It is the elusive Desgrandschamps from the Vauville event. Thumbs up! ( On my phone so no icons available).
Over to Robert-
And a nod to Mike for sniffing out the event.
It was indeed Mikes' proposal that put me on the right track, so thanks from me as well.
What do we have here?
Whilst I thank you for the kind sentiments, according to http://claudel.dopp.free.fr/Les_plan...3_machines.htm the Desgrandschamps didn't participate at Vauville!
Mike, maybe the Desgrandschamps was registered for the concours but didn't participate for some unknown reason.
In an article in "L'Ailes" it is in the list of participants.

Well, chaps, if you haven't learnt by now that French aviation is a minefield into which only the very brave enter........
Good morning, Carlo.
It is indeed the Agusta.
Awaiting a new Tuscanian mystery ...
Good morning Robert and hello to everybody!
This is a rather common item but scarce to discover it on the net that's why I left all details intact (sorry for the hazy pic)….
Cheers

Is it just me or is there anybody else who can't see Carlo's latest mystery in that link but only some gifs?

I'd assumed it to be a stealth bomber!
Sorry guys...try this one:

Well, I got the bomber bit right!
I thought I had a good one that I recently found. Then checked it had been used before. Checked this didn't turn up. Sorry about the quality.

Chris, that is the Hodkinson HT-1.
