Answer: the Ezekiel Airship, circa 1901-1902

Aquilius posted the first correct answer, but he did so before the 12:00 hour limit was up, but only just. After a close, intent, reading of rule 12, I think I still need to adher to it, despite the rule not really dealing with a situation of where an answer is posted just marginally before the cut-off time.

So no points to Aquilius, but he does the get honour of posting the next Challenge.

(This is the first time I've encountered this situation, so if anyone wants to ask Breguet if this is a fair application of rule 12, feel free to do so.)
