I'm with you so far, and they are almost certainly radiator cooling ducts.

Hence my thoughts were originally the Albatross.

It's not...but there's a touch of the Bristol Brabazon about it. British?

That is the bird Wayne.

The four engines were buried in the wings, with each pair of engines connected to a single propeller via clutches and a common gear box. The engines were horizontally opposed eight cylinder air-cooled Lycoming GSO-580s (GSO denoting Geared Supercharged and Opposed, with each engine featuring a built-in reduction gear box in addition to the common propeller gear box).
You have control.

It does look that way. And yes, it is French.

I'm off to work in a minute but i'll be checking into the thread about 7 ish and after 9.

Just to add that, I feel if the image showed *any* more detail than it does the aircrafts ID would be incredibly obvious
