Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge #1200

[Rbailey]

It is traditional to post something "special" for centennial challenges. The special part of this machine is that I can't find a clear picture of it, so I have given you a composite. Pity the crash picture is the best. (Maybe I should have saved it for the crashfile challenge.)

Previous: Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -* Breguet's Aircraft Challenge* --

Quote:
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.

[rc.gardner]

Well; it's a puzzle. It has distinctive Bleriot characteristics and has some features of the Bleriot XII; so that's my hesitant guess.

With kind regards,

Bob

[Rbailey]

Bleriot style, but an independent design with some unique features - for example, note the fuselage structure in the crash photo.

By the way, the gentleman pictured is the designer.

[Doc]

How about the Rowell Monoplane of 1910-12?

[rc.gardner]

BREGUET

Could you please adjust my score to its correct level.
After 1196 my score was 2.30.
And after 1197 it reduced to 1.30.

With kind regards,

Bob

[Rbailey]

I can correct the score when (if?) someone gets this challenge. It's not the Rowell, (comes from a long way from England) and it does date from 1914.

[rc.gardner]

Rbailey, Many thanks.

Back to this puzzle you have set us; Wizard Stone; rebuilt Bleriot XII; Australia. (I wonder if he was known as the Wizard of Aus)

With kind regards,

Bob

[Rbailey]

Not Australian - not English speaking at all.

[rc.gardner]

Alas, I concede defeat. I toyed with Dimitri Sensaud de Lavaud but found nothing conclusive. I shall return to stamp collecting.

Bob

[Rbailey]

You are closer than you think (but not real close).
