The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Will do some digging, Mike - but there seemed to be a lot of Mignet/Croses inspired designs about.......

In the meantime, here's yet another triplane..of the grainy variety....(yes, I used to love wandering round those Salons with my trusty Box Brownie.....)

... I think it flew well-enough for that time (with and without eninge) but definitively not fast enough to compete in a Red Bull Air Race ...

@pomme homme: I am sorry but I can't help to identify your mystery. I at first glance thought it would be the Grushin Oktiabrienok

Here comes another, similar “strange-bird”:

Nicolas-Claude NC-2 Aquilon

Thank you, giruxx, for your input on my 'mystery aeroplane'. Lefty has, kindly, come up with some useful thoughts which have provided me with an avenue of enquiry which, I hope, will bear fruit. If so, I'll let you all know. But in the meantime, if anyone else has an thoughts on the subject, I'm ready to listen.
 
Hi pomme-homme!
You beat me by a few seconds on the Nicolas-Claude!
However concerning your mystery plane it is strangely similar to the Croses EC-1 "Pouplume"......I have a rather small front view of this Aircraft and if you wish I will be glad to oblige with my pic.
Cheers
BG

Speaking of french aircrafts I have a query: do any of you gentlemen possess a more or less grainy pic of the Latecoere 13 and/or Latecoere 20?
 
w.r.t. Latécoère 13 & 20: Is it worth looking in Docavia No. 34? Latécoère: les avions et hydravions

Thank you, giruXX. Now here's something that will irritate some - it's both featherweight and grainy - but it was the handiwork of a man (he's the one in the picture) whose name - or, at least, a part of it - is well known in GA circles to this day.

 
Spot on, Kevin. I wouldn't be so cruel as to put up another Sablier! But finish this off by telling us what was his post-war claim to fame!
 
Up next, a nice photo for the time period...

Once again you had to lead us by the nose - this must be the Montee-designed Thornton N-2.

It is a lovely photo - just one of the many in that vault of yours......
 
Well here's a chap fishing from the rear cockpit of a floater - or is it ????
