Liurette

   Two photographs show this clumsily-built semi-biplane apparently in Africa, in front of a grass-thatched hut, several black onlookers, and a determined-looking Britisher in his pith helmet in front. For some reason he is holding up a dead buzzard. A Gnome is mounted on the leading edge of the lower wing; both wings droop badly at the tips. A large fabric-covered cone is set out in front on 4 curved outriggers. The purpose of it all is unknown.
