I like to deliver a curve ball once in a while, Kevin - 
- but your belief is not misplaced, it is the Jezzi Nº 2. Over to you!

Hanriot it is.
"The exact date of the first flight of the Hanriot H.38 is not known but had flown many times before mid-March 1926. It continued to fly for another ten months until, after alighting on the Marne at Bezons, it was caught by the current, capsized and lost after hitting the pier of a bridge. Neither Marcel Haegelan, Hanriot's chief test pilot, nor the flight engineer Quero were serioudly injured".

Well Rob you are getting the beer !
However, the question of which actual model this will take us back into murky waters! I have it as the 246-04 F-AREK(Aeronefs de l'Aviation Maritime) but also as the 246-05 F-AREL (Lioré et Olivier)
I'm sure Mike will set us right - in the meantime, over to Canada !

A couple of sources I have seen hold to the point that it was the 3rd production airframe (with the prototype upgraded to the production standard), thus it could likely have been calculated as #04. Who Knows?
As Halloween approaches, it is fairly a time for horrors, and I think this one truly qualifies!
If you have continuing nightmares after seeing this, I'll give you the number of my therapist.

You've missed the best image, perhaps the final frame, of which it might be said ..... Cymbeline Act IV Scene II lines 262/263.
Well the kids have finally outgrown trick or treating as my youngest turned 12 earlier this month and said he was done with it.
If the Vedovelli ever had sustained flight for any length of time it looks like it would have been nearly completely uncontrollable! (Maybe why the pile of scrap).
Here is a contemporary of the Vedovelli but with an interesting engineering feat (or two) for the time.

That, I believe, is John Moisant's 1909 l'Ecrivisse - with corrugated wings!

Thank you, Kevin. My apologies for the slight delay in responding. Let's try this minimalist aeroplane from the early days of powered flight.

Argh! I should have read on in Opdycke. He didn't fly until he got to Nº 3. Oh well, I'll leave it to you, Kevin, to come up with something that did slip the surly bonds with terra firma!
