LameHawk … I think you've nailed it … have to wait for Graeme to confirm. Good find !!!

[Graeme]

Apologies for the delay.
LameHawk has it. 

According to the accompanying caption...
..."the height of the Armagnac's cabin was dictated by the original requirement for three tiers of sleeping berths. By the time the Armagnac appeared most airlines had abandoned sleeping accommodation and this meant the aircraft's very deep fuselage was unnecessary with much unusable space. This was among the reasons that made Air France decide against the Armagnac".

[LameHawk]

Thank you

A easy one

Cessna L-19 Bird Dog on floats?
Only three were modified?

This is the amphibious version...

[LameHawk]

I haven't been able to establish how many were equipped with floats. The one pictured is Canadian.
Apart from that, you are quite right.

Your turn again! 

[Graeme]

Thanks LameHawk!

That looks pretty much like a bamboo bomber.
It comes with many different types and names...
T-50
AT-8
AT-17/A/B/C/D/E/F/G
(U)C-78/A/B/C
JRC-1
Crane-1/A
P-7
P-10

We can rule out the wooden prop versions, so the list becomes...
AT-17A/B/C/D/F/G
Crane-1A
P-10

The cockpit windows don't really want to match, which could indicate that it's a P-10 - couldn't find any image of that particular variant but it's said to have a sliding canopy.
Everything else fits and it's literally impossible to tell the exact variant in that case. Might be a photoshopped image anyway.

Nice detective work Mike. It is indeed the Cessna P-10. 
The photo isn't photoshopped.

Another view...

[SAS~Storebror]

Oh... I'm late to the party.
Something strange yet easy for you:

I believe it's the:   AirMule   

[SAS~Storebror]

I believe you're right DH
Your turn

Thanks Mike

A bit about the AirMule:

The AirMule is a compact, unmanned, single-engine, VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft.  Internal lift rotors enable the AirMule to fly inside obstructed (e.g. mountainous, wooded, urban) terrain where helicopters are unable to operate. The AirMule is innovative due to its internal rotors and significant payload capacity that allows for the evacuation of 2 casualties as well as fast and flexible payload reconfiguration for other missions.  It is also ideally suited to special robotic operation, for example via Tele-Presence.



Civil - AirMule offers much needed capabilities to emergency responders in routine, day-to-day operations as well as in the most challenging situations such as earthquakes and floods.  The ability to quickly deliver water, food and medical supplies directly to affected populations—no matter how isolated—will save lives. During nuclear, biological or chemical emergencies AirMule offers transformative assessment and response capabilities. Day to day multiple mission capability (electric grids, bridge inspection, agricultural spraying, offshore oil platform support to name a few) makes AirMule a cost effective addition to any commercial helicopter fleet.

Military - AirMule, a tactical Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) can help combatants reclaim an essential edge by enabling precise point to point logistic support and CasEvac solutions in battle conditions that are increasingly averse to conventional rotorcraft access. Today’s conflicts are increasingly defined by insurgents whose battlefields of choice are cities, villages and other environments that are inaccessible to helicopters.  Supply convoys and medical teams entering these locations experience lethal threats unlike any that have been experienced in the past.
