Dear Community

1.) Loire-Nieuport LN.401-LV.402-LN.411

Does anybody have a real cockpit picture?

2.) What is that ?

I can answer No.2 for you;

SEPTUM NC 2501.2 HIGH-ALTITUDE BOMBER


During the middle Thirties, the French Armde de I'Airdetermined that a high-altitude bomber was needed to offset the ominous growth of the Luftwaffe's strategic capabilities. Designed by winemaker Maurice Lebouge and built by the Avions Septum aircraft cartel, the NC 2501.2 was powered by a pair of nine-cylinder, in-tine Gnome-Rhome Petite engines that developed 165 hp at the aircraft's intended operating altitude of 19,400 feet. Unfortunately, the Petites were not powerful enough to lift the NC 2501.2 to that height, forcing it to fly at a more prudent 5600 feet. Bomb load was limited by the necessity of carrying a committee of bombardiers -four in number- who voted on the proper time to drop their death-dealing cargo. This system was employed because all necessary optics for bombsights were being used at the time for land-based artillery sighting systems on the Maginot line, where France chose to make her first (and, as it turned out, her last) gallant stand against the Hun. A total of II NC 2501.2s were built, although none were completed in time to see action before the republic was forced to surrender. However, the Germans evaluated one on the recommendation of the Vichy government. After it crashed, Lebouge, facing a firing squad, said defiantly, "We are lovers, not engineers!"

But then I just thought I'd see if anyone took this seriously (just for a moment...) !
