Nord 1101 Noralpha / Me208?

[Benno]

Close enough ,  your turn

Yes - F-BGGH was indeed a Nord 1101 Noralpha C/N 98
The Noralpha was designed in 1941 by French in the frame of their policy of "collaboration" with Nazi Germany (that included also producing aerial bombs and aircraft engines for the IIIrd Reich), and produced under the name "Messerschmitt 208"  - a 4 seats liaison aircraft, very comfortable and so appreciated as such by Goering that it got the nickname of "L'avion de Goering". The plane was a development of the Me108 Taifun, with among others an extended range and a nose wheel gear. The war production version was equipped with an Argus 220HP 8 cylinders V engine, while the post war version used a Renault 220HP inverted-V 6 cylinders engine. Production went on after 1945 with a series of 200 aircraft called Nord 1101 Ramier, while the original Me208 version with Argus engine was renamed Nord 1100 Noralpha, but in practice all these aircarft were called Noralpha, the name "Ramier" (common wood pigeon) apparently did not appeal the crews, maybe because of the sense given to the vocable pigeon in French current slang (a dupe).

Now an easy one, though a lousy photo

After much searching think it was under my own nose ... Here in Argentina ...

Name along image

You are very very close - so we can consider this as a right answer - the photo you uploaded is of an Argentinian V-65F  with P&W Wasp 550hp engine, MG-40 Colt machine guns, 11 built, 1933. Some of these also had a rear Scarff MG turret.

The quizz photo was an advanced version of the Corsair V65, called  V92C builtChina with Hornet T2D1 700hp engine, 20 built and delivered, 1934.
Another version, the V93 was bought by Thailand (Siam), equiped with Pratt & Whitney "SD" Hornet, 12 delivered: 9 observation V-93S and 3 V-93 S As (Attack), 1934. In 1936 the Thai Aeronautical Department built 25 V-93SAs under license, in 1937 they built 25 more and in 1950 built 50 V-93SAs. These aircraft saw service against the French in the various French-Thai incidents/war.
