Hmm, I never download or save the photos so this mystery is still viable to me.
Thought it was a Shorts with the engine mount strutting but that was a dead end so I'm thinking a SPCA Meteore 63.

Sorry I missed this last night - Kevin has nailed it ! On closer inspection I would say that this is the third prototype F-AIPA
Kevin has it - over to Texas !

Thanks.
Here is one built for the military...
Sort of Rob as it lost out to another design.
It seated from 2-5 brave souls but was reported as being underpowered with the clerget motor.
I can't find much about it but it looks rather like the 100hp Hanriot-Clerget monoplane that participated in the Concours Militaire des Avions at Reims in October 1911.
Sorry Off Topic!
PH, Hope you are safe from floods due to the downpours a few days ago.

Thank you for your kind thoughts, Keith. Fortunately we haven't had, in Western France, the torrential rain and floods that have beset Belgium, Holland and Western Germany.
Mike has it with the 1911 Hanriot.
Over to France.
Obviously Blériot inspired but not a Blériot. Powered by a 50 hp Vial engine.
The Bonnet-Labranche No 6 ?

You're so close, Uli, that it wouldn't be fair for me to go on. I have it as the Bonnet-Labranche No. 7 monoplane - but it wouldn't surprise me to be told that there are little or no externally visible differences between his later monoplane designs, particularly if they all were Blériot insprired. So over to Germany
Early airplanes were under continuous evolution!
here is one that was "settled":

May I just say, Uli, having watched the news over the weekend, that I hope you, and Robert and any other of our friends in Europe are safe and have not suffered from the awful flooding ?
Truly terrible pictures...
Thanks for your words, Mike.
Fortunately this part of Germany wasn't affected so much, we had lots of rain but our home has kept dry.
This must have been by far the worst catastrophe in Germany after World War 2.
Thank you for sharing, Mike. I personally live on a hill.
The low-winger is European!

A tough one, Uli
I think this is the Avia BH.11 Antelope/Antilopa which looks quite different to the "normal" BH.11
this is why I posted it
