Evening Graeme,
Not had much time to look for this and no luck in trying to zoom/fiddle with the image to resolve some unclear details!
What are those two objects above the top wing? Just three engines? Wassat at the back, a biplane tail or a tree? 1920's American??

G'day Trevor.
Dunno mate. 
Yep.
Should be just a reasonably but much braced conventional tail...
No mate, see above. 
Yes mate -1923.

Thanks Mate,
Aviafrance has been on the blink since Sunday evening; it looks a bit ominous
I'll have to resort to a certain Russian site next, but that doesn't search by dates, that fin has a Potez look about it so I'll start there, but it will have to wait 'til lunch time now!

Picking up the search again, I think it's an airliner, the Potez XXII ??
Potez XXII
Your control.
Good to see Avisfrance is back online...
Potez XXII - Potez 22 - Transport civil - Un siècle d'aviation française
Potez XIX Bombardier Lourd

A'rtnoon Graeme,
Oh well, that was short and sweet, it is the quite diminutive Gloucestershire Gannet Light 'Plane, well done

Plenty of lookers (850 in last two days), but still no takers then!! 
Well; seeing as I've got others up to monitor, I might as well see if we can keep it staggering along in poor old Heikki's memory
Finding clues to what struts are lurking in the silhouette is going to prove a challenge
