The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I try to go easy on the floaters - not everyone is obsessed by them !
This has been here before and was not easily recognised......

Very similar indeed, mike, but it is not the Aubert (which had a one-piece windscreen, amongst other things)

Actually Uli got it last time -more recently than I had thought ! It is French, of course, but hailed from a location a bit closer to you than the Aubert ! Halfway, actually.......
 
Hmm, that presumably puts the location somewhere around Blois. I've failed to find an aircraft manufacturer in that region that produced a high cantilever wing monoplane. Evidently Uli succeeded where I have failed. I look forward to his second reveal.
 
I think it is one of those French Acronym jobs. I have it on another computer I can check later if no one reveals.
 
He's lying low ! It's The SCAM. C-50, F-WEAI, from the Societé de Constructions Aéronautiques du Maine in Pont-de-Braye (Sarthe)
Not much more information, I'm afraid. The French love of acronyms may not have been appropriate in this day and age......:mixed-smiley-010:
 
Just to obfuscate the issue, it appears that F-WEAI was allocated to the second Millet-Lagarde ML.10, which was constructed by SCAM, allocated the designation SCAM C50 and given the name Milane II. It was a Nénadovitch style four place cabin pusher biplane - and couldn't look less like Mike's aeroplane if it tried!

It's a shame that Walter is not still with us because back in 2014 he had a photograph depicting Mike's aeroplane carrying the registration F-WEAI and, on its tail, the legend 'SCAM C-50 01' (q.v. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/nenadovich-type-biplane-aircraft-and-projects.19106/). It is also said that F-WEAI was carried by a Nord 2000 glider and a Super Guppy.

Yes, I know what you're saying. Only in France ..... !
 
This, Mike, is where Walter got that photo.

Don't know what the French equivalent of 'can of worms' is.... ?

Anyway, Open House, please, let's have something interesting. :playful:

Interesting, yes.:biggrin-new:

Thanks, Kevin. At first I was convinced that this bipe must be American...

Here is my new mystery, a clue in advance: this is a European one-off.

This type is scarcely documented, there seem to be only 3 pictures and a 3-view of it, however, it is from a well-known company.
First flight in the mid-1920ies.
 
Well done, Mike, it is the Breda. :encouragement:

I find it quite astonishing that this type which seems to have flown for several years is so bad documented and so few photos are known.

Over to Scotland. :icon29:
