Breguet's Pre-1914 ID Challenge #006
Marvellous one, isn't it? Looks slightly unfinished yet...

The score at the beginning of round #006 is:

2.00 Airarticles
1.00 joegertler
1.00 matte_kudasai
1.00 Varese2002

The (preliminary) rules:

•The thread title must be "Bréguet's pre-1914 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 flying object must have been dreamt up before 1914 (no limit backwards in time ....)
•There are no limits to the flying object for the pre-1914 series. There is no ruling that it must be flown, or completely built
•The picture / drawing must show as much of the flying object as possible, but views showing the machine 'incomplete' are possible (with discretion)
•Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified
•If there is any doubt as to the eligibility of a flying object for the challenge details should be PM'd to Breguet BEFORE the object is submitted.
•Once someone has got 5 correct answers under their belt they belong to the ROYALTY. Once they belong to the ROYALTY 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 a ROYALTY 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.
•The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

North London Flying house - identifying feature - it looks like a house. Built in 1906 by a French "designer", obviously didn't fly.

Intended to have 8 wings 54 ft. long, 4 propellers, don't know what engine, and to carry 100 passengers. There was a report of other specifications, but it is not clear how much about it was accurate and kind of hard to take it seriously. Was partially built .

Well, the only source I've seen about this Flying house is Goodall & Tagg's book. Is someone saw something else?

I have not seen anything but the Goodall and Tagg reference either. I wonder if it was a plan (however unrealistic) for a real aircraft or basically a scam as accorging to G&T there was an attempt to get money for the scheme.
