No no by no means are your communicating into the ether. A most brilliant and proper presentation on the NC.211. Well researched and presented thus enjoyed learning of this plane that was totally unknown to me until your video. Hip hip hooray! from this side of the pond mate. Keep ‘em coming. 👍🫡
I'm impressed by the French for their foresight in providing a neat loading schematic in how to transport your elephant and other pets. Presumably there's a trap door between the decks for the family giraffe. So many designers treat pets as an afterthought. Or worse, as some totally unintuitive size comparison. If you can't get a comparison across in perfectly sensible units like double decker buses, olympic size swimming pools or banana's it's probably not worth it comparing it to anything at all. And if you're not going to tell me how to load it, leave the elephant out of it. Thank God for French common-sense and practicality. Nice video, great choice of lesser known planes so far.
@@michaelguerin56 Of course of course my good sir. That much is obvious to any elephantine-aeronautical expert such as myself. It must be Babar, if it were Dumbo the design of the plane would be vastly different, any layman can see that. 😁
I thoroughly enjoyed that vid. I have been an aircraft nut since I was kid and remember getting the first copy of Fly Past magazine in 1976. Thank you for creating a well presented vid of an aircraft totally new to me.
Cheers. This story reminds me of the twin engine and twin tail boom Arado transport aircraft with rear cargo door. It had to be redesigned with four smaller engines because the specified BMW engine was needed for the Fw 190. That cargo aircraft did enter service but in very low numbers. Thank goodness for the ‘top down’ and grossly inefficient management style of the Reichsluftministerium which stifled innovation, duplicated effort, failed to disseminate critical technical intelligence and exacerbated Germany’s strategic material shortages.
Really interesting aircraft ! -I haven't even seen it before. -Seems like it could have been a (little bit of a) success -for what it was. (Although underpowered, I suspect) ? Although I haven't watched the whole thing yet. -I'm just really fascinated by what I see (so I paused to write this) 😀 -Seems like this could have been a "flying boxcar" type of a plane... -Cheers from Iceland 🇮🇸 K.
Hi Terence. Thanks. You would be the man that knows. 🙂 What did you think otherwise ? Cheers! - Keith Brooks. PS. Doing this kind of stuff now by accident. It is a bit of a story why!
For its purpose it was quite a beautiful aircraft. It's a pity the design didn't receive Bristol Centaurus engines like the Blackburn Beverly. It would have delighted the eye like the C-121 in SAC service. Rather than frighten all bird life from the sky like the Beverly and Freighter.
Please accept this as a friendly comment, but I think you should slow down the pace of delivery of your narrative so that it is clearer audibly. This video is a tad under 7 minutes. If you slowed your pace of delivery it might only increase its time to 7-1/2 minutes, which still makes it a short video, and more attractive to surfers. There's nothing wrong with the text of the narrative.
Beautiful video!. I’m subscribing. Just, please, talk a little bit slower… as a non english language native I had a difficult time understanding what you said. Thanks.
Just a hint. In the RUclips settings (the 'gear wheel'), drop the playback speed to 0.75. This will slow down the video and delivery but leave the voice fully comprehensible. You may find this helps a lot in following the voice-over if its a bit fast or in a language other than your native one. It certainly helps me in videos produced in French and German.

Wow , a 4 engined Bristol freighter with a nose wheel 😊 ps great article. I thought id seen everything aviation wise and this was a new one
Thanks. Others on this channel and more are coming up!

I was thinking more like a French version of the Blackburn Beverly.
Its like a c124 globemaster and blackburn beverly had a love child. But with a c82 packet cockpit
Definite Beverley vibes👍.

Thanks, very kind of you. I am so pleased & shocked with the response. That makes it all worth it. All the best from the other side of the pond 🙂

Thanks. I did laugh at the odd selection of cargo.
One of the designers may have read the Babar books!

Good presentation and research. Very interesting to learn of planes we never hear about over here in the US. I like your narration too.
Thanks & and I really appreciate that people are enjoying them.
@@talesfromthehutandhangar THANKS for not using computer narration.
Thank you very much. I have my own style of narration 😁. Makes it worthwhile with the nice feedback l am getting. These stories need to be told.
@raypurchase801 👍
Good job mate.Never heard of this one👍!
Many thanks!

Thanks very much. Appreciated.
Looks like a Brisstol Freighter on steriods.
Bravo et merci . Well done and thanks
Merci
Another lovely pick of a cool aircraft!
Thanks
Well done! Good cover realy. UK.
Thanks

Thanks. Engines caused massive problems on both sides.
Never knew about it, did its failure lead on to the developement of the Bréguet 761 Deux Ponts I wonder?
I believe so.
A French Beverley!
Trust the French to consider it among their strategic priorities to develop a military transport of sufficient size to carry various zoo animals.
Looks reminiscent of the Blackburn Beverley.
Similar requirements often come up with very similar answers in the same time frame.
Really interesting aircraft !

Thanks. Glad you are enjoying it.
The first prototype Cormoran wasn't allocated a registration.

Yes I it needed good engines. They looked at the Centaurus and others but French pride would not allow.
I am NOT an expert on radial engine powered transport aircraft.
That said, a range of 620 miles at gross weight sounds a bit _limiting._
It's performance & range were shit putting it bluntly.
So you load heavy items from the front, they go to the rear and the centre of gravity moves behind the main gear? Did they prop the tail up?
I guess so.
The flying bullfrog?
I like it !!

Thanks Mark. I am aware l go a bit fast. Point taken and l am aiming to sloooow down.
Awesome
Thanks
Would more powerful engines saved this program?
Maybe?
All french aircrafts were measured in metrics
@gerhardsteinmayer3176 In future episodes, l have mentioned metric & Imperial mesurements so it keeps all happy.
Vaguely a French Beverley...
Yes or a Bristol Freighter
Beautiful video!.
