    And the Shakespeare reference ??

  2. #24602
    I like to deliver a curve ball once in a while, Kevin - - but your belief is not misplaced, it is the Jezzi Nº 2. Over to you!

  3. #24603
    Shakespeare was partial to the sesquiplane layout.


    Onward with a moody floater of size.

    The reclusive Hanriot H-38.

  5. #24605
    Hanriot it is.


    "The exact date of the first flight of the Hanriot H.38 is not known but had flown many times before mid-March 1926. It continued to fly for another ten months until, after alighting on the Marne at Bezons, it was caught by the current, capsized and lost after hitting the pier of a bridge. Neither Marcel Haegelan, Hanriot's chief test pilot, nor the flight engineer Quero were serioudly injured".

    Equally moody, and of much bigger size....

    I thought this might have been sorted by now. Militarised version of a civilian transport. 4x720hp Hispano-Suizas.

    Missed your post yesterday - or I wasn't paying attention

    I'd be thinking it's the Liore-et-Olivier LeO H-246 #3

    Well Rob you are getting the beer !

    However, the question of which actual model this will take us back into murky waters! I have it as the 246-04 F-AREK(Aeronefs de l'Aviation Maritime) but also as the 246-05 F-AREL (Lioré et Olivier)

    I'm sure Mike will set us right - in the meantime, over to Canada !

    A couple of sources I have seen hold to the point that it was the 3rd production airframe (with the prototype upgraded to the production standard), thus it could likely have been calculated as #04. Who Knows?

    As Halloween approaches, it is fairly a time for horrors, and I think this one truly qualifies!
    If you have continuing nightmares after seeing this, I'll give you the number of my therapist.

    Our local farmer uses something similar for harvesting turnips....

    The fanciful Vedovelli Multiplane of 1910.

    Shown here scraping along, struggling to get airborne on a chilly November morning.


  13. #24613
    You've missed the best image, perhaps the final frame, of which it might be said ..... Cymbeline Act IV Scene II lines 262/263.

    Apparently not such a struggle for Moses

    What does Halloween in Texas look like?

    Well the kids have finally outgrown trick or treating as my youngest turned 12 earlier this month and said he was done with it.

    If the Vedovelli ever had sustained flight for any length of time it looks like it would have been nearly completely uncontrollable! (Maybe why the pile of scrap).


    Here is a contemporary of the Vedovelli but with an interesting engineering feat (or two) for the time.


  16. #24616
    That, I believe, is John Moisant's 1909 l'Ecrivisse - with corrugated wings!

  17. #24617
    An American in Paris, it sure is.

    Listed as the first all metal airplane. Non-fatal crash after gaining about 90' in height. Note the prop mounted behind the radial. Unusual that.

  18. #24618
    Thank you, Kevin. My apologies for the slight delay in responding. Let's try this minimalist aeroplane from the early days of powered flight.


  19. #24619
    Paul Kaufmann's No.1 of 1909.

    It wasn't a flyer.

  20. #24620
    Argh! I should have read on in Opdycke. He didn't fly until he got to Nº 3. Oh well, I'll leave it to you, Kevin, to come up with something that did slip the surly bonds with terra firma!

  21. #24621
    No worries Mike. I think with a lot of these early birds, we can look the other way sometimes on the airworthyness.

    See what I can scare up...

  22. #24622
    Here is a mysterious twin...

    China...ooof.

    I had it as the Zhongyun 1/C-0101 transport. I have also seen it listed as the Chung Yun 1. To further muddy the water it might have been built at the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory circa 1936.

    I have not found reference to Nanyuan 1/2 anywhere but maybe it is another way to spell it.

  25. #24625
    This is the pix I have of it. Seems to be the same. I found in the Chinese Encyclopedia as my source.
    OH if OK as I'm in Vienna on vacation.
