The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Perhaps they are poisoning pigeons in the park?

But gentlemen, back to the matter in hand. Although perhaps I should say that I posted the photograph as an indication of Avionine being a trade name, without any comprehension of the aeroplane which advertised the product. So I must crave the intervention of those more erudite than me ......
 
Not quite sure about the ensuing conversation but it has not helped shed light on the Avionine biplane.
 
While I cannot shed any light on the 'mystery' aircraft, my curiousity led me to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_acetate
http://www.dreyfus.org/about/history.shtml

Avionine was the product of Dreyfus Freres, and as the Wiki article explains, they largely developed both the acetate fabric and the "dope" that covered it. So, while the company/brand is gone, it's still major part of history.

By the way, there are many pigeons in the park near the old Dreyfus facility in Clichy...
 
Well, I do not the identity of the Avionine branded aeroplane and nor, it seems, does anyone else. So rather than delay progress, I suggest that we leave this one to posterity and move on by way of a declaration of open house!
 
How about this twin then?

I just received a PM from GiruXX giving the correct answer to my mystery (Berliner-Joyce PB1) and asking why nobody was answering in spite of the relatively easy mysterious item....I think it is fair to let GiruXX proceed with the next question
Cheers
