I thought we’d run up against some lost episode of the “Thunderbirds”, or “Fireball XL-5” at first glance!! Great find, Vintage, thanks for posting it! [:)]
Take care,

I have a slide of it taken at the Le Bourget museum in Paris.
It is probably still there along with some other strange test aircraft
I have been at the Le Bourget museum, it’s still there. If I remember correctly, they had different variant of leduc’s planes.
