A cue for whoever may show up.
This plane is from the birthplace of a world-famous (albeit controversial) fast food brand.
Disclaimer: despite having the world "Happy" in my nickname I'm not associated with such brand in any conceivable way (and I don't like eating there either).

Federal CM-3 of 1928
That was difficult also because of the fact that even though it was on aerofiles, there was no picture (and those are sooo easy to skip when you're lazy...
)Now I can go and get some sleep...

Thanks HP, a good challenge and as Reg says not too far off with Ryan, in fact, when I was looking for a photo to confirm the Aerofiles entry with no photo (cunning), I skipped past the icon in the San-Diego Archive 'cos it was captioned as Ryan01045, but needed deeper digging to reveal its Federal ID
This one shouldn't be too difficult!

Good morning TC!
Sunny and +7°C, so will go to low teens during the day (I hope).
"On the beach"
. I wish I ......
Built and flew... Was about to ask that

No thoughts V/STOL there!
Beach maybe a bit of a misnomer, it is nice and sandy, but with large stones and shingle in places, but at low tide large parts of the Bristol Channel become mud flats due to the tidal range of 15 metres (49 ft), second only to Bay of Fundy in Eastern Canada

It is indeed the the Sud-Ouest (SNCASO) SO.M2

The SNCASO SO-M2 was an experimental aircraft, built in the late forties by the French Société Nationale des Constructions du Sud-Ouest Aéronautiques to gather useful data for the strategic bomber SNCASO SO-4000, which was essentially a copy in scale 1:2.
