Breguet's pre 1914 ID Challenge No 26

Bonjour à tous

And here we go for the No 26

Good luck in your search

Richard


The scoreboard after #25:

4.70 Rbailey
4.50 Varese2002
4.20 richard B
3.00 Airarticles
2.30 matte_kudasai
2.20 Aquilius
2.00 Cruze
1.00 joegertler
1.00 paolomiana
0.60 aerohydro
0.50 Rod_Filan
0.40 Wind In The Wires


The 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
•Machines which exist only as 'paper', that is absolutely no material has been cut to construct it, are excluded from this ID Challenge
•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

Oh a fast one again


That's the Lohner Pfeilflieger Sporttype 1912 - or Type "Hold" if you like.

Of this light arrow-biplane with 85 hp Hiero engine two copies were built.
One for the k.u.k. Luftfahrtruppe that got the name "Cyklon".
A second model (seen here) was sold to Herman Hold. It could be fitted with wheels or floats.

This picture was taken when Hold flew the aricraft at the Adriatic See at Portorož (today Slovenia) in 1913.
(I remembered the tent and the flapped down wing ends - to offer an ID feature
- Oh, of the tent is not much visible, but radiator and floats positively ID this craft)


Cheers

Aquilius
