The only reference I can find is:
http://www.slaughamarchives.org/picture/number533.asp
but I suspect that is where you got your police report.
Maybe contacting the Slaugham archivist might help.

Agreed Bruce. The left “wing” looks to have a flap rather than an elevator.
I’ve sent an email to the store to see if they know!

Brilliant to the last two posters. I hadn’t thought of that, but I think you are right!

In the move from its former home this boom has lost its bullet fairing. I had not realised that the fairing simply fitted over the fin to boom structure.

As we have exchanged privately, Andy, I am very sorry to hear this news. From the Swiss and Italian news reports I unearthed it was a Pipistrel Sinus motor glider, which I had the pleasure of flying some time ago. As I am in the Alps on the other side from Treviso at the moment, I think of him. The aviation preservation world has lost a driving force.

Could it be the Breitling DC-3 HB-IRJ?

Sorry avion, but I am about to leave , and I shall not be able to monitor replies within the regulation 48 hours, so please go ahead, or open the house. I’ll do one next time round, if I win one!

I think I should offer this to Avion Ancien as he put me onto the Brooklands lead. In any case I shall be away for a few days. Over to you, mon ami.

I found a photo of Tommy Sopwith in a monoplane at Brooklands, ca 1913. Is it he flying?

You’re right, Monsieur Ancien.

So who has the next go? Lightning or Ancien? 50% each!
Hare (LM) or tortoise (AA)? Winner takes all. First past the post.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]218857[/ATTACH]OK, then. Try this one with its very smart crew around it. Who are the operators, by the way?
