Something from PEIL perhaps, looks like an Emeraude tourer ?, PH.

zetec2 is close. Yes it is French and yes it has relationship with the Emeraude.
However, it is known under a different name and I understand 2 or 3 may have been built, including one in Italy

CP100 "Mascaret"?

Edit: No, it is not.....

Lets try Robert Denize RD.105 Raid-Driver (or RD.130 as aback-up); connection being Piel's early work with Ronald / Robert Denize.

Hi RegDep, indeed Robert Denize`s Raid Driver.
Based on the Emeraude, but stretched fuselage and more glass in cockpit area. The first one was Denize`s own RD-105 and at least 2 further a/c, also in France, as RD-105. Then there is an RD-20/150 of 1989 also named Raid Driver, but could not yet figure out reason for different designation. One aircraft (registered I-VIDB) built in Italy.

You have control, Sir

Thanks WK.

Must declare the House Open.

Need too much time to find answers and use too little to learn how to post. Need repurposing.

Good moning LM,

Thanks; it's going to be one of those days today, half the staff away on holiday, sick or delivery/commissioning, builders back after the rain last week to dig the foundations and a new co-ordinate measuring machine arriving at eleven.

I'll leave my light on and monitor as often as I can. (if it's correct that is!)

Edited to say I think it had better be 008 now mate as I gotta be off fairly early tonight, so that one should be long gone!!

008 it will be then.

I have to go offline at 1315 for 50 minutes.

I'll put the green light off whilst I'm in class.

Yes, Nelson Dragonfly. Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long to take control SincoTC.
Now, minus engine, in the Canadian Museum of Flight
