The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hey gX, that is a Breda Ba.79S.

 

[giruXX]

that's right Sir!

 

[Moses03]

Apologies for the lackluster photo...

 

[Moses03]

Here it is inflight with the unusual empennage conveniently hidden!

 

[Moses03]

This plane took the lives of the pilot and designer unfortunately due to a structural failure. Powered by an Anzani engine.

 

[lefty]

Must be the Dare Not-So-Safety Airplane, then ?

 

[Moses03]

It is Mike. This was the last version with the redesigned cockpit/canopy.

Here is the pilot Brown and Melvin Dare circa July 1929, shortly before the left wing failed.

 

[lefty]

Such a shame the dreamchild let them down...

Don't know about the fate of this one. It is rather square -

 

[giruXX]

That seems to be the French two-seat tourer Delanne 11 F-AJGB named L'Ibis Bleu (The Blue Ibis) which existed form 1929-1933, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delanne_11

It is Mike. This was the last version with the redesigned cockpit/canopy.

Here is the pilot Brown and Melvin Dare circa July 1929, shortly before the left wing failed.

I've got to ask - did Melvin have a brother by the name of Dan?

 

[lefty]

Gx has nailed the Delanne, although it also materialised under another designation, the SCA SFR-10. Maybe some of our French contributors could enlarge on this ?

As for pommehomme's question, I fear that those unfortunates who never read the Eagle won't have a clue what he's talking about !

 

[giruXX]

that's Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future

I found another synonym for the Delanne 11: Moreau JM-10

To continue, you may try this one:

 

[pomme homme]

My wife read that and said that, despite the fact she's never read The Eagle, she's never had a clue what I'm talking about!

Hi giruXX
That looke a lot like one of the the Gazuit-Valladeau GV-1031s of the same family of fame.

 

[giruXX]

Right on the spot, Walter

It's Gazuit-Valladeau GV.1031, F-PSSX

 

[wout]

Since Fred got involved (early/mid 1950s) those ag-planes looked rather similar, except for the colours.
This one is from around 2007

 

[giruXX]

good choice!

(development started in 2004)

The native country produces a very succesful ag-plane, mainly for domestic use and pioneered a special fuel which you also find in

 

[pomme homme]

Ah, then it must be French and is fuelled with eau-de-vie!!
