The Obergefreiter looks like he's in the sort of built-in stand you only get on seaplanes.

HI Graeme.
It is French and the part you have indicated in your imageshack image is part of the undercarriage.

Good morning Mel,

I was pondering over that triangular device at top left, it's shadow shows it must be transparent, so I guess an open window?

Therefore with the country clue and what appears to be a high AR wing, I think it may be the Bernard 81 GR "Oiseau Canari II"

Regret another OH if correct as I still can't get PB access.

Thanks Mel,

Nice Challenge that big "Yellow Bird"

Sorry for the delay, but I have managed to sort out my PB, so here's the next (fairly easy one I expect).

Hi Trevor, glad to see you have sorted photobucket out. Your aircraft looks to be a single engined high-wing cantilever monoplane with very thick cross section. Similar to the Fokker II but I do not think that is the type. Cannot quite make out the engine. Is it a 5 or 3 cylinder engine?
Mel

Hi Mel,

Your observations are correct and it's not a Fokker. Nor a three or five cylinder engine either, but the latter is very close
