In the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power. The city had held their ground for quite some time. The attackers had thought of a plan to place explosive charges at the city walls. A little boy named Juliaanske from Brussels happened to be spying on them as they were preparing. He urinated on the burning fuse and thus saved the city.

my guess is RC plane

because i can't see anybody sitting in that cockpit, when the engine is in the back, the prop is in the front, and the 2 need to be connected..

Yes, a static model or RC model (see glass), maybe a canting forword of a Curtis WW II wing a few degrees, and a bit of Bill Northrop thrown in for inspiration.

That is the real mccoy Bugatti aircraft. It is based in the Experimental Aviation Association Museum, I believe.

[varmint]

i know the bugatti company built several prototype aircraft in the late 30's. don't know if any made it into the air. don't think any survived the fall of france. assume it's some sort of model.

edit
t6pilot beat me to it.
