A Fairey Ultra Light helicopter..or Fairey Ult Hc LeB --- looks very similar anyway.
Edit: Whoops way too slow

It is indeed.. and you snuck in about 1 minute before I found it
but if he's pedantic about it, he may want "Cierva-Weir W.11 Air Horse"
as far as I care it's your beverage! I'm just sulking and indulging in self-recrimination because I couldn't find my reference in time

Didn't know you were lurking Rob. I will take that beverage!
The Cierva is one of the few helos I sort of knew off the top of my head.
Here is another six passenger transport to enjoy over your late night pizza slice or early cup o' joe...
I think this is the prototype Breguet 26T.
OK, it's a Nakajima N.36
(Nakajima held a licence to produce Breguet aeroplanes !)
They did but the N-36 was not license built. It was "heavily influenced" by Breguet, according to the info I have. It also crashed on a test flight killing all 7 aboard.
Well spotted regardless. Over to the Scotsman.
A wee bit more on the Nakajima - and a new mystery from the same era...
Only occasionally lurking and I just had time to catch up... some other project has been getting in the way...
I think I'm going to go look at books for things found around the steppes..

Rob, strumming your balalaika won't provide any inspiration for this one....
I'm convinced this one is also Japanese but it is not showing up in any of my books. Maybe a Junkers or Dornier export model...
It is not Japanese or German. I'm going to keep you researching for a bit - it is on the net.
Aero A.42?

You cracked it, Ferry ! (Moses missing an East European Horror - tish tish...) One of the two prototypes of the Aero 42 bomber.
Maybe this twin boom pusher will be easier for Mo' ..?

Well I am going to be frightfully rude and dive in here first - it's an Arpin A-1 !
(which oddly enough ended its life about three miles from where I live, in Balado, Fife.)
For Lefty!

Thank you. Now, we've had helos, we've had E.Europe, we've had a twin-boomer, so it must be time for..............a FLOATER !!
Oh dear, it is not your day so far, Kevin. This one is not French.
As for the 'beret', I think it is actually what we call here a workin' man's bunnet !
I will be away most of the day tomorrow so here is the next mystery-
Looks like an American one-off, but nothing found yet....
Okay, let's move on then. Yup, from the USA. This one is the Brown-Young BY-1 of 1936.
Here is an easier one I think-
