Not P************ing down here mate, I'd say light precipitation

Edited to say Holy ST LM!!!! Well, I needn't really have bothered should I

Correct mate it's the Breguet 5190

Seemingly, its sudden cancellation hastened the the end of the great man

In the meantime, the French government had ordered a further three 5190s from Blériot, and the company had borrowed heavily in order to build the aircraft. Suddenly, the contract was cancelled without explanation or compensation, forcing the firm into bankruptcy. Louis Blériot himself died of a heart attack soon afterwards, on 1 August 1936.
