• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Conceived of in 1927. Constructed and tested in late 1928. Languishing in the corner of an aerodrome in 1929.

From a well documented stable.
 
This aircraft is a modified military aircraft that was prepared for a famous Air Cup in another country. Unfortunately, I cannot say how it performed there.
 
Found this as well, answering Uli's question as to how it performed in the Gordon-Bennett. It didn't !

The French team had been chosen in an eliminating trial on Sunday, when the three pilots mentioned above were selected. Barault, on a Borel-Hispano, would probably have secured the third place if he had only flown the course as it was arranged.

From the many different aircraft types of this manufacturer only four were biplanes, two of which remained prototypes and one (not this one) was built in large numbers.
