That’s because it is one. I thought the link with “Laurence” and Lewis Carroll was called for.
Over to you.
Sooner than I thought, while I am on the subject.

Yes, I’m still here. Just had my Pastis in the sun, so shall not be posting straight away. But soon. Not exactly the weather for Carrolls (at least the Christmas variety, although admirably suited to Christ Church Meadow).
As I once said before, when I see a Snark I call it a Snark.
And it might make a lot of noise, if it is in France (du bruit). Interestingly it flew from where I learned to fly, which is not far from my hometown of Peterborough.
So no one wants to give it a name …
This gets tough. It is indeed F-PBHQ, but it was converted from an M123 by Pierre Grenet in 1959, and rebaptised Bison PG-2: http://mar.co.uk/photo-list.asp?category=12&Sort=Registration&Limit=1000&Start=17670 (page 19).
It was reconverted to a M123 in 1990. It may still exist:

Scroll down to almost the end, and also see the comments.
Anyway, over to you avion.
Y’en a marre.
I have a photo of a M123 with a canopy (F-PAOF). However, it is not what we are looking for. Nor is it F-BCEP.
No, don’t think Piper Cub, …. sorry, don’t think M123: think of something different.
‘ere we go again. It was once a Mauboussin M-123 Corsaire – even if it had ceased to be that at the time of the image posted.
Take it from there.
Thanks wout. I think the M5 referred to it being a 5 seater … ?
We have had an ASW22 that wasn’t an ASW22, and a Piper Cub that wasn’t a Piper Cub. Now try this one.

Either a very early Bellanca or an early Mooney. I shall go for Mooney. I think one of the first was the AX
Sorry to intrude avion, but I am still trying to find what the modifications are!
From http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/VanTilborg/11133.htm:
01/31/2012. Remarks by Walter van Tilborg: “The PJ-5A was a modification of ex-military Piper J3 L-4 Cub aircraft developed by Frenchman Jean Poullin. Registered F-PDVD the pictured first aircraft flew during 1946 and had a 65 hp Continental O-170-3 (military A65) engine. Reregistered F-BDVD on November 8, 1949, it was followed by at least four more PJ-5A aircraft and a single
PJ-5B.”
This one is the B model it seems.
There is also a description of PJ-5A F-PDVP by Eric Janssonne on

Looks like it!

I should have recognised that Betty Boop nose art.
“When I see a Cub I call it a Cub”, to (slightly) misquote Oscar Wilde.
Chris, above, remarked lightheartedly on the spelling of “Cub” in French. Then there was talk of the L-4. Here in French-speaking Switzerland, you don’t often hear of the “Piper Cub” but of the “L-4″ (” ‘ell-quatre”).
But what the L-4 shown by Monsieur Avion is, I really don’t know. To find out what it is registered as, we need to know its registration!
I note that this one is being taxied by a solo pilot in the front seat, whereas the original L-4 was flown solo from the back seat. This suggests it has undergone the modification to have wing tanks and thus make the CofG suitable for front seat driving.
A77? So this is in Australia? That narrows it down a bit
