Now come along folks.
Breguet 41 it is not.
The aircraft's nickname , when translated from French to English ( Now there's a clue) comes out as a sort of beetle.

Lacab Gr.8 ?

No, I haven't a clue why it defaults to lower case...suggestions welcome. It should be LACAB GR.8

DeKd has it!
Known as the Doryphore (A type of beetle) , the LACAB GR.8 was Belgian multi role combat aircraft prototype first flown in May 1936 . Crashed in 1938 and then rebuilt , it lingered on until being found by German troops in a hangar at Evere in May 1940.
Unsurprisingly it was then scrapped.
DeKd, you have control.....

Incidentaly, I thought the Boulton Paul Overstrand was ugly but the Lacab Gr.8 beats it hands down.

Good grief! I go away for a few days and you lot are very busy indeed.

Mel's challenge.
Looks a bit of an evergreen. How about the Mistubishi K3M3 "Pine"?

It looks similar to a Dewoitine D-27, and the Morane-Saulnier M.S. 225s, but I think it is the rare Amiot 110.

evansb has it in one. It is indeed the Amiot 110 (a.k.a. the Amiot-SECAM 110).

Designed as a contender in the French “Jockey” lightweight interceptor contest it was an all metal construction parasol monoplane with fabric wing skimming. It had an aerofoil section fuel tank in the fuselage behind the undercarriage that could be jettisoned. The 110’s first flight was in June 1928. It crashed on 1 July 1929 and was not rebuilt, as far as I know.



Over to you evansb.
