I'll get my coat.

I wonder if it's an old AQ challenge.

Fairings possibly? No this image has not been used on AQ in my time.

Not from the low countries i.e. Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxembourg

[dook]

Surely fairings would cover the wheels.

Eastern Europe ?

[dook]

I've just found an aeroplane with the same tail stripes.

It's Polish - any warmer ?

Anything to do with the Challenge International de Tourisme 1932 ?

Not Polish. It took part in the Challenge International de Tourisme 1930

Surely fairings would cover the wheels. Not necessarily!
Not Eastern European

[dook]

Arado LII prolly.

"In 1930, a Revised version, the L IIa first flew, and four examples took part in the Challenge International de Tourisme 1930, starting from Berlin-Tempelhof airport, but none placed, and one crashed early in the race!.

[MReyn24050]

You have it Dook it was the Arado Ae L.IIa I believe those fairings on the undercarriage cover part of the complicated spring assembly..

[dook]

That sounds plausible.

Next:

[Jhieminga]

I'm thinking H.P. 39 Gugnunc.

[dook]

Jhieminga has it with the H.P. 39 Gugnunc and found it very quickly.

All yours.

[treadigraph]

I didn't recognise it and I've seen the damn thing - mind you, it was a long time ago!

[Jhieminga]

Open house it is, as I can’t come up with anything right now. I’ll go and pat myself on the back 😉

[evansb]

It has a T-tail, but was cropped out due to a super-imposed logo that was a major clue.

[sycamore]

French possibly...?

[dook]

Logo ? What logo ?.....

[Quemerford]

Looks like a Meteor windscreen?

[Asturias56]

"Logo ? What logo ?....."

Presumably on the Photo - as in "Do not copy this picture" rather than the aeroplane...............

Very odd aircraft - that tail looks quite modern

[Quemerford]

Russian apparently, but it does look like a Meteor screen.

[dook]

It has now been almost 48 hours since the challenge was posted.

Is anyone going to name it ?

[sablatnic]

All I know is that I saw the same photo 30 - 40 years ago. I believe. Can't remember where or why
