brett 2,316 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Ok fellas, here's the next one in an edited image. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Got it, The company that made this is more well known for fighter aircraft. And inspite of it's name it was never seen in the dock sides of South Wales! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Looks like a Schneider trophy contender. John Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Looks like a Schneider trophy contender. John More than just a contender I think. I think that the iconic Schneider Trophy aircraft that everyone is familiar had one over this, if you mark my words. 2 years separate the two, but everyone's a winner!

brett 2,316 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Guess we have another chicken to kill here. I can't imagine having all that engine in front of the cockpit. What a challenge and a thrill that must have been. Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,316 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I was surprised that they were going that fast back then, considering the two big pods attached under them. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 OK if no one is going to kill this canary, It's the Nieuport-Delage NID 450 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I had it down as the Supermarine-Napier S5 (1927 winner) Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Dodgy got it this time around, it is the Nieuport-Delage NID 450 and if I'm right, did not win the last race held (Schneider Trophy) in the early 30's because it wasn't ready for entry. Well done, your up Alan........ Link to post Share on other sites

Quickmarch 488 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 It's a 10 X 10 - that's it for me because I can't do anything by way of posting another. Beautiful airplane, as only one with it's pedigree could be. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes, this one is yet to fly, lets hope they have more luck this time than they did in 1939. In the meantime i shall stick with one of the fastest production cars....In the world! Link to post Share on other sites
