Anyone know what type F-ALJC is? Based on AlanL's suggestion I did a bit of Google-ing and came up with the Koolhoven F.K.43. There is a resemblance to this aircraft but I'm not convinced - the FK43 seems to be rather longer with a larger cabin than F-JC.
Not a quiz - I don't know the answer but I'd like to.

OK, not to worry, I've answered my own question - what a wonderful thing Google is although it sometimes needs a little lateral thinking as to what to search for!
F-ALJC is a Potez 36 and was only a couple of weeks old when this photo was taken. It was later brought onto the UK register as G-ABNB.
