• 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 glider is a modified Arsenal SA.103 with four SNECMA Escopette pulsejets tested in 1950.

... and the right plane in the background is a SIPA 111.

You get the beer, gX,:icon29: although your customary accuracy has slipped a tad - this was a modified SA 104, not 103 (longer fuselage, etc).

Naturally, being French, there exists a multitude of designations - let's call it the SNECMA/Minie-Arsenal Emouchet - in this case subtitled Escopette - here are the undisguised pics for those who like them....

It was hard to tell the difference between XB-28 and XB-28A as one had NAA turrets and the other GE turrets.

and now for your viewing pleasure.
