It looks like one of the new electric planes. Still looking for the extension cord.

Thank you, Kevin. Judging by the posts preceding mine, I suspect that I wasn't the only person to recognise this new fangled Israeli aeroplane.
Now I know that some of you chaps like a floater .....

With being coy all the rage I had to wait for someone to actually put something down that was tangible!

Much, maybe not. Older, oh definitely. French, bien sûr!

I don't think so, Carlo, because the other side seems too close - unless it's in the inlet between Cap de Nice and Cap-Ferrat. Anyhow, I don't have much knowledge of that part of the French Riviera. It's too posh for a peasant like me!

Nope. You'd be wrong, Carlo. There's a 100 hp Hirth tucked behind the upper wing. But I'm with you on the anchor!
But you're all missing the obvious. It's a sesquiplane. What's missing from the trailing edge of the upper wing? What's unusual about the control system? Why does it have features in common with another aeroplane that featured here not that long ago? Thinking caps on, please!

The name of this floater, if translated literally into English and its syllables are then reversed, might sound like a rather posh London borough and a well-known English football team!

No, no, no, you're trying too hard, Mike. Right borough, right football club, but the result is seachel. You've only got to tweak that a little. Think about the French word for the sort of aeroplanes that operate off the sea and then add the chel to that. And if you help yourself by reference to the clue I offered at 21:36 yesterday, you can't help but identify this floater! But if you can't, I'll do so before I turn in tonight.

Argh! No ailerons. Pivoting wing. His Dragon landplane has appeared here before. Cryptic clues don't do anything. I give in. It's the Dalby Hydrochel. Open house!

Right on. I was just about to give a clue.

A prototype has not even flown yet, and they already try to puzzle us.
Any idea when they will decide what kind of landing gear will be chosen?
Any idea if they have considered an engine out situation of one of the wing mounted engines, or are they just concentrating on the wing tip vortices?
