Blackburn?
Dart?
The Velos also looks very similar...
Sorry, Carlo. Green has it. It's a Blackburn Dart, photographed from the air over Calshot.
"Tests at Boeing Field were marred by an accident in which a test pilot accidentally retracted his landing gear on final approach. Investigation later found this to have been caused by a faulty micro switch. This occurred just as first shift was ending, and as many workers watched from the Plant 2 steps, the XF8B-1 bellied onto the concrete."
Thanks Green!
What about an ultralight "ante literam"? (sorry for the small pic)
Cheers

That is the BAT FK.28 designed by Frits Koolhoven.
How about this good looking high-winger?
Nearly the same hint from my last mystery can be applied to this plane: From a well known stable, however, the engine of this one-off had less power.
First flight around 1930, my sources differ about the exact year.
Though there is a connection to an American aviation company the plane was not built in the US.
Engine was a Siemens.
Apart from the fin it looks pretty much like a Messerschmitt M 26

Because it is a Messerschmitt M 26!
There seem to be different versions of the fin, I also didn't know about that until yesterday, when I found the photo in Bruno Lange's book.

Aah, that’s why I thought I knew the photo.
How about an easy floater for some change?

Hello boys and girls!
This follow including the gentleman with the gallic moustache is the Bernard HV220 of 1931 which probably never flew…

Salute Carlo,
there is a lot of truth in your answer but the aircraft is not yet correctly identified.

Thanks Uli!
This isn't particularly difficult but there are lots of look-alike, therefore which one is it?
Cheers

Thinking Macchi - and the nose has M.8 written on it.
Therefore, by clever deduction, the Macchi M.8.
A nice little twin.
