And in the meantime, un avion déshabillé - which shouldn't tax you lot for long!

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.

I'd rather guess that's an E-5.
There is quite a distance between wing and top of the fuselage.

What's the aerodrome?
Dunno Mike. Thought you might have that info.
BTW- I know the designer of your skeletal tricycle gear biplane but not the designation. Will see if someone else has the goods as I don't know enough about it.

I guess Jacques' avion had the same designation/name as the successor with conventional gear...

Curiously he had the same surname as my neighbour.

Come on, gentlemen. At least two of you know what it is but apparently are being coy. Please reveal or I'll do so and throw the door open.

Skeletal or not, Keith, those wings must give it away!

The cigar's yours, Kevin. It is the original Gérin Varivol in the course of construction. These photographs appeared in Les Ailes of 2 November 1933. I'm also of the opinion that this aeroplane 'evolved' in the course of construction. The 1933 photograph suggests that its construction was then well advanced but it didn't make its first flight until March 1936 - considerably more than two years later - and, even allowing for the fact that the posted images show it naked, later photographs of it, when fully clothed, suggest significant differences by the end of its construction. Anyhow, over to you, sir.
