All yours, Carlo (although Chris had the answer...). Sorry if they are too easy - will try harder, but it is difficult to find something new with you fellows nowadays !

Yes Keith you're right Chris had the anser therefore in this case I "made myself beautiful with the peacock's feathers"...anyway you will find above an item of which I'm submitting a front view in the hope to make it a bit more difficult…
Cheers

It was weird I was working on the "B" section of my French files. Then not one but 2 in that category come up. Sometime you guys go through several aircraft before I even wake up. I usually want to have something available to use if I know the aircraft. Keep up the good work.
Chris
Carlo's aircraft might be Koolhoven's B.A.T. F.K.26 'Commercial', me thinks.

Here comes a wee little flyer in color:

not a one-off
in production since almost 35 years, and hence both historic and contemporary
more than 1000 built

No takers for this small aircraft with big fun?
That should be a Mini-Max, Uli.
Yes, that's one of many Mini-Max (a minimum-cost aircraft that requires a minimum of building space, time and skill, but which provides a maximum of enjoyment and performance)

That is O-BAFK, the A.C.A.Z. T.2 two-seater monoplane from Zeebrugge. 'Designed for the owner-pilot of limited means'. I like that.
Close enough, I have it as T.1.
However,the registration is correct and both planes seem to have differed only in details.
Over to you, Mike
I suspect you are right, Robert, and, not for the first time, Jane's is wrong ! Incidentally, whilst searching in '100 Ans d'Aviation en Belgique' I discovered that A.C.A.Z. only became the name of the company in 1925 - prior to that it was ZACCO - much better !
It's ages since we had a floater - here's a nice anonymous-looking one -
It's a bit dark but there's enough detail - for you to get the answer ! Yes, it's the Cant 7. Over to you, Carlo
Thanks Lefty!
In order to keep the forum moving I'm submitting this biplane which up to a few days ago was totally unknown to me!
Cheers

on the Cant 7 was there anymore info. Was it Cant 7, bis, ter? Any I-???? info.
Chris
Chris, my source is Jane's 1926 - notoriously unreliable - but this is I-ONEA, the Cant 7, with 160hp Isotta-Fraschini engine. The -bis model had the beefier 250hp motor, and the -ter an SPA 6A.
No takers yet for my yesterday's post? maybe a clue is in order....the men wear a Akubra hat which is usually used in a very specific place...besides in that particular spot only a handful of manufacturers are to be found…
Cheers

Well, it definitely ain't a DHA-3 Drover!
Nice one, Carlo!
I'll leave it to someone else since I'm probably away from home until tomorrow evening.
Eventually found it - the gear is the giveaway - but I'm away too, so I think Robert should put this one to bed....
Back home now, so I will solve this mysterious biplane from Down Under.
It is the Genairco VH-UOS with a Siemens engine, that bird crashed in New Caledonia some miles away from home...
The strange thing is that I knew the Genairco biplanes in its original form, but the radial engine altered the shape so perfectly that I hadn't the slightest idea about this mystery.
I was looking for a biplane of a South American Air Force at first...
Thanks for holding back, Mike!
