Spotted one that i think I recognise when just passing through.....

Looks like the Jet ( Nene or ATAR) version of the Sud Oest SO.30 Bretagne.

Open house if correct

*I was mistaken, it was Biggles new monoplane when he was hauling fuel in Alaska.

I confirm that Tintin did not fly in this aircraft. You did have me brushing up on all the adventures, though, Super Cecil.

If identified, please carry on as usual.

G'day Karlark.

Very much doubt Tin Tin or Biggles have flown the Darmstadt D.29. But then again, who knows?

Yes, it is indeed quiet, and I currently have three challenges going!

Single seater and the engine is not a Genet mate.

Only one made.

Afternoon David...first chance I've had to look in. Looks familiar but seeing as only one produced I suspect I am thinking of something else. European design, late 20's or early 30's?
