It’s a CGI/Photoshop created monstrosity. Will people continue, indefinitely, to think that something so improbable is real. C’est la vie!
Second guess – if I’m allowed one – is the Fairey Primer. The reason why I’m unsure is that amongst all the books in my library I can only find one image of the Primer, which is from a totally different angle and pretty washed out, making a comparison difficult.
I’d be pretty confident that it’s a Miles Falcon if not for the windscreen (although I must have regard to the modified windscreen on the Falcon Six F-BBCN) and the untrousered undercarriage (a bit like that on the Hawcon – although it’s more Gull to me ). If I’m wrong I’ll need to go away and do a little more research.
Oh b****r – it will have to wait until the morning when I can search my collection of photos of French vintage aeroplanes (collective sigh heard this side of the channel!).
Well here’s the next one – but no prizes for guessing the country of origin!
If it had been the case – which it seems that it is not – that the Shuttleworth Collection intended to acquire a Lockheed 12A to add to its collection, to me that would have seemed a surprising move. Does the Shuttleworth Collection have a stated policy concerning aircraft acquisition and, if so, what is that?
I believe that it is a Potez 36/13, rather than a 36/21, but as I was prepared to accept the answer as a Potez 36, it would be too pedantic of me to say anything other than – you have control, groundhugger!
The aircraft in question is F-PEVA. Does anyone know if it is now on display at the Musée de l’Aviation de Montélimar with its original registration F-AMEI or is it still undergoing restoration there?
Sorry. I’ll remember to read more carefully in future!

The group of aircraft (?) between the runway and the hard standing, would this be a group of the ex RAF Prentices bulk bought by ATL, rough daubed with their civil registrations, mainly never converted, flown or sold and most of which ended up in the scrappy’s melting pot?
Aviation archaeology?
Picked these up at Stoneleigh today
I didn’t know that Stoneleigh was used for flying, certainly not with Camels, 504s and the like. Were they on the surface or did you have to use a metal detector to locate them!
My wife made crumpets yesterday evening. At lunch today a friend from the north country (that’s England, not France) said that they were pikelets. I asked whether these were, in fact, the offspring of pikeys. He said no, those are minididikies. Can someone enlighten me?
I think that we’ve been here before – time and time and time again. Maybe a search of the numerous past threads on the subject might be a good idea, inkworm.
Welcome to the forum Sven-Eric. I’m sorry that I can’t help you but I wish you luck in your quest. Your query is even more obscure than most of those I initiate! I know that there are some Scandinavian forum members so hopefully either they can help you or point you in the direction in which the answer may be found.
Err, why is this thread in historic aviation? Maybe, taking “historic” literally, because it did not happen today!
Certainly longer than the fuel!
