Penultimate piece! This one will answer Dave's question.

My question is - has anyone tried to put it together yet and want to offer their efforts?

Rufe · 2 July 2009, 05:03 PM

Here is my attempt...

Breguet · 2 July 2009, 06:37 PM

Well done Rufe - I'll see you get something in your Christmas stocking!

Breguet · 2 July 2009, 11:32 PM

OK, In lieu of the last piece here is the whole un-edited picture.

Flamingo · 2 July 2009, 11:37 PM

Now it is clear:

either a Bresin or a Voiman or a Farguet!

Or maybe even a De Otters?

So weird. The rudder is very much the shape of the Farman F.40, and the triangular kingpost on the tail also fits, but the front of the aircraft is more like a Breguet or Voisin. Did we actually rule out Breguet as the manufacturer, Breguet?

Hello,

It seams that nobody knows this plane.

Perhaps, because of great similarity to Farman’s designs this is Morane-Saulnier seaplane prepared for Monaco rally in 1912, fitted with regular undercarriage.

Marek, sure we are in the Breguet Challenge for the period 1914 - 1918, according to rule 3

Quote:

3. 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 machine has been masterly sought out by Breguet for a unqiue #600, which baffles all experts certainly. I have the idea (just that), that the machine may originate from the USA

Cheers
