Don't be swayed by the French markings in that photo. The Bloch is the best guess so far. At least it has a radial engine!
The Bloch 152 looks like pic #1
The Morane Saulnier MS 406 has an inline engine Pic#2
Pic #3 is another shot of it, Port side.
I'll admit its obscure. But I'm expecting someone around here will get it.
A virtual bottle of beer to the guy who can name it first.

Country: | Congratulations to FlyboyJ and Grandpa.
Half a bottle of virtual beer to each of you!
The Fokker DXXI was a close guess though. They are both Dutch.
I'll have to find something even more obscure now.

Country: | That's not the American thing, that's the British thing. The American thing is to let them steal the bottle, then blow the hell out of them for doing it.
