01.0 rammjaeger
01.0 Rexee
01.0 RONNY BAR
01.0 Troy Raines
00.5 Miroslav Pokorny
00.1 SCMc

The rules :
1) All aircraft are of the 14-18 period (Must have left the ground during this period).
2) All "ACES" with a score of 5.0 or higher must obey the 3.0 hour handicap. All others with a score of ZERO to 4.99 may start immediately, if not sooner!
3) To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
4) And whom ever wins this challenge will have to provide a new one! If this can not be done for any reason, please PM Breguet and he will take over as host!
5)If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next challenge. In lieu of the fact that the "novices" have in effect been "cheated" of their "exclusive" time that next post should be a relatively easy one. Anyone repeating the correct answer at the right time gets neither a point nor the right to post the next challenge.
6) The final arbitrator of all things to do with the "rules" is Breguet.

Evidently, this is Henri Farman (nacelle, wings), but which number?
I have 3 choices: HF.15, HF.16, HF.20, HF.22
I see that leading edge is not straight (slightly arrowed), and if it is not because of the crash, this is not HF.15.
HF.22 had chassis without a skid, but I can't see it on the picture...
I have picture from Osprey book with similarly painted HF, but if has wrong subscript - it says that it's HF.22 but it has chassis with skids.
So, I think it's HF.16 or HF.20. My books says that there wasn't EXTERNAL differences between this models...

You can not to give me a point, but if there is no visible differences, how can I choose?

I can see how you might think the nacelle looks like a Snickers bar (a chocolate covered peanut bar we have here) But as I have not heard of a Horace (nor for that matter a Maurice) Farman Snickers I don't think you've got it quite right yet .
