The rules:
1. The thread title must be "Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge #......"
2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.
3. The completed aircraft must have been either; designed, built or have left the ground during the '14-'18 period and be identifiable by the poster.
4. The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
5. Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified (always check the list at Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's -Aircraft Challenge* -- when in doubt !) and the poster re-post within the same thread, the 12hours handicap beginning from that point.
6. If there is any doubt as to the eligibility of an aircraft for the challenge details should be PM'd to Breguet BEFORE the aircraft is submitted.
7. Once someone has got 5 correct answers under their belt they become an ACE. Once they become an ACE they must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer.
8. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
9. The first person to ID the challenge correctly gets to post the next challenge. If this can not be done for any reason Breguet himself will post the next challenge.
10. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next one. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
11. The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules is BREGUET

[Rbailey]

[Dave_Kent]

Based on the markings and the splayed N struts, this is the Bristol Scout F.

Not a surprise to see the 3 of us circling around. Ron had the twitch today. It's often me.

Not necessarily 'the twitch' see the recent problems over on the crash files! We may have to rely on his word as an officer and a gentleman!

[Tork1945]

Interested in the correct meaning of twitch I found out that it had many meanings, but it could mean best in this context as

A twitch is a device that is used to restrain horses for various stressful situations, such as veterinary treatment. It is usually made up of a stick-like handle loop of chain or rope on the end, or a metal ring with a rope loop which is wrapped around the upper lip of the horse and tightened. Another design, sometimes called a "humane" twitch, is a plier-like clamp that squeezes the lip with motion akin to that seen in a nutcracker. The aluminium screw twitch is yet another form of twitch.

There is not much luck with the Bristol Scout F - on the picture is shown the very first machine with serial B3989. On the pre-checking in the Breguet Challenge list I found to my surprise that the Bristol Scout F.1 development (serial B3391) was presented twice (!).

To my surprise both challenges were given by Mr. Breguet the first on November 5, 2006 and the second on May 6, 2011 almost five years later ....

I will finish this challenge and handle back the work to Mr. Rbailey.

Correct identification for Challenge #955

Bristol Scout F first machine built serial B2989.

Scores are unaltered.

Mr. Rbailey will post an easy one, so that all runners can compete before the 12 hour stampede.
