Errm… Ahem… Where is the wing?

An Avia of sorts?

It's a low wing and you can see the trailing edge just aft of the rear gear strut.

Not an Avia.

two-seat, low-wing, wire-braced, monoplane. Anzani?

Not Morane-Saulnier, but French anyhow?

Your belief has led you to the correct path RR.

It is Caudron 630.

Is it British? or at least European?
I have some vague memories, but cannot bring them to a focus...

Edit: there it goes again with that annoying bug...

There's that windshield that bothers me...
...and the fact that I've seen this very photo before, I remember the shape of the rear fuselage.
Gosh, I hate it when my memory isn't up to the job...
