I have no problem with your "snippet/cropped" style. However, others might feel differently.
Regarding your challenge, an interesting looking aircraft. 5 Cyl radial, low wing monoplane. Metal fuselage fabric covered wings? Vintage early 1930s perhaps? Possibly Russian.

Good morning Mel.
Fair enough mate. I'll wait for other comments before trying it.
Yes mate - "fabric covered magnesium". I have 1934 and it made around 600 flights.
(Did you watch any of the Closing Ceremony? I was never a fan of the Spice Girls...)

Found it, courtesy of Airwar.ru, the EMAI I-34.
Watched part of it but so many has beens on it I switched stations.

Well it's all there, the whole aircraft, and there's two of them! Yet the recognition cells remain anaesthetised.
First thought was British. I'm dubious about that.
Second thought is French, purely based on the tail.
Now I'm even thinking some sort of naval American?

Mid-afternoon, a cup of tea and another look-in. I was hoping Karlark, Brian or a sleepless Trevor may have solved it or provided some more ideas.
At the moment I'll try for a Potez product, maybe the 25 or XV versions?

A'rtnoon Graeme,
Well I was going to plump for the Potez 15 (aka XV) but couldn't get on line 'coz of ongoing Internet problems, I've got Ken's Anzani powered jobber too (from a good place for beer and chocolates), but ditto will try again later but a busy day ahead!
