And now, my little mystery plane:

Bassou FB.31
Was a light wooden construction pusher two-seater built in Paris by Sociète de Constructions et d'Aviation Légère, 1935 circa, only two built.

Hi Marcogrifo,
I didn't know aything about the small french monster either.....
By the way do you know anything about an engine called Denny OQ/2A built in the USA in 1941...I think it was a drone with contrarotating props?

See:

Radioplane OQ-2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OQ-2 is the aircraft. The engine is by 'Righter'.

Hi AMCKen,
thanks very very much for your post this is going to be extremely useful for my thread. I'm sorry I used the word "engine" inconsiderately what I meant was a "contraption called Denny etc.."

S'allright. The Righter O-15 is a pretty small engine (15 cuin / 246cc) to have a contra-rotating propellor. One would think a lot of the 7hp would be used up in whatever kind of drive they used for the prop.

OK. This looks like fun. I dont know of many oddball aircraft, but this one. I had a little fun in Photoshop to give you guys a run for your money.

I had a feeling it would be easy for you guys. I was hoping to throw you off with the early model radial version.

Almost did until I looked at the PL11 instead of the PL12. : )

So stable in flight was the D.8 that one pilot (Commandant Felix) left the cockpit and walked out onto the lower wing during a flying meet at Deauville.

Cool biplane indeed

Thanks for adding this Grampa.
And thank you Graeme for the funny anecdote

Hi Gibbage,
good to make your acquaintance, AMCKen knew what it was but I have seldom seen such an ugly contraption!

Hi AMCKen
well it looks like the Righter 0-15 actually drove a contrarotating props at least according to Wiki
The OQ-2 was a simple aircraft, powered by a two-cylinder two-cycle piston engine, providing 6 horsepower (4.5 kW) and driving two contra-rotating propellers
