Breguet's Pre-1914 Challeng #392

[Rbailey]

24 hours doesn't seem to have helped the intermediate scorers even on an "easy" one. I was tempted to post another easy one, but this little machine has been bugging me to bring it to light for a while, so I will go with it and hold an easy one until next time. But this is pretty distinctive, so maybe it is also going to be an easy one. The dog is clearly not impressed.

Previous: Breguet's Pre-1914 Aircraft Challenge

The rules are:
1. The thread title must be "Breguet's Pre-1914 ID Challenge #......".
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 flying object must have been dreamt up before 1914 (no limit backwards in time ....).
4. 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.
5. Machines which exist only as 'paper', that is absolutely no material has been cut to construct it, are excluded from this ID Challenge.
6. The picture / drawing must show as much of the flying object as possible, but views showing the machine 'incomplete' are possible (with discretion).
7. Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified.
8. 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.
9. Once someone has received 5 (five) points, they belong to ROYALTY, and must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer. Once someone has achieved 25 (twentyfive) points, they must wait 24hrs after the original post before being able to post an answer.
10. In order to correctly identify the flying object, an answer must mention a characteristic of the design which has helped with its identification, or include a reference to a publication or website, which will confirm the attribution.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. The final arbitrator in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.

Hello All,

One of the nice things about Ron's interest in early Latin American flying machines is that the rest of us become familiar with the various aircraft that make up that topic. Such is the case with the subject of this Challenge.

This is the Bleriot biplane of Jose Ciceron Castillo, shown at the fields of the Polo Club, north of Bogota, Colombia 1911.

Thank you, Ron.

Cheers,
Paul

I guess I have become too predictable. But now it's your turn, Paul.

From what I have been able to gather, an original Bleriot monoplane was converted to a biplane by Castillo and Paul Miltgen to compensate for the elevation, so I suppose it might be called the Castillo-Miltgen Bleriot biplane.
