With those graceful lines my initial thought is/was French

A Breguet 460 maybe?

Edit to say closing down for the night now, so if correct will have to be Open House.

Good morning/evening all.

This one might be quite taxing, so clues whenever you want them.

Bingo Mel - the floatplane which could not get airborne with floats on, so was put back into it's original configuration with wheels.

Mel has requested Open House, but since I was not around either last night he may be back early this morning to post his own challenge.

A rabbit?...no, a Hare!

What's that old joke?..There are no rabbits on Mars, but there are hares on Uranus.

Noyade is correct. (and funny). The version in the silhouette has modified gear legs for torpedo/carrier based ops. Your turn.
