The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

It looks rather like the picture of the 1914 Vickers' gun carrier that appears on page 75 of Jane's Historical Aircraft from 1902 to 1916, which I presume to be the predecessor to the F.B.5 Gunbus.
 
Not the Vickers, Mike - note the sweepback on upper and lower wings - Vickers were dead straight.
This much smaller company produced a wide variety of aircraft, military and civil, until after the war (WW1), then reverted to motor car production.
 
Thank you, Mike. I'd accept the libation offered if only I could find my caralhinho ..... !

Here's something that, perhaps, is not the most aesthetically pleasing of designs.

 
Thank you Mike,

here is something new according to my research in this thread

wrong country, Keith!

However, there is another more famous look-alike which could lead to its country of origin !

From a well known light-aeroplane company.

..... which might suggest that the mystery is the Fieseler Fi 97, which doesn't seem to have put in an appearance here hitherto. However whilst the fin and rudder seem right for that, the aft cabin window, elevators and undercarriage do not seem to be. So I assume that I'm barking up the wrong tree - again!
 
Hmm, sent you a PM about that one, Uli !

In the meantime, here is a bulky number......
