Ok, sorry! So you look for this one?
‘Other development work at Chilton during 1944 was devoted to a low wing side by side two seater, the Chilton Challenger, with Cirrus Minor engine or optional Gipsy Major. No firm decision had been taken as to whether it should have a tail-wheel or tricycle undercarriage, it got a far as a mock-up of the cabin and centre section. If it had been completed it would have resembled the North American Navion that came out a few years later.’

The Day The Sky Fell Down, ISBN 0953450309. Not entirely easy to get hold of now, though I still see it on sale from time to time locally.

Have a look at Amazon or AbeBooks….

Guess you know this already…

According to my info this is a Polish Spad 51 (Jupiter) not a 52. The 52 had a Le Rhone engine. The Spads 29, 34, and 52 are broadly similar aeroplanes and Fonck’s 29 had twin wing struts whilst other 29’s had the more common I struts and a smaller fin whilst the 52 had a larger fin. This being about the only distinguishing area. So yes the original picture is a 29.

John thanks for your confirmation!

Well finally a guy in a German Forum got the answer:
SPAD 29
“Exposé au Salon de l’aéronautique de 1919, le SPAD 29, peint en bleu et argent, était présenté comme un biplace de tourisme. Gréé d’un Le Rhône de 80 ch et extrapolé du SPAD XV, ce biplan à aile en flèche fit son premier vol en janvier 1920, piloté par de Dominicis. Testé tour à tour par Fonck et Jensen, le prototype (F-ABDK) fut suivi d’une petite série de quatre unités, dont une fut achetée par l’Argentine et une deuxième par l’Équateur.”

Thank you!

There was a suggestion that GXY was returned to the UK and broken up at Perth but there appears to be no hard evidence….. unless someone knows differently ….!

no hard evidence:

‘Sep1954 The aircraft was scrapped at Perth, UK.’

‘Were the aircraft for the Indian AF completed by Short with the small round windows, or was this a later modification done in India?’

Guess it was a later mod.
