Good afternoon skytrain,
Is it the Potez 661 ?
I'm off back to work now, if LM is about, he may be able to put one of mine up, I'll keep an eye open, otherwise, if it is correct, then Open House please as I don't want to hold things up!

RR, It is a photograph of a model of the complete machine (I haven't seen a photo ot the actual actual machine) and no LM, that isn't a typo, it's a quote from the description on a well known web site, but I suppose it could have been a joke!
It had a greater L/E sweep than a Lightning !!!

Very similar in planform to the HP-115, but with a deep vee shaped keel/cabin, which I imagine may have helped mitigate dutch-roll if development of the flight envelope had continued to the point where that would occur.
not very likely though with a 90hp V8
then it's top speed would have been in excess of M2
