Breguet's ID Challenge #600

Don't worry AROTH it's not the sleep in your eyes! The lines should help with joining the bits. At the end of the bits and a bit longer (if no one's got it yet) I'll post the whole photo.

Well, if I’m seeing what I am looking at, which is uncertain at best, I would say that the machine has a 3 or 4 wheel under-cart similar to the Breguet or Voisin designs.

Piece №8 (600-i) gives at least away that this is a biplane with a maze of struts. From the black blots it seems that this is the engine with on top of it a radiator (?) or an oil-tank (?). Although it cannot be seen, the engine might be a rotary with the oil-tank in the neighbourhood. Pusher type with tailbooms, coming together at the rudder, with high lying elevator.

After this another shot. A Vickers F.B. 5.

Piece #10 - only six to go!! OOPS apparently I missed #8 yesterday so here it is as well

Dave, I had the same thoughts yesterday.

It looks like a 3-bay pusher with equal span wings (no oblique struts visible through the wire-net fence ) that did not have additional kingposts and with a low nacelle and a low landing gear of what the rear wheels yet to recognise are placed far behind the leading edge, not like most of the other pushers.

I don't know something that fits.

The Ago/Otto pushers of 1912/1913 did not had this kind of tail,
the Bollekens Nelis-Farman GN.1 resembles a little this picture, only the covered gondola does not seem to match here and the Avro 508 had an additional vertical stabilizer infront of the rudder.

To me it leaves a Farman not built by Farman. Maybe a russian Farman-Voisin mixup - something like Olkhovskij.

Or it's a Voisin accidently fitted with a Farman tail.


edit: is the Farman HF 27 already out of the race?

see 1915 type:

My last idea is the Otto B-type. There was quite some variation within the family and one tailplane could fit:

[Aquilius]

Joachim, maybe this one?



IMO the wheels are too far in front and there are too many tail-boom struts.
But what is the "abnehmbare Kappe" (removable cap)?
