Flight (4 Jan 1923, p,5) has it as the de Monge-Buscaylet 52 C.1 (not bothered about the name order or the C.1 class but its number). I don't have the Orbis materia1 but can someone check that the slash is right? It's certainly a bit unusual.TSRL (talk) 17:18, 2 August 2015 (UTC) Looking at he history page it looks certain that Orbis uses 5/2. I've checked L'Aérophile for 1923 and they have a 3-view but no type number.TSRL (talk) 17:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This contemporary source uses 5-2. It also makes no mention of the second, lower wing. The 3-way shows the upper wing to be quite different from that of the racer; the fuselage looks very similar, though the 5-2 was a true parasol wing aircraft, without the step of the earlier aircraft. Compare this.TSRL (talk) 13:00, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Second sentence, on the lower wing, is wrong. Sorry! It is mentioned.TSRL (talk) 16:41, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
