not Russian, not Italian.
The neighboring country is Spain (as LM already found out) and the last time I visited Spain it had only two neighboring countries and origin is not Portugal.
(Of course Italy is also a neighboring country (islands), but I meant neighboring with land borders).

Good afternoon all,

Yes, it's my lunch break; and so not to disappoint, I'll have a hasty shot at it, no picture yet but it fits a few salient points!

Is it the Gourdou Leseurre GL-633 ??

Needless to say I'm back to work soon, so open House please if correct.

It is French. According to Aviafrance this may have been (one of) the last aircraft built by this company which started building airyplanes in 1917. The highest type/model number of ...... is 832.

SincoTC must have been posting his CORRECT reply while I was typing my last message.
It is the GL-633. I donot understand the different tail shape in the 3-view. Maybe artistical freedom?

SincoTC, the stage is yours

it looks like a parasolled Cessna!!!! That wing seems awfully small though! Is there another below it?

It is indeed a parasol, not a biplane, but not a Cessna.

We need to get this one moving, so clues galore shortly.
