OK, so the top half is exactly the Bretagne. The two teardrops, the antennas towards the front and back, the double tail with strong dihedral, number of windows. So it has a special bottom half conversion. Floats or a big storage belly?

JAMF: You were exactly right on the complete aircraft - a Sud Ouest Bretagne. Saying you were 'half right' was just me with a pun on half an image. smile

I know that beauty but will stand aside.

A very unusual colour pic of a pair of Bretagnes coupled to make workshops or living accomodation? Looks like a faded Air France logo.

I also know this one, but I have no such inhibitions at the moment wink biggrin
Well, maybe I do. I'll let it stand for a while and see if someone else pops in and know what sort of bo...er, I mean plane, this is wink

It seems we're on our own, so I'll hazard a guess that our last contestant is the Saunders-Roe Princess smile
