Indeed, it was used by the American explorer Lincoln Ellsworth for his fourth and last Antarctic expedition in 1938/39.
This is a Northrop D.1 Delta, Reg. A61-1, ex VH-ADR.

The whole story and more pics of this particular aircraft can be found at

I think DH knew it already, the baton should go to him.

Nice Mike and thanks to yourself and James, but I'm way under the weather today. Went sailing with Captain Morgan and Sailor Jerry, I think we tried to sail around the planet last night.  :)

So, open round.

I don't think there is any connection between the French aircraft and the A.300.
Although they did have that monstrous Bloch MB-200.

I think this one should be easier than the last
