Here's the next challenge - Don`t have the list to hand... so can`t be certain this hasn`t featured before... but I don`t recall it.
(P.S. Did anyone else think the Potez looked like a 4 engined Astazou Jetstream might have looked? http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contri...Braas/6827.htm )

Akubra's post was a reference to my deleted post with the correct answer with a smart@rsed comment with reference to googling the registration. I deleted it, largely because I didn't have anyhing to post, also I didn't want to spoil what is a great competition.
Four Aztazous! I used to fly an aircraft with two and they were a pain in the bum. Can't imagine having four.

And looking at the structure (lots of metal) not from de Havilland? And why British? What about one of those Lockheed Sirius types?

Why British? Because Windriver said "no" to three British aircraft guesses, but did not say it wasn't British.
I'm struggling here; just trying to cut down the variables.
Whatever it is, I love that coal-shovel-grip hand brake... or???

Ozbeowulf, I understand your reasoning, just want a definitive yes/no from Windriver. You may like the shovel handle, I am wondering what the Workmate with circular disc is for on the right, jump seat maybe?

Sorry... not paying attention.
Not British... First flew early to mid Thirties... Single Pilot operation, but later military versions carried an observer. Other than that it was a very hot ship for its day, holding several speed records.

I have some vague information of a German Kassel 25 mail plane that was changed into the Heinkel HE 70 for the German airforce.
A wild guess but fits some of the clues.
Edit: My mistake, reference to the Kessel 25 was in error as the text was referring to another picture on the same page. Kessel 25 was a glider
