Breguet's aircraft challenge #357

[Rbailey]

You have it Bruno. It is the Spanish Hedilla monococque II, which actually made its important flights in 1916. Its specifications are given here, which is not the same page as you give.
Fundació Parc Aeronŕutic de Catalunya

I was surpised to find it on a number of other sites, so it is fairly well known, at least in Spain.

I haven't found the monocoque I, if there was one.

Look at precedent breguet's challenge here:Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918 - Breguet's Aircraft Challenge --

"The Rules" - The small print -

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).

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.

The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

Monocoque Hedilla II, el primer avión fabricado en Barcelona por el propio aviador montańés con el que el 5 de julio de 1916 completó en dos horas y 16 minutos el primer vuelo entre Barcelona y Palma de Mallorca

That's what I found following Bruno's link and digging a little deeper.

First a/c built in Barcelona, Salvador Hedilla Pineda flew on the 5th of july 1916 from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca in 2 hours 16 minutes
