That is what I first thought but the landing gear configuration is not what I can see on any photos I could find.


CC, I thought you would have guessed the country which would have made it easy to guess what a/c. Anyways here is a photo, http://ibelgique.ifrance.com/Aviher/Preservation/Renard/R36-19.jpg

KK--your pic looks a lot like a product of the French Arsenal works, the exhaust ports show it to have a Hispano engine, but the OO registration isn't French. Belgian??

A Belgium a/c using the H-S 12Y engine. The R-37 was a re-engined R-36 using the Gnome-Rhone 14N-21 radial engine. The Renard R-38 used a Merlin engine and was being flight tested when the Germans invaded.
