Well, I hope this hasn't appeared before. Google suggests not. And I apologise for the quality of the picture. This is how it came.

Hello pomme-homme!
In my humble opinion this is a french prototype of the late twenties but more than that I can't say....though on second thought I might opt for a Bodiansky 20....
Cheers

I'm sure BG is correct, and I haven't seen that photo before - much better view of the vertical tail surfaces than most others.

There is a connection between the Bodiansky and the very similar Poite 3 -the Poite company , who specialised in sheet metal welding, built both fuselages ! The Bodiansky's wooden wings were made by Letord.
 
Indeed he is. His second thought served him well!

I thought that I might beguile you for a while as most of the images of the Bodiansky 20 seem to be nose on and tail high. But with the breadth and depth of knowledge here, what hopes!

Over to you, BG.
 
Thanks Pomme-homme!
No Lefty I don't know what happened to the Bodiansky 19....can you tell me?
Here's my next easy mystery for a relaxed week end....
Cheers

Your wee chopper - looks like the SNCASO SO.1110 Ariel? Seems to be a few models made and I can't quite match yours yet...
 
Wee Chopper Update

Found the same photo Lefty - called the Sud-Ouest SO 1100 "with tailboom". However, they've named it Anel I. I'm guessing the person responsible is hyperopic and thought the "r" and "i" looked like an "n".

Or there really could be a Sud-Ouest SO 1100 Anel I in Google Land somewhere....? :untroubled:

No, it's definitely Ariel 1, G ! Just what I'm sure is a wee typo, though, it's the Sud-Ouest 1110, not 1100....... Over to you - :icon29:
 
To make it 3 in a row. A small co-axial heli that has been around for a couple of years.

Hi Mr. Green :very_drunk:
That is the one. Understand development started by Kumerton Design Bureau (linked to Kamov. hence the rotor system) as Rotorfly and later renamed as RI-30 Eagle when Russsian/German j/v named Rotor International continued.

Your turn, please!
