Hi Waynos,
I must admit I was wrong and I congratulate for your excellent eyesight (maybe when you are 75 as I am your sight might just not be so good).
As to your very polite remark whether I have been at the beer I wish to point out that as a good italian I do not drink beer but wine (which is excellent in my region)
regards

Gotta love the Z308, I do have a soft spot for big propliners that nobody wanted.
I believe the latest one is the Ried Rambler?
I thought by "shopping" Pan American on the side it would throw you guys off the trail! Wrong
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.
(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.
Reid Rambler
Very distinctive...
Hi Carson, wine can blur the vision too. Must be why I need spectacles!

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 Superseded now by the internet, they are however a good source of photos and for reasons I don't fully understand a large portion of them were French.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.
Another...
This is a Potez-41 BN5...a very ugly thing...but thanks for submitting your pic which is much nicer than the one I have
carson1934
P.S. By the way could you disclose name of the card system you are referring to
Yep, I agree, most of the strangest and ugliest aircrafts built in that period were french, very peculiar machines...I've never seen that Potez before. What an utterly bizarre looking plane! But why am I surprised, it is French. They had a flair for making bizarre shapes flyable long before the advent of fly by wire
Since we are going with ugly planes:
as yes it did fly.
