Sorry, not a Bloch. Not according to the book from which it came. The design probably lost out to the Bloch design(s). I notice subtle differences between the Bloch and the mystery aircraft. It was designed to meet Programme Technique A20 requirements.

So did I already. Especially the tail.

Probably not having a proper source .

So the shotgun list is

- Amiot 390
- Bloch 162 and 163
- Bréguet 482
- Couzinet AC-20 and AC-21
- Dewoitine D-800
- SNCAC NC-110
- Potez 660
- SNCAO CAO-700 and CAO-710

Okay, I understand you taking the low-road, but yes, it is the Dewoitine D-800. Pronounced tail dihedral quite common amongst French designs of that era. RegDep is correct.
Your turn.

I now think it is the Dewoitine D-800

Its three-view even has a funny line next to the turret; you have redacted it…..

Edit: Whooops, that was close

Just found the drawing here:

Google Image Result for http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h306/parigoballadeur/D-800.jpg

Looks to be the Dewoitine D.800 ?

Edit Well done Reg !! Are you a mindreader Bri? You seem to have pre-empted Reg's answer

Morning all (although it seems like afternoon after a very early start)!!

A quick stab and off again; those vertical undercarriage struts remind me of a Fokker F.14 ?? OH if correct.
