The Schempp-Hirth GS6 Milan from Germany (D-ECYD) ?
May I compliment avion ancien (for posting) and Richard B (for the correct answer) on the very unique RB-30 by Renè Barbaro. Avion ancien is correct that there is a lot we donot know about his designs.
What I found (and please correct me if I am wrong)
on the aviafrance site I did not find Mr. Barbaro`s name (?).
He did design/build the RB-30 (F-WFOT), RB-50/RB-51 (F-PLUD), RB-60 (F-PPZG)and RB-70 twin (F-PTEL
I doubt whether there was a RB-40. The design with the British connection may have been the RB-60 (P-PPZG) which used an Auster J/1 fuselage.
But then again Fox Papa reports F-WFOT as the RB-40 no.01.
In the site given by Richard B it says that the wings and engine of the RB-30 were later used in the RB-50. If that is correct the engine could be a Continental C90, although in old material I have, engine in the RB-30 is reported as Continental A65.
Hopefully somehow, somewere, sometimes some answers will come up.
