The squared engine cowl is reminded me a Mann Egerton Type H.
Here is challenge photo, and the photo of challenge #098
As that challenge was SECOND prototype, so I think now it's FIRST prototype ( Wikipedia says that there was only two aircrafts of this type). Difference is in rudder shape and something in chassis, I can't see it...

Undoubtedly this is the Mann Egerton H.1. Although the serial N.44 was carefully removed from this picture, this machine can be easily recognized by its central float direct under the fuselage and the two wing floats directly mounted in the wing.
The Mann Egerton H.1 was a single-seat fighter designed for shipboard use.
Cheers
Kees

Oh, it's not the wing, it's float! Now I see the differences, thanks, Kees!

The object of challenge 098 was Agerton Type H2 and not H1 object of this challenge
The two photos are in the Bruce 's Book

It's just words playing, I think, Type H1/H2 or Type H first/H second - call it as you wish

The Mann Egerton H1 and H2 had the same basic airframe, but the H1 was clearly distinguishable by the external flotation gear that Kees noted. The H2 had its flotation gear internal. They also differed in rudder and other details. As the two machines were normally referred to with the separate H1 and H2 designations, I think they pass as separate challenges. Matte_kudasai clearly got the identification and the next challenge, but I will give Kees some credit for the exact designations and pointing out the major identifying feature.

Previous: : Aeroplanes 1914 - 1918 - Breguet's Aircraft Challenge --
The rules :
•The thread title must be "Bréguet's aircraft ID challenge #......"
•The score board, link and rules must be copied to the beginning and end of each thread so that we know where we are.
•The completed aircraft must have been either; designed, built or have left the ground during the '14-'18 period and be identifiable by the poster.
•The photo must show the whole aircraft - from whatever angle, or at least 2 views of a 3 view drawing (photo by preference).
•Challenges which depict a machine already earlier presented are disqualified
(always check the list at earlyaviator.com/br.challenge when in doubt !)
•If there is any doubt as to the eligibility of an aircraft for the challenge details should be PM'd to Breguet BEFORE the aircraft is submitted.
•Once someone has got 5 correct answers under their belt they become an ACE. Once they become an ACE they must wait 12hrs after the posting of the new challenge before they can post an answer.
•To be eligible for correct ID an answer must include at least one characteristic of the aircraft that helped in its identification.
•The first person to ID the challenge correctly gets to post the next challenge. If this can not be done for any reason Breguet himself will post the next challenge.
•If an ace gives the correct answer too early, the challenge is over, he gets no point but has to post the next one. 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.
•The final arbitor in relation to questions about the rules will be Breguet.
