Previous Breguet's Crash Files

The Rules :

1. All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
2. The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning of each thread, so that we know where we are. The score board and the correct answer to the challenge must also be placed at end of each thread.
3. All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner! Offenders will be dealt with severely!
4. To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
5. And whom ever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
6. If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
7. The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.




For your entertainment and educational purposes only I submit the following for your considerations:

Hello,

Salmson engine, spring shock absorber, remnants of side radiators and tail booms indicate one of Voisin aircrafts. In view of arrangement of metal tubes connecting propeller shaft’s wrapper with an airframe I would say – Voisin 3 LA/LAS. Unfortunately, I can not tell from the picture whether it was LA or LAS.

Regards

Marek

Another mystery! Does it mean Voisin 5? Well, it is possible. The engine looks relatively large – this may suggest more powerful Salmson P9.

Regards

This Is The End....

Alrighty then....

I guess that since nobody else wants to play with me, I'll just have to give this one to Marek, even though he did not guess Sopwith Camel!

A Special Thank You to DRAKE GOODMAN for the loan of this "Winged Wreck" fotograf and Congratulations Marek!

I did want to research this engine, but have not had the time yet.
I would accept Voisin LA/LAS Type 3 or type 5, I do know it's a Voisin!

Hello Jay,

Thanks. This is great photo no matter what is this – Voisin 3 or 5.

I will come back with the next challenge tomorrow morning (European morning of course).

Cheers

Marek

PS: Jay, I have just noticed this:
