Why, thank you.
Had I the courage of my convictions, I'd have loaded up a piccie all ready. I didn't so I didn't. Apologies for the delay.
I got it due to Cringe's essay into French exotica before, from which it was but a short step to the Leo.
This should prove easy; so extra points for the details of this particular, historic, airframe.

Another wild guess Howard Hughes Aircraft the Lockheed 14 he flew around the world.
'Taint a 10A or a 12. I've flown both and there's too many windows, among other things.
Barit I remember the flap about that wreck. What the conspiracy freaks forgot to mention, was Mantz's aircraft had R985's and the 10E had 1340's.

No one's even near the actual machine, but MReyn24050 has been consistently 'Lockheed' and 'Model 12' despite many distractions!
It is Lockheed L-12A Electra Junior CF-CCT now in the Canadian Aviation Museum - Website here.
The first aircraft to make a dawn to dusk flight across the bulk of Canada.
Pigboat proves why I never trust unvarnished pilot accounts, and goes to the back of the class,
and MReyn24050 has control!

The Museum version was made in 1937 and operated by the Department of Transport until 1963, when it was presented to the Museum. The Museum aircraft was purchased by the Department of Transport in 1937 to survey the proposed route of the Trans-Canada Airway. In 1937 it performed the first same-day Montreal-to-Vancouver flight, with five stops along the way.

Yeah, but I do have an excuse. The last time I flew either one was in 1967.
The 10 I flew is also in a museum, the WCAM in Winnipeg, albeit flyable. It's CF-TCC, ex-TCA, ex-Matane Air Services, ex-Northern Wings.
The 12 I flew was CF-FUS. Used to belong to Shell Oil before we bought it, and I'll be darned if I remember the cockpit looking like that.

Many thanks, I did a search dwelling on famous aircraft I thought it might be but missed that one.
Here is one that I am sure will go in now time.

Funnily enough I've flown in 'TCC, back in 2002, from Rockliffe, Ontario, home of the Canadian Aviation Museum. Did you finf the 10 and 12 good to fly? Certainly seem classy machines, and the British equivalent was the Avro Ten...
Mel, not only do I know what it is, I know where and when, as I have an almost identical pic I was saving up! I'll keep shtum and let someone else get it.
