Its either an Amiot 351 or 354

I am not good enough to see the difference. No number visible on the fin, unfortunately

Cheers

Hi Stig. The 351 had twin-tails, the 354 a single fin/rudder; the 354 was very similar to the Nakajima "Frances". I believe one or two 351s were re-configuered with single tails.

Indeed Nick

I was lazy and didn't check my notes or Googled it. Memory is not always that reliable.
Still have problems walking so I never bothered checking my books either....:o

Sorry about that

Hi Stig, Buckeye30 and all who are interesting,

this is, from my point of view, issue with some French bombers - twin-tails or single fin/rudder, nearly same plane, but who don´t know it, for him different :-)

For this type, nice collection of photo and look at the name of topic: Amiot 351-354
