Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge
...or a Siebel, French built just after WW2.
It seems to have a tailskid and not wheel, which makes it very unusual for the era!

Not a Bloch, Siebel or SNCAC product.
I confess I cannot tell from the photo whether its a small wheel (in which case its buried in the grass!, or a tail skid.....suspect its the former simply because, as you rightly point out, a tailskid would be somewhat unusual.

Ken, was the company more famous for seaplanes?
Good try with the SNCAC Martinet Martin, they are very similar looking.

Yep, still here Trevor - until now
That's the one
Just 2 aircraft produced in 1948, which turned out to be the last aircraft from Mauboussin.
SincoTC has control
How about the Mauboussin M-300 ??

Thanks Ken,
I'm just off home now and I've got the my friend the dog again for a couple of days, so I'll call an Open House now and if Martin or David (or any other lurkers) want to take it, then that would be great as I'd like to see it keep moving along. If it's still open later when walkies etc are done I'll scrape something together then!
