Name that Flying Machine
Quiet day. Well I think it's a Thai Type 2 bomber, designed by Lieutenant Colonel Luang Vejyanrangsarit in 1939, and named "Bripat" or “Paribatra” (depending on translation) in honour of Prince Bripat Sukumphan (Prince Paribatra). Power plant was a Jupiter radial. There's one preserved in the Royal Thai AF Museum.
Pypard got it right.
Interesting part is that apparently, with only 12 made incl prototype, they used four different engines during production (P&W Wasp, BMW VI, Bristol Jupiter, Curtiss D-12). That must be a record of some kind.
Pypard, your call!

Try this one. It'll probably go quick, but I like it anyway:
Makes sense: Noyade you have control sometime tomorrow then In the meantime please feel free to take a guess.

Hi Pypard, just to explain: the 24 hour rule was imposed by the moderators of the board because the thread was becoming very quick-fire. I forgot about it myself and declared a winner within 30 minutes of posting what I though was a really obscure aeroplane. So the need to get something to last at least 24 hours is one of the things that led to only bits of aeroplanes being posted.
That Boeing is nice, isn't it: the bow looks very boat-like.

Have to say it had a Saunders Roes feeling to me....

Les neiges d'antan ont disparu au printemps Canadien.
Lovely looking boat. I had never heard of it.

I thought there was a Scottish influence, but the stabilizer is too small.
