The turret in front was a one-off conversion btw, and not a very successful one.

Ferry going for the hat trick. (Please no flivvers!)
Nah, time for one last hint (I like to see you sweat); this is the same aircraft before the gun turret was installed:

Time to reveal I think. The aircraft is the French (Duh!) Loire L-30, the turreted version was known as the L-301.
Biplane=good, triplane=better, so let's add two more and we get the..?

Sorry to spoil the run; Ferry; but couldn't resist this one - there are not many Ferry posts go by without one of Anthony's babies appearing - and this is one - a Fokker V8 ?
Yep!

Another biplane (sorry, Kevin) but quite a nice one..
Don't mind the biplanes that have a little style. It's the generic looking ones that drain my lifeforce. Trolled aviafrance pretty good looking for that Loire. Must have skipped over it!
This one looks like the...
Did the same thing with the bombers and transports. Doh!
I do have a Avimeta 132 in the archives. Looks like one I saved from a Flight International troll some time ago.
Not having much luck of late. Anyone got a line on Lefty's latest?

Another French delight from Lefty, a Caudron P.V.200.

Thanks for the lunchhour brewski.
Here is maybe the modern day equivalent of the Caudron to identify-
It helped immeasurably that you didn't photoshop out the unmistakeable hump of a Suk in the background!
