Happiness is an aeroplane called ..... ! The same name might have been used for the Percival P.50 had it been produced under licence by SAI!

Oh and I assume that leaving 80% of the registration in the photograph was an unfortunate oversight?

Its certainly a pretty looking kite, but there is probably no info on the cockpit interior or its flying characteristics, unfortunately!
And is the photo reversed or is the 3 view wrong...look at the engine intake!

Apparently Michel Détroyat threw this aeroplane about the sky with some regularity in the late thirties. So it's possible that there may be some information about its handling qualities in his mémoires - Tu Seras Aviateur and Pilote d'Acrobatie - or in his bibliography - Michel Detroyat, Ecuyer du Ciel by Paul Magneron.

Oh my! my eyesight is going from bad to worse to such an extent that I didn't realize leaving behind the registration....therefore I'm sure you know by now that my mysterious Aircraft is a......?

Assuming that my oblique references to Hamlet (the Handley Page, rather than the cigar or the Prince of Denmark, variety) have resulted in the baton passing to me, I thinkest that the decent thing to do is to declare a state of open house - and hope that nothing is rotten in it!

Hello Pomme-homme!
that's definitely the one i.e. Handley Page HP32 "Hamlet".....who's picking up PH's baton?
Cheers

You chaps are all getting very excitable - there was me researching Michel Detroyat flying the HP Hamlet, until I realised you had two simultaneous threads running!

At my age I'm easily confused, you know..........

Anyway, baton picked up - on the subject of trimotors..........

I've been sitting here thinking that the last mystery looks every bit a Dyle et Bacalan/Société Aérienne Bordelaise product but I couldn't find it until I thought laterally. It's the Lorraine Hanriot LH-70 - aka the SAB LH-70!

Good afternoon boys and girls!
This is a Lorraine-Hanriot LH70 of 1932....and for me it's going to be OH as I'll be tied up the Whole day....

Oops.... I didn't realize Pomme-homme got there first!
 
Pomme homme has affirmed his reputation with the Bordelaise L.H 70 'Colonial Monoplane' (what a delightfully decadent appellation!) A pastis for himself.....:very_drunk:
 
Thank you, lefty. And whilst you mention Bordelaise, I'm just about to open a bottle of Château Cissac, to allow it to breath, so if you'd care for a glass ..... ?

This afternoon I came across this photograph of a rather unconventional biplane .....

 
Perfectly correct, Baragouin. Although if André Starck had succeeded in his aim, when first flying the AS.20, it might have had a British roundel on it rather than a swastika and a Balkan Cross!
 
BG most generous of you & thank you for that link, it certainly shows a lot of changes that went on..my previous source of course was Wiki, so limited!
Ok try this then....
Keith
