Period Test Stand



I stumbled on this image of a Clerget on a period test stand. First time I've seen one from the period, and worthy of saving in our image files.

Hi Joe and Dogtail,

Yes, it is a very interesting photo! I have quite a few similar photos, but most of the test stands are very different to the ones you have posted the photograph of. I would love to publish a book which shows such interesting details relating to First World War aeroplanes as such engine test stands.

Regards,

David.
