Home now and going to prepare something to eat.
That's near enough for me Reg; although, I have it down as a Breguet-Michelin BM.IV as do nearly all the photo captions I've seen on the Web of the subject replica posed outside an Hotel.
These, and only photos of the "real" type IV I've found, all show the twin nose undercarriage arrangement, whereas the type 5 all appear to have a single nosewheel, the main thing is that it was a bomber and not just a Breguet!!

Funny: AQ calls it Bleriot 5 (with the twin nose wheel), and pictures a statue of it in Clermont-Ferrend airport.
My notes say that I had submitted BM-IV, and it was accepted (but I looked at AQ to respond to you)
.
And you picture is of the same replica/statue.
Here's my next, although will go to bed soonish…..

Annoying thing is that the "Additional info" URL is to a picture of the single wheel fighter
Oh well, it's only a game.
Has your challeng another characteristic fin shape, or is it part of horizontal surfaces?
Must dash; burning smell coming from kitchen, sleep well

12 cylinders 480 hp, Gareme. Part of its largeness is just pipework.
AQ dissection was just about the Breguet-Michelin. No Travel Air nor espionage involved here. And no Yanks.
Here +25 and sunny today, tomorrow's forecast +28 and sunny….
…and only noting #883, as edited, now. It's the fin shape…..

Their gonads
Not Hungarian. Not even obscure.
A few moments before the challenge picture. The gonad-related-looking thing is loose, and flew ballistically just under the belly of the silhouetted challenge (but I cropped it off
)
