[ATTACH=CONFIG]221344[/ATTACH]Well I can’t be categorical about it, as I suspect few can who weren’t around.. However my photo came from ‘Les Avions Bernard’ by Jean Liron, as did the attached extract. I think the essential sentence is ‘Louis Bécherau entra aux Etablissements Bernard’. The Bernard factory appears to have been built in 1917, but as to the actual company registration, etc, I think we would have to have the book interpreted by a Francophone !
Knowing how contentious this forum can occasionally get, I am happy to receive information to the contrary !
Interesting one – the Henschel Hs 121 V2, I believe. There appears to be some debate about whether this was the V1 modified (larger fin/rudder, braced gear and tailplane) or a separate build.
Correct, sir. Lightning Mate, there appear to be quite a few sites with that image labelled as the HD15, but it is a different machine, as you see here..
A friend gave me a DVD of ‘Porco Rosso’ which, for those of you who haven’t seen it, is an animated movie combining two of my favourite things – pigs and flying boats. Intrigued ? Watch it !
So here’s a flying boat – sans porcine pilot…….
(if you get this one, and it ain’t difficult, please proceed, as I shall be away for a week or so)
