Pieces 5 and 7 combined show the rudder and tailplane kingpost of a Farman F.40, I think.

I would have thought so to - if I didn't know otherwise.

I go for a Farman F 40

tapered tailbooms suggest a pusher, the rudder matches Farman and the tail-tombstone indicate type 40.

But it could be also a derive, probably not a belgian but maybe a russian, though there is no Tereshenko-logo visible .
We didn't had much of them in the challenges - so there is a whole range possible...


Cheers

Ok, another Farman with that kind of rudder and kingpost is the HF.30.

Well, the rudder is definetely Farman, but do you want the precise type from such a poor picture? Most people can identify that only when the rudder inscription can be read!
Here are some more candidates

HF 27, HF 35, F 41, F 44, F1,4o, F1,41 and in some cases you can add bis, ter and so on!

I have looked at the 7 pieces for a time and given the rectangulars it might a picture of a machine on a poststamp.

The tailbooms are rather specific, but so is the rudder and the triangular construction above. Combing these three things I would vote this a Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2d.

Cheers
