Silhouette challenge
I didn't say Loundy, but Loudy, and it is quite similar to the scetch in his patent petition, so it could be connected, I thought.
I'm not a bit wiser. And have brushed my teeth now.
G'night!

I am a bit confused here...not difficult I know.
We are still talking about the experimental aircraft...there has never been any mention of construction methods/materials.
??????
Not Loudy - RR has correctly discovered that its purpose was to trial construction methods and materials

Hello Graeme...guess I was along the right lines with Bernard. Mind you have gone through all the Bernard models I can find, but not getting very far. Time to call it a day now so over to you to (hopefully) id it.
Night night

Is it the SIMB Bernard "Ferbois" (Type C ?)as presented at the 1922 Paris Salon?
I can't find any photos or drawings and have to get down to work in a few minutes, so Open House please if correct!
I just found an illustration on page 764 Flight, Dec 21 1922 and it calls it the S.I.M.B. Bernard Type C

I was coming to say the SIMB Bernard Type C as illustrated in Flight but I'm sure Sinco is talking about the same plane as it is illustrated in the 1922 Paris Salon edition.![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
Ah, I see you found it

Good morning Skytrain
I disappear because my logging problems still persist....to get thru to you it's a miracle as I said earlier....therefore I suppose I have to be content whenever I can communicate with you like today (but I reckon tomorrow or this afternoon I'll be unable to log in).
In the meantime I use the forum as a.....cultural aid!![Wibble](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/wibble.gif)

Morning all.
I'm afraid 'twas me who caused the confusion yesterday, since I directed my post #6081 towards RR instead of one11.
I was trying to be devious, and this is as far as I got:

Beware scanners and Photoshop.
