That's ugly, so it has to be the French subsidiary of an English company, Les Avions Blackburn !
Or maybe it's Japanese ....................

I believe there where only two made, perhaps pre-war and you already know it's Japanese... Come on guys, you're letting me down.

Well, I think we have had enough of this. The plane is a Mitsubishi K7M (or Mitsubishi Ka-18) was a 1930s Japanese experimental crew trainer built by Mitsubishi for the Imperial Japanese Navy to replace the K3M. (from Wiki)

It has a slight look of the Blackburn Botha - I wonder if it performed in a similar fashion ? !!!

Try this one. I honestly don't know what it is.

That sure looks like a Caproni Ca.313, but the open cockpit is throwing me.

I know the Ca.313 had a few different types of cockpits: conventional, greenhouse, etc.

Dave, I think you may be right. I have a profile of a Caproni. 314. Looks very similar, but has retractable landing gear and a enclosed cockpit. The German Night Attack Squadron 1./NSG9 used one in January of 1944 according to my source.

I found something to the contrary. Mr. Pearce appears to have it. Way to go sir. We'll have to wait for Jim to confirm though.

Your guess is as good as mine. Like I said I have no idea what it is, so if you say it's a Praga, and you have czeched (pun intended) then it's you turn bother. Good going!
