Well, I have it as a Jacques Gerin design and that is about it. Looks like an offshoot of his 1936 oddball Varivol aeroplane? Maybe the first go at it.
(Not sure what the French text is describing).

The cigar's yours, Kevin. It is the original Gérin Varivol in the course of construction. These photographs appeared in Les Ailes of 2 November 1933. I'm also of the opinion that this aeroplane 'evolved' in the course of construction. The 1933 photograph suggests that its construction was then well advanced but it didn't make its first flight until March 1936 - considerably more than two years later - and, even allowing for the fact that the posted images show it naked, later photographs of it, when fully clothed, suggest significant differences by the end of its construction. Anyhow, over to you, sir.
Thanks Mike. Robert obviously was familiar with Jaques Gerin as well so a pint for him.
Moving on with something newer. A rather pleasant looking touring monoplane.
hi Kevin
An IPT-O Bichino from Brasil?
This biplane later had a different engine. She is now in a museum and not that old.

Hi giruXX. Sport on
Here is a pic (Tom Tissier) with the Continental W670 radial. Original engine was a modified Ford V8.
Your turn, sir
I hope this one didn’t appear here before

it's a lightplane from the baltic sea

gX
That was nearly an "anti-clue" but now the penny has dropped
That's a Heinkel HE 18.
I guess I know now any Scandinavian/Baltic light aircraft personally...
I thought you knew where Warnemünde is
correct in all aspects

Sure I know the location of Warnemünde, but at first I thought you meant the Baltic states when you wrote "Baltic Sea"
I guess this one has never seen the Baltic Sea
Time for a clue:
Originally the type was built for a completely different purpose more than half a century ago...
Grumman Ag Cat VH-KKD?
Keith
That's the bird!
Also called Grumman Seacat or Red Baron Seaplane.
Over to you, Keith!
Thank you F4,
Here then is my offering, hoping that its not been shown before...
Keith
That's the Danton biplane of 1911 - according to Jane's 'the first tractor biplane with a backward "stagger" to the planes'.
I thought it might be up your street Mike! of home brew cider for the Gent. I gather Danton was the guy who coughed up the cash to build it, someone else (can't remember his name at the mo), designed it.
Over to you.
Keith
I found it as Volland V-10, F-AOZR from
