I'm cocksure this one will go very quickly!
BTW it was thanks to the generous clues that I guessed the previous Bernard....

You're right of course Lefty.
:icon29:My pic identifies the Bulté RB30 Sport especially equipped for the flight Brussels-Congo which departed Febr. 9th 1932 but terminated, alas, in Algeria if I'm not mistaken.
Plane registration was OO-ALX and was fitted with a Cirrus Hermes II (only 105HP!).
Your turn of course....

Back in business again - is there anybody out there, though ?

Here's a speedy wee fellow I found in an old Flight magazine....
 
I agree these wee American jitterbugs are ten a penny - I'll give the :icon29: to Baragouin, although he's got his Californian Browns mixed up - this is the B-2 (I think) from Larry Brown of Santa Monica, not Alden Brown from San Francisco.

(Moses is about to tell me they were brothers.......)
 
Thanks Lefty I didn't think I would deserve a :icon29:! I think Brown, in the happy and buoyant USA, is similar to an italian Bianchi or Rossi.....
Anyway here's an easy one, somebody said this is the only pic in existence (I hate the ominous word "extant")
Cheers

Yes Lefty it is indeed the Tupolev ANT46/DI8 a heavy fighter (joint-venture Tupolev/Arkhangelski) built around two recoilless APK11 guns.
Your turn of course

Only picture known to exist?? I think we can put that rumor to rest......
(quite possibly the only decent picture - the one below is quite poor but it shows the nose glazing)
 
Nice one, John, where did you track that down ??

In the meantime, a one-off that came to a tragic end..
