Lefty is commenting that your biplane has some Dutch Pander design elements in it.

and the engine is a Clerget....
They only made one biplane. It didn't even look like this one but.......I think he is on to something
The NVI FK 32, designed by Frits Koolhoven.
Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.
rightoo pip old chap!
the floor is yours!
Something completely different:

After looking at aircraft for a long time, certain types have an indefinable 'feel' to them - you can sniff out American designs compared to British quite easily (and not just the whitewall tyres !) This one just looked Dutch to me.
Birdwatchers (of which I am one) have a term called 'jizz' - it's not the component parts, but the way they are all combined, that counts. See ? Clear as mud.
This Koolhoven got under my radar - mentioned, but no photo, in '26 Jane's. Must try harder............
Under my radar too...ack.
Maybe I can make up for it by calling out Ferry's French veggie slicer. It's the Chauviere Gyroptere of 1927. Note the odd vertical fuselage flaps!
Over to Texas for the next one!

A gloomy day for a photo.
biplane, three bladed prop, back shooter, in-line engine... something French?
Not French Sir...
Tail looks very familiar....Fairey Sea Fox, one of the two landplane versions?
Keith
You're right! the Fairey Seafox prototype K4305
Right on Keith!One grounded Fox it is.
Over to you.
Ta very much needed that fluid! Recognition made easier because of the Halford engine!
