Previous challenges:
Breguet's 1919-1939 Aircraft ID Challenge


The all-important rules:
1.The thread title must be "Breguet's 1919 - 1939 Aircraft ID Challenge #......" AND must be placed in the Non-WWI Aviation sub-Forum.
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. The completed aircraft must have been either; designed, built or have left the ground during the '1919-1939 period and be identifiable by the poster.
4.The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
5.Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified (always check the list at Aeroplanes 1919 - 1939* -* Breguet's -Aircraft Challenge* -- when in doubt !).
6.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.
7.Once someone has gotten 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.
8.To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
9.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.
10.If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next one. 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.
11.The final arbiter in relation to questions about the rules is BREGUET

Do we need a hint? It's not American, North or South.

More hints?

[Rod_Filan]

Is it French?


Cheers

[sobrien]

Not French, but European. They did make other flying boats.

That mostly leaves England, Germany & Italy.

It does remind me of some of the SARO products, but I certainly haven't found it.

Saro (Saunders-Roe) A 17 "Cutty Sark" ...
A shoulder-wing monoplane flying boat with two pylon mounted engines looks like smaller version of Rohrbach flying boats but it is British ... Gipsy engines provide a clue ...
I do not know much about this design but single example was tested by Fleet Air Arm [A 17 Q or A 17/6].
Regards,
Yavor

P.S. May be not Gipsy but Cirrus engines
P.S.2 : Saro Cutty Sark first flight (Youtube)

YavorD has it! My dad has the 1929 Jane's All the World Aircraft, and this was always a favorite from that book, don't know why.
