Good evening
I apologize for the delay and am glad to submit following new challenge…
Good luck to you all
Carson1934
Hello everybody
two solid weeks have gone by…is there anybody who wants to collect my challenge for the sake of pursueing this thread?
A little help: it is a french fighter and only one was built…
I hope to hear from somebody soon:(

For sheer totality of ugliness, I want to call this aviatory monstrosity an Amiot.
However, I think it to be a Dewoitine 510, which makes it an ancestor of the D520 and D 521, if I’m correct.
Kind Regards Carson1934, Uyraell.
Hello Uyraell
you’re indeed on the right path! It is a Dewoitine but unfortunately not a 510 (a slightly lower number)…look just a bit more and you’re there…
Cheers
Carson1934
Warm Hello Carson1934,
I’d have to conclude it to be either a D500 or D501. The difference is the engine only, from Ycrs to Xcrs format, Hispano Suiza.
Basically, anything else between D500/D510 is “a design number” and wasn’t built, apart from the 503 and 505, which were begun but not completed, iIrc.
Which brings us neatly back to “the root of the family tree” so to speak. I’m going for D500/D501.
Warm and Respectful Regards Carson1934, Uyraell.
Good morning Uyraell
thanks for your continued efforts concerning my mystery aircraft which is indeed, as you have surmised, the Dewoitine 503.
Only one aircraft produced in 1930 (more information on Aviastar!).
Therefore you are bearing the palm away and I’m anxiously waiting for your next offer.
Kind regards and thanks again for your time and patience
Carson1934
Warm Hello Carson1934.
I don’t really feel I earned the palm, though I do accept it with Thanks.
This next humble effort of Mine was arrived at by internal debate: obscurity versus relative anonymity, as`twere. I’ve decided to go with obscurity, and hence take this opportunity to apologise for My photo-editing skills, which are rather lacking.
Please find attached this next offering.
Kind and Respectful Regards Carson1934, Uyraell.
My dear Uyraell
I’m afraid your present challenge is going to remain unanswered as far as I’m concerned unless of course you are ready to submit some clues.
As a matter of fact I’m not versed at all in utility/sport interwar parasol monoplanes of which thousands of look-alikes are available.
Therefore I think I’ll have forcibly to leave this offer unattended and let somebody else take care of it.
All the best and cheers
Carson1934
Hello Carson 1934,
I’ll give two clues. A: a Saint’s name is involved, Presumably in the hope the pictured Orthodox contraption might more easily loft heavenward.
B: It is from a nation rather less known for “native” designs than for licence-built derivatives, tho often not quite as away with the faireys as one might be tempted to think.
Kind Regards Carson1934, Uyraell.
Dear Uyraell
thanks to your clues I think I got it: Orta Saint-Hubert G-1 from Belgium.
At the beginning I was thinking of another belgian aircraft: the Bulté, but all of a sudden your A/c came up!
Thanks for the unusual offer…
Carson1934
I mean the Bulté RB1 which has a familiar look with your offer but…it’s a biplane!
Carson1934
Here’s one more picture of this little elusive aircraft Saint Hubert:
I salute you, Carson1934: Salutes well done sir!
You are correct, Orta Saint-Hubert G1. as your second picture shows.
I await with interest your next aviatory quandry.
Kind and Respectful regards Carson1934, Uyraell.
Hello everybody!
Here’s my next aviatory quandry which isn’t particularly difficult:
Let the best win as usual
Carson1934
PS I mean “aviatory quandary”
Good evening gentlemen,
I realize that there are no takers yet for my previous enigma of one week ago.
Well I’m now going on holidays and will be back beginning of August. In order to let you gentlemen go ahead with the forum I think it is best to keep my image in abeyance and declare “open house”.
I will solve the enigma upon my return if not guessed before.
In the meantime all the best to you all and I’ll catch up with you upon my return.
Cheers
Carson1934
Hello everyone.
Think this is Dornier Do-22G in Greek service.

Indeed it is Damazy, here is the original picture
