Brequet's Aircraft ID Challenge # 502

According to the Breguet rules, this post has to be "easy". I take that to mean from an established maker (not a one-off from a backyard hobbyist), well within the time period of the challenge, a reasonably clear photo, and not South American. This easily qualifies.

The scoreboard at the end of #501:

94.00 Varese2002**
63.40 Dave_Kent **
52.90 Rbailey **
30.30 Cruze**
17.50 YavorD

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.

HAPPY TRAILS, FOKKERJ

Oh, never mind! I see that you played with your mouse and solved your problem.

I have. I think I know what you are referring to, but this is not that one.
Also, it is not an Ansaldo.
