Breguet's Aircraft Challenge # 462

This little flying boat shouldn't be a problem.

Breguet's Aircraft ID Challenge Records: Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918 - Breguet's Aircraft 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.
To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
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.

This the Lohner Type Z Seeflugzeug. Although this is a very small (one-bay wing !) there was room in the front for a pilot and an observer. Typical of the machine is the inline engine (here a Mercedes 100 hp), where in a lot of other Austro-hungarian machines a rotary was used.

The original picture shows the beautiful Marine marking of Austro-hungary on the rudder (carefully wiped away by Rbailey). Probably only one built.

Cheers

Kees

Kees has it again. The Lohner type Z was a one-off, 1916 machine, span 10 m, length 8.2 m, speed 135 km/hr. Actually, quite a few Lohner and other Austrian flying boat types had in-line engines, but the neat single bay construction is distinctive.
