Hi Jean-Francois- I missed this when you posted it I think. What plane is that? And when did it happen? Looks like 1930? And it looks like everyone in the village got into the picture

Interesting photo, Jean-Francois. Thanks for posting !
Looking at the shape of horizontal tailplanes and wings, me think it is BREGUET 14, IMHO.

It is hard to tell, when this could happen. The Breguets 14 were gradually phased out of army service about mid-twenties, when they were replaced mainly by Potez aeroplanes. They served postwar with German occupation forces.
It looks like the plane still wears army camouflage.
So it could be any time between 1918 - 192?
Have you more info Jean-Francois?
many thanks once more
Michal
