[Varese2002]

Bruno, that is right on the mark. You have the honour to present Challenge # 437.

The Ponnier L1 Type Cavalerie was a very small single seater with a 50 hp Gnôme. It was probably intended to fit a 80 hp Gnôme but if it ever was fitted is doubtful.

Empty weight was an unbelievable 260 kg. The span is given even smaller in Opdycke (8 meter for the top wing and 7,2 meter for yhe lower wing).

I refrained from the side view for obvious reasons.

If there are mdel builders who will have a shot at this plane, there is a 3-view drawing in Flight 1914.

Previous challenges: Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918* -http://www.earlyaviator.com/br.challenge/

The rules :

The thread title must be "Breguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"
The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning and end of each thread so that we know where we are.
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.
The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified
(always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !)
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.
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.
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.
The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.
