Morning HQ,
No guns on this one, 'tis a trainer/tourer biplane of the period you mention. Be advised that the source of the photo (airliners.net) uses the double-barrell name, some sites only use the second, another well-known manufacturer and show nothing for the first who did not manufacture this model. Wiki list it under the double-barrelled name, but they don't have any info 
No armarment on this one, but its name was double barrelled

Going off-line for about an hour, another clue, it's French
Edit: Monitoring resumed; I will add that both names are well known to aviation minded individuals and the first is known to everybody!!

Morning TheiC,
It was a derivative of the S.34 and is indeed the Bleriot-Spad 54 Well done
!
This is the Aviafrance photo (under Spad) with a cowled Clerget engine; the many photos on airliners.net show the uncowled machine F-AHBE in the Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace
TheiC has control

Thank you... One of the best aviation museums, I think, and with the very best restaurant. Le Bourget day-stops were always pleasure!
Here's the fresh challenge:

Looks like a Tupolev TU-154?
...because it is! A Tu 154B, to be exact. Amazed it wasn't on the list!
Time to get onboard with Skytrain, who now has control!

has very high sills for a car door style. Is it a rear hinged clamshell?
