    Well done Richard. I did not think it would last long.
    I took it at Le Zoute in August 1959. I got 3 flights on it, aerotowed by Tiger Moth OO-ZAC (“Zoute Aero Club”). Interestingly, the Goevier was registerd OO-SZC under the wing, and OO-SCZ on the fin. SZC was correct.
    A view I took while being towed.

    No comment on the nationality!
    Back to gliders if I may. In any case it is not really very difficult. Just one of my old ones I had to hand.

    Thanks Richard. In fact I modifed my last posting to suggest the 7050, before I saw your comment. I just read that the 7050 was re-engined and became the 7060 Deauville. Let me see if I have anything ready.

    The Deauville existed in 2 versions, the SO7055 and 7060, but I think both were tailwheelers. So I am stumped!

    Added: but I think the SO 7050 was tricycle, so I opt for that.

    It looks like a Deauville with a tricycle undercarriage. Something from SNCASO?

    This is becoming a francophone thread! No problem! Maybe because we have the Francophone Meeting here in Montreux just now. Richard: am I right about the Fulmo. I am not 100% sure.

    Désolé pour le “thread slip”. L’aviation est tellement plus intéressante que la politique!

    No apologies needed! In fact I cannot find much about any of these aircraft. I looked hard for your Oricou, but nothing!
    Waiting with baited breath for your next offering.
    How’s the petrol situation where you are? We have Sarko here at Montreux at the moment. Should we keep him?

    Where on a Lincoln would it be? An overwing exit? I see the outside paint is grey rather than black which suggests it is high up.

    Did Lippisch or Fischer have something to do with it?

    Laurence

    PS: I asked this before I saw that Avion had made his last suggestion. Pardon!

    It looks a bit like the Marske Pioneer IId, but the tail is different. Could it be an earlier development?
    There was an MX-1 for instance…..

    On the other hand the propeller arrangement makes me think of RFB RW3 (which it is not, of course)

    The only pictures I have were given to me by Tony Tubbenhauer from the time he was at 6FTS, Tamworth, in January and February 1941. A17-57, A17-58 and A17-60 survived to fly as civilians VH-BGC, VH-PCG and VH-AGY. I presume these are in trainer yellow scheme.

    Not exactly an answer to your question, but might help …

    Jim has it. G-37-1 at Farnborough. I think I took it in September 1957, in fact, but stand to be corrected. Was it there 1956 and 1957?
    Note: 4 stopped and one turning!
    Bazv already declared open house before I posted the Lincoln, so it’s Jim’s turn.

    OK avion. Thanks. So if we can agree let’s open the thread up to dates and places, for instance, associated with even well-known types. It could also extend to “who was flying it?” etc. But it would have to be a readily identifiable bit of data.

    I need to think about some, but just to start, this one is very easy, just to get the hang of it. Place or event, month and year.
