Gnome et Rhone
« on: 12.08. 2017 10:21 »
What a beauty!

I see what could be hydraulic or pnuematic front suspension; might just be a spring in there I suppose. I also see what appears to be a supercharger! I couldn't find any other images of this model on the interweb. Can you add any information?

Front suspension is enclosed spring with adjustable friction dampers. G & R were famous for rotary aero engines. Have never seen this supercharged beauty before.
