Warping wings?
Any chance it being Sopwich-Wright biplane. Cannot really tell if it is un-symmetric and where the propellers are.
Withdrawn.

As Ken says Open House.

It looks like it's been a good day on SC and it seems a shame to let it fizzle out now. I see your light on Reg and I assume you're out of posts, so have a crack at this, I think it shouldn't last long in the light of recent events!!

Must be the French Bratu-220, of the Romanian Romulus Bratu, quite a funny bastard of an aircraft 
Or the Romanian Bratu-220, take your pick.

You're so right there Reg 
, a Trimotor with tandem push/pull engines mounted in a pod and as you say Romanian but built in France. Too peculiar to last long, especially with the number of '20's airliners we've had recently, I haven't had a count yet, but we must be near a dozen challenges today.

Very interesting; I've still got "other duties" to carry out this evening, but I'll try and keep things rolling, although I see that one11 is logged on too now.
Obvious question first, is this another Aerofiles candidate?
Is the kink visible in the RH wing indicate that it's gull-winged?
