The rules

1. The thread title must be "Bréguet'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
6. (always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !)
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

No wings but ... sea-skimming ... remarcable place, too

Dave_Kent · 1 June 2009, 03:52 PM

Have I opened Pandora's Box?

Varese2002 · 1 June 2009, 11:30 PM

Probably you are right, but what a beauty of a box

Looking at those floats I take it the picture has been heavily retouched?

As for the "rule streching" I thought that peguins were sometimes made to hop (usually by large bumps on the field) by over enthusiastic students. This happened to one of the Australian "taxi" Deperdussins with disasterous consequences. So I allowed it. As to a plane totally without wings I suppose it may have been "craned" into the water and thereby have technically 'left the ground' however such thin ice may have to be broken.

(Though I'll allow this one to continue no rules of precedent will follow ie NO MORE)

Rbailey · 2 June 2009, 05:09 AM

Looks like the Fabre trainer from no wings and rudder structure - a "glisseur",

Varese2002 · 2 June 2009, 08:46 AM

The answer is not sufficient to get a full point

There is an obvious fault in it and the purpose of the machine is not correctly stated. As I am in a good mood, I will do 0.5 point to the contestant who identifies the city and who knows what the machine was doing there .....

It looks like Monaco, on a photo about the Schneider races there seems to be the same building with the two towers, and I would say water handling trials which were part of the competition

Froggy · 2 June 2009, 10:43 AM

Bonsoir

Flamingo is right the building with txo towers is the Casino of Monte Carlo

Exactly Monaco, but not water handling trials
