The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Sorry I missed this last night - Kevin has nailed it ! On closer inspection I would say that this is the third prototype F-AIPA
 
Sort of Rob as it lost out to another design.:gameoff:

It seated from 2-5 brave souls but was reported as being underpowered with the clerget motor.
 
I can't find much about it but it looks rather like the 100hp Hanriot-Clerget monoplane that participated in the Concours Militaire des Avions at Reims in October 1911.
 
Thank you for your kind thoughts, Keith. Fortunately we haven't had, in Western France, the torrential rain and floods that have beset Belgium, Holland and Western Germany.
 
:ernaehrung004: You're so close, Uli, that it wouldn't be fair for me to go on. I have it as the Bonnet-Labranche No. 7 monoplane - but it wouldn't surprise me to be told that there are little or no externally visible differences between his later monoplane designs, particularly if they all were Blériot insprired. So over to Germany

May I just say, Uli, having watched the news over the weekend, that I hope you, and Robert and any other of our friends in Europe are safe and have not suffered from the awful flooding ?

Truly terrible pictures...
 
Thanks for your words, Mike.
Fortunately this part of Germany wasn't affected so much, we had lots of rain but our home has kept dry.
This must have been by far the worst catastrophe in Germany after World War 2.
