The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I took a shot of an unusual aircraft in the Le Bourget Air and Space Museum, Paris.
So here's my proposal:

Nice photo Mark!

One thing though for our quiz here, you have to first correctly identify the aircraft for the right to post the next mystery. Keeps things orderly.:adoration:

So in this case Baragouin having identified the Hanriot H131, gets to post the next one.
 
Hi boys and girls!
This is a rather difficult task: against which U.S. floater does this happy gathering take place?

cheers

Oh, my apologies, didn't know that. I can kill the post if it's not appropriate.

Cheers,

Well BG's floater (as Moses knew also -he's being typically modest) is the Loening C-5 - also closely related to the Loening Duckling II - so close in fact, they have the same serial.......

Anyway, Mark, if BG doesn't mind, (and I'm 99.9% sure I'm correct on this one) we'll let your pointy mystery stand as the next challenge. Who's up for it ????

Hi Lefty!
It is indeed the LoeningC-5. See how wrong I can be in my assumptions? I thought this was difficult and it was identified in a jiffy whereas the one I thought would be easy (the "Phoenix Meteor") proved to be a hard nut to crack!
So who wants to challenge the pointy thing of the german gentleman and keep on going?
BG
 
No worries! It was my fault for not mentioning the rules from the first post in this thread.

The pointy space ship is the Leduc 010. Like that moody photo Mark.:encouragement:


Okay, here is something to keep things rolling along...

Don't know where to start on this except that it looks a US design, but note the modern buildings & PAPI's on the runway, the unusual blown windscreen & canopies & quality of the colour picture. Is it a museum piece rebuild & a 'one off' without a Prototype marking?
Intriguing.

Well, the Aircraft of this splendid pic is (or was) a Northrop N3PB obviously of US origin but used mostly in the UK and Norway.
However whether this is a replica or a restoration it is not for me to say!
Cheers.....

"U (cn 320) Photographed in front of Hangar 4 at Reykjavík where it was displayed for a week on its way from Northrop in Hawthorne, California where it was beautifully restored to a pristine condition by veteran employees of Northrop. Many of them had worked on the N-3PB when all 24 were built for Norway in 1940-41. "
