Some of us, Mike, are still lurking around.....
It was typically noble of you to leave a clue or two here, so I energised my detective genes - as a long time birder, I immediately recognised the Puffin on the tail. No British machine of that name, and in any case I jaloused that the scenery below was Continental, and, knowing its source, probably French...
Next stop was the dictionary. 'Puffin' is apparently 'Macareux' (not such an endearing name). Only one avion of that name was found, by a M Jean Noan , reg F-PNJJ
Walter engine, and two configurations - the 2-seater shown, and a rather flash single-seater à la mode de Caudron.

Congratulations on your successful sleuthing, Mike. You are correct on all counts. It is the Noan JN22/29 F-PNJJ. Despite it being (in my opinion) its most attractive form, I eschewed photographs of it in single seater format because these are most numerous. But that didn't defeat you! So it's over to Ecosse!

Thanks Mike.
Actually we have been pretty busy of late - this old house is needing quite a bit of refurbishment and, oddly, I'm finding that any task I undertake is very slow, and often quite painful !
Here's a scarce floater that has been here some years ago - good luck...

That is normally my problem. In most case I know exactly what it isn't...
A question to narrow my search: Is it Italian?
Cheers,

A good question. I seem to think that I have seen that industrial background before and my memory (placing reliance on which, nowadays, can be dubious) suggests Lake Como.
