Previous challenges while Rod is working on his website are to find here:
Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --
(members.shaw.ca/flyingaces/br.challenge/index.htm)

Quote:
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




Have a good hunt!

Dave is right. This is the Bristol SSA. Designed at Filton by Henry Coanda. This was designed at the request of the French, for production in France by the Breguet Corporation. SSA meant Single Seat Armoured. It had armoured protection for the pilot, engine, and fuel tank. 80 hp Clerget Rotary engine. First flown 8 May 1918. Severely damaged in a crash on 26 June, it was nevertheless accepted by the French on delivery at the Breguet Factory, where it was to be rebuilt. Ref: Francis K. Mason, "The British Fighter since 1912". Doc

You are right guys!
That is the Bristol SSA, built as an armoured version of the Scout designed by Henri Marie Coandă.

Dave was first but Doc came with a more detailed story, especially he deciphered the SSA code (single seat armoured) as it was questioned.

Scores are 0.8 for Dave and 0.2 for Doc.
Next challenge goes to Dave of course!
