Sorry for the delay. Here is the next mystery.

Ooops. Five years ago this month I did post the 'pirate that Rob identified!

Over to Canada please-
 
Thank you, Rob.

I can sympathise with Kevin. It's getting difficult to find a 'new' challenge. I'm not sure how much time I've spent, today, going through photographs only to find, when I search this thread for their subjects, they've been here already!

The subject of the attached photograph does not, according to my thread search, appear to have made a prior appearance here - but I don't think that it will stay a 'mystery' for long!

 
Yes, Andy, it is a Caudron and part of the series that you mention. Thus your road from there to identification should be short and simple!
 
I don't mind "repeats" showing up here and there as there are always new photos to be discovered. The forum search tool can't always be trusted anyways.

This has always been about having fun, not adhering to a bunch of strict guidelines and keeping score.:encouragement:

The only thing short and simple around here is me. :biggrin-new: I knew what it wasn't, pinning down exactly what it was proved a little trickier, but I'm saying it is the Caudron CR.760.

I've had something of a crash course (so to speak) in French aviation courtesy of somebody I follow on Twitter with a passion for the subject. Very illuminating.
 
The chances of me coming up with anything to fox anybody here is remote, but here is my feeble attempt.

5, 4, 3, 2 .....
 
It looks rather like a member of the Lavochkin La-5 line. But when it comes to Russian aircraft, I'm far out of my depth - and without a twitter guide to keep me afloat!
