[Moses03]

Only French twin hull floater I can find from this period is the Labourdette-Halbronn HT-1 & 2.
