Well it was easy for Storch. I thought it may have been a Sukhoi.
Here's my airliner...

I thought by "shopping" Pan American on the side it would throw you guys off the trail! Wrong.
(Did you also notice the BOAC insignia on the tail?)
You beat me by 10 minutes Wayne. The Curtiss-Reid Rambler III. CF-BIB was the last flying, which was written off in September 1946.

Very distinctive...

The "very distinctive" looks to me (with spectacles) like the Loire 30 of 1932, only one built....I thought by "shopping" Pan American on the side it would throw you guys off the trail! Wrong.

The BOAC insignia e PAA logo on Breda Zappata (an airliner that wasn't sold to anybody) was tricky indeed but you beat me on that for a matter of minutes.....

That's the one. A three-seat night reconnaissance aircraft.
The images come from a military aircraft card system produced in the late eighties and early nineties that you purchased on a monthly basis. Superseded now by the internet, they are however a good source of photos and for reasons I don't fully understand a large portion of them were French. Interestingly they were printed in Italy.

A bit more information: according to "Ugolok Neba" (forgive my transliteration, my former russian teacher would be horrified) this bird was finally called 410 intended as a night bomber but crashed in late 1934 killing his pilot and no prodution followed.

Thanks for posting this rare birds, Graeme, it's really challenging for me to get them (and in fact I usually don't 
)
)Yep, I agree, most of the strangest and ugliest aircrafts built in that period were french, very peculiar machines...

Well that lasted 19 minutes - lol
Nicely done sir.
"Glenn Curtiss built this machine in 1916 to help his defense of the Wright Brothers' patent lawsuit. It was designed in 1883 by Frenchman Alexander Goupil, Curtiss' example flew with a 100 Hp. Curtiss OXX powerplant The seaplane version in the picture was heavy and could barely hop, fitted with wheels it flew successfully in 1917. It did not contribute to a successful defense."
