The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

You got it Uli.:guinness:


There is information around the net on it along with a wiki page.

It's in Aerofiles under "Montijo".
 
That, Jim, is the Model 220, built in France but designed by a Romanian with the splendid title of Romulus Bratu. A lot of work for a one-off..
 
Of necessity, very quiet, Jim. But we did have the haggis, neeps,tatties,etc, washed down with a dram or two..
I missed out the Address to the Haggis (normally my party piece) because it seemed a bit silly with an audience of one ! Let's hope we are back to normal next year.

Here's a rather nice floater with an unusual float arrangement -

Wonderful thing, haggis. It wasn't called great chieftan o the puddin'-race for nothing. Here, last night we had the best haggis in France - made by my wife to her own recipe from the offal that came from the hoggets we slaughtered last week!
 
My brother in his Rhode Island cheffing days was asked to prepare a Burns Supper for the gentlemen of the Newport Literary Society. He managed to obtain haggis from a butcher in Boston, but was advised that a small spoonful per portion was sufficient ! Those lovely old duffers had gone all Scottish, and re-named the wine list for the evening. The red to accompany the venison was christened 'Chateau Gorbals'. Get a Scot to explain that to you !

I have long been aware that offal is a no-no in the U.S.A - they are missing some of the tastiest food around, as I think Mike will agree ! (You can't even get a decent sausage over there...)

Anyway, you are all tap-dancing around my floater, which is of course (West) European and has a 300 hp Renault motor. Lewis gun and bombs....:jump:
 
Damn :banghead:

I did realize that there was a similarity to other Schmitt-types but missed to ask if that was only a coincindence or whether I should follow this track.

That was a tough nut, Mike :encouragement:
Nearly no evidence at all about the Type X in the net.

Let's close the door of the open house with this more modern type (the aircraft in the foreground, please :very_drunk:)

Are you relating to the high-winged aircraft?

I was asking for the taildragger in the foreground (which is much better known when equipped with a tricycle gear :very_drunk:)
 
I sure do miss Walter and his ability to quickly pick off these types! The nose looks vaguely familiar but it is way out of my comfort zone.

Anyone else?
