Guten Tag Reg, ' evening Graeme, 'morning LM 
Just a fleeting visit I'm afraid, I hope some more look in soon!
Reg; with regard to your question regarding the decriprion af the Dewoitine P-2, as the pilot sat in an open cockpit roughly between the wing's L/E and its mid-chord, with his head and eye-line well above the wing, I would have called it a shoulder-wing rather than mid-wing 'coz there doesn't appear to any part of the fuselage above the wing, but not a high-wing because of the pilots position looking down on the wing! Just my opinion of course, and it probably doesn't tie in with the classical definions!

Morning TC, and thanks. I asked because I was a bit surprised (and missed it first in AviaFrance 
), maybe while I was looking for a little bigger aircraft and did not realize that there was the open cockpit just on top…. Will now look if the French use something that would translate as shoulder wing.
Edit: I looked briefly, and the French configuration lists I readily found do not seem to have something that would be a "shoulder wing". Go figure….
A bon. Saw LM's question. Why not ask. That's a good way to find out...

You asked for it.....
Hmmm...
Ultralight/Kitplane.
Modern, say last ten years.
Engine, pusher, pylon mounted, just behind the cockpit.
2 X 30 mm cannon.

Thanks! Not only the last clue, but Gurgle the whole sentence "One online source mentioned it as a French Tourist Plane" 
.
Full metal, weighed 150kg.
Just a moment….
Sorry, will take a while. Have to attend something else...
