That's better! It's the Notteghem LN.01 of 1951 with a 60hp Walter Mikron upfront

Thank you, Kevin.
Here's something of an earlier vintage. The number of mainplanes should narrow the field of choice - and there's a clue as to the location of the photograph to be found in its background!

No, Chris, that's not the .... - alright, I'm pulling your leg! But you've not offered the location, despite the obvious clue!
Oh and yes, Hanriot H.38?

Close, but no cigar. The photograph was taken at Cow[e]s!
I'm off to bed, so the next challenge will have to wait until tomorrow.

Apologies for the delay.
As I know someone was miffed to miss the last floater, here's another one from an earlier period.

........ It came to an unfortunate end ......

Indeed it did, but through no fault of its own or that of any human - and its designer/constructor then went back to his day job, in which he was far more successful. Interestingly, the photograph was taken only a few hundred metres from where once I lived.

...... Near Shoreham airport ?

Nearer to Shoreham Beach. This was the last of a series of early biplanes - for operation from both land and water - produced by the same man. He was an artist of some reknown, whose works are exhibited extensively in British public galleries.
