The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

The chap behind the moustache is Ferdinand Lasne - which means that the aeroplane probably is a Nieuport-Delage NiD 30

Right Mike precisely a NiD30T2 a 1921 airliner carrying 6 pax and driven by an unknown Darracq 12A engine (description but no pic on Aviafrance)...
The ball is in your field

Is there post on a Sunday in your neck of the woods, Mike? (lovely vision of Jacques Tati pedalling furiously down the lanes to Chateau Pomme Homme......)

That's the Albert A-20 postal monoplane with two Wout motors....
 
Indeed it is - presumably photographed before the wouts were jettisoned in favour of a pair of Genets. Thus over to the land of banks and braes!

I know that in many ways France is a more efficient country - says he, rapidly ducking his head below the parapet - but even so, Mme la Factrice doesn't pay us a visit on a Sunday (and if she's anything like the rest of us, probably she'd have too sore a head to venture out today!). And whilst not wishing to spoil your vision of a rural idyll, Mike, she doesn't have a bicyclette but an orange Berlingo. And as to Château Pomme Homme (which sounds rather like an Australian claret), she'd look long and hard for that without any success. No, it's le Moulin de Pomme Homme!
 
Buona sera, Carlo ! (This is the Scozzese Mike, rather than the Anglo-Gallic transplant.)

I'm glad you liked the Albert (which is also the name of my favourite pub).

Now here's something which has nothing in common with the last one, other than its vintage......

You guess correctly, Uli. It is in fact J-BAKG, usually seen as a landplane, but they found some floats somewhere! :very_drunk:
 
I kept looking at the CF1 which is similar in layout but the engine was wrong and then stumbled upon the CF2!


Next up, a skeletal monoplane.
