Thanks Kevin, here's another floater
Hmm, going to take a shot in the dark. Maybe the Yokosho Ho-go small seaplane of 1918?
You are on the right track but that's not the bird.
The plane flew a little later.
I should have altered the face of that lady
The Yokosuka K1Y, also known as the Navy Type 13 Trainer, by any chance?

Spot on, Uli
Here is the "uncensored" picture.
I have another deputy of the floater theme:

Indeed, I have both ! (Depends whether you add the 'Prag' to the Fertigungsgemeinschaft...) Yet another scaled-down floater, which like most of the others, didn't achieve much.
This didn't float, to the best of my knowledge. Must have been quite bracing to fly..(and keep that Red Baron silk scarf well tucked in !)
Ah, back to France. That's the Daspect III.
Aha ! Stirrings from the heart of France - yes, M. Becherau's wee flivver indeed
Is that a Dewoitine D.371 in the background on the right?
Yes, and Mike is going to tell us what's in the background rear left too, with his mystery.......
..... Kellner-Béchereau Type E1?
I'd rather guess that's an E-5.
There is quite a distance between wing and top of the fuselage.
Here is a photo of the E-5 in the same location more or less with the Dewoitine in the background.
What's the aerodrome?
I guess Jacques' avion had the same designation/name as the successor with conventional gear...
Curiously he had the same surname as my neighbour.
Come on, gentlemen. At least two of you know what it is but apparently are being coy. Please reveal or I'll do so and throw the door open.
For me its like trying to identify Richard III......from his skeleton.

Skeletal or not, Keith, those wings must give it away!
