Hi all,
although it is said this picture is from the opening ceremony of München-Oberwisenfeld on 1 January 1929, other souce says it is from Großflugtag (“great airshow”) of 3 May 1931. You need not to care for D-1710 = Rohrbach Ro VIII Roland II D-1593 = Albatros L75 a D-1831 = BFW M.23 a D-1834 = Klemm L26 a II G-ABJB = De Havilland DH.80A Puss Moth and of course not for D-1784, the Junkers A.50 in the foreground.
But CV-LIL is too tricky for me. Although I may be personally unable to see another BFW or Klemm, I mean this visitor from Romania is something special. Of course, CV-LIL is NOT listed in Goldenyears rsp. its successor. It is a bit more stretched and more sleeky skinned than the other ones of this kind. And the cockpits are not or nearly not cut out.
So, what do you say is this? Thank you for answers!

Looks like I have to accept this solution. Thanks MM.

Can’t find any reference to CV-LIL anywhere, RT, but I think it is a BFW M.23b. It differed somewhat from the M.23a model. In the photo D-1834 has a Salmson 9 cylinder engine whereas CV-LIL has a 5 cylinder (possibly a Genet or a Sh-13) The upper fuselage of the b model was more curved. The cockpits weren’t so deeply cut either and CV-LIL also has covers over them in the picture.
