Hi avion acien !
If you crack the Williams/Mourlot X-28/28-X code, I will back your nomination for the Nobel Prize for Aircraft Archeology. And I hope you will soon be able to visit Angers!. To help with the solution (some members may claim I add to the confusion) this is wat I got on the Williams X-28 and related homebuilts:
F-WFUR/F-PFUR: Noted as T-23 Trinité and built by Francois and Joseph Ortolan. 60hp Salmson and first flight 27.9.1950(?)
F-WGGL: Noted as Williams-Ortolan M-23 Trinité. Built by Francois and Joseph Ortolan. First flight 15.7.1951(?)
F-PEAT: in the Angers museum.
F-WFEC: Noted as an MW-25 named Donald. Around 1948.
F-PFOC: Noted as Mourlot X-28
F-WYGJ: Noted as Williams Mortorfly AH-1 and possibly built by Messrs. Varennes and Christ. Fuirst flight 22.7.1953 (?)
F-WFUS: Noted as Ortolan T-24, First flight date same as for F-WGGL
F-WEAZ/F-PEAZ: MW-25 in collection in Angers and also seen described as Marais 01, but latter seems helicopter in same collection. I have a picture of F-WEAZ with parasol wing and open cockoit, while the site of the Angers museum has F-PEAZ as high wing rtype with enclosed cabin.
One aircraft noted as MW-25 Chanute had a VW engine (wilkofife mentioned an aircraft with a VW), but also a V-tail (?). A Mr. Perdrix may have been the builder.
One aircraft noted as Miettaux C-1 and built by Lucien Miettaux ca.1950?. This one had an enclosed cabin so was technivally a high wing and not a parasol wing type.
Confused? No need, wait for avion ancien`s solution
Best, Walter
