That’s very kind of you all. Obviously you guys are in for a challenge. But reading al the previous posts and quick answers I doubt if it is really a challenge for some of you as most contenders seem to recognize each and every aircraft 😎
Here’s my picture. It is ‘under restoration’ at the moment, and it will take some time before it is back to at least static condition. Pic was taken last August.

Aboriginal food in Australia. From the Green Tree Ant, the rear part of the body is pulled off and eaten. It looks like a tiny green bulb, is rich in vitamin C and tastes a bit like lemon juice.

How about these? Two Dorniers Do-X from the Italian Air Force. I took this photo of a photo last August during my visit to the Musée d’hydroaviation located at Biscarosse, France.
The typed caption reads: “Two Dornier Do X acquired by Italy did serve as troop transports during the Ethiopian War”.
They were named ‘Umberto Maddalena’ and ‘Alessandro Guidoni’.
The two Italian Do X were essentially identical to the original single German example. The engines were different, the Italian Do X were both powered by FIAT A-22R (V-12 water-cooled ) engines.
From Wikipedia:
Both orders originated with SANA, then the Italian state airline, but the aircraft were requisitioned and used by the Italian Air Force primarily for prestige flights and public spectacles. After plans for a first-class passenger service (Genoa-Gibraltar) were deemed unfeasible, the X2 and X3 may have been used for training and transport flights (one rumor has it that a Do X even ferried troops to Ethiopia in February, 1935). No evidence exists of their fate; presumably they were quietly broken up for scrap around 1935.
