Worthy of a Prince; The Royal Siamese Air Service Paribatra (Boripatra)

Another nice and obscure aircraft, the Paribatra, also known as the Bomber Type 2 (and as the Baribatra, Boripatra and Boriphat), was Thailand's first indigenously designed and built aircraft - a rather remarkable achievement.

However changing circumstances meant that it was soon relegated to a narrow and little-read footnote in aviation history.

*Additional footnote - looking more into Prince Paribatra, he seems to have been a bit of an issue and one of the reasons the coup in 1932 occurred.
