• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks for the baton. As I said Dan Pub had the answer first. Even though I thought it was a Dinah I didn't chime in. So Dan take it away.

George de Bothezat's
helicopter at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, 1923-1924, indeed.

That was fast. Congratulations and over to you. :icon29:
 
Thanks, I was going to post the Riout 102T Alérion but it's too easy as everybody on here is so good.

Declare open house and pass the baton on.

Okey dokey. The LH rabbit hole was deeper than I thought.


Staying with the low wing monoplane theme.

Well that wing planform and those tail surfaces are unmistakeably those of the Westland Wyvern, that looks like an early Eagle engined aircraft. And a quick look at my 4+ Publications book on the Wyvern identifies that as the first prototype, TS371.
