This one is a genuine mystery.
If I remember correctly, it came from an early edition of the French magazine "Avions" and its identity was indeed a mystery to them.
So I guess the first in with a confident identification is "the winner"
Good Luck

Do we know anything at all about it Bill. From what you say and the possible source is it assumed to be French? Just thinking where to start!

Hi Ken,
No I have nothing more on this, and neither did 'Avions". It was in a special section devoted to mystery aircraft. I would tend to think that it would be French, but no guarantees. I'll look back and see if I can find the original article.

The picture is from Avions No 44, November 1996, Page 2. There are 3 photos (of different aircraft), of which this is one. The caption is as follows....
"Mr Roland Audibert, de La Garde, nous fait parvenir 3 photos retrouvée dans les papiers d'une de ses grand-tantes, épouse du constructeur aéronauticque Moreau. Qui pourra nous en dire plus sur ces appareils"
I don't speak or read French, but according to Google Translate it appears that the three pictures are from the papers of M Audibert's grand aunt, who was the wife of the constructor Moreau.
One picture is, of course, the one in question, another is a couple of people standing behind the tail of an aircraft, which I would say is a Caudron (due to the last couple of letters in script on the fin), the other is an extensively glazed, low wing cabin monoplane, inverted 4 or 6 cylinder inline engine, spatted undercarriage and the partial registration F-A..... The three aircraft would appear to be unrelated.
Subsequent editions of Avions, don't appear to shed any light on the mystery.

Hi Bill
Interesting. So far I've not been able to throw any light on it but will keep looking. In order that we don't forget about it I have set it so that it will display at the top of the page.

Looks the Moreau JM 10... if it hasn't been solved already. I saw this pic and remembered this thread. Haven't looked in here for it seems years. I believe earlier Trevor had posted a prior modification (delanne?) which looked markedly different. Hope everyone is well. -Karl

Morning all!!!! It has been sooooo long and I have been soooooo remiss in keeping contact. I am still around but got distrated and Bill's post prompted me to post now. I agree on the ID above but most of all I just wanted to say "Hi!" to all!
