Some funny ground-effect piece? From boys in Riga?
Although, no doubt it did experience a large ground-effect, I don't think it was in the designers working vocabulary when this was built!
Edited to say no to your edit; the slight discontinuity in the RH trailing edge is caused by deflected control surfaces.

Not a "project", it was classified as experimental (no surprises there!), one built and flown. It is on the web, but not too much detail
Your nast feelings are justified (but don't let Walter hear that), It was French
Edited to say, I don't think M. de Monge was involved, he's certainly not mentioned in anything I've seen about it.

Better be 013 please LM, bound to go before I get back to the workshop!!

It is very frustrating isn't it RegDep !!
That's what I liked about it 
It is described on one site (with a picture) as a "flying pancake", but before you rush off and get blood in your keyboard, that won't find it either
Apart from the one photo I've found of the real thing, there are a few good pictures of a quite nice scale model on the web, with the correct name, it has a registration on it that doesn't tie up with what I regard as a good list, it is on that list by name, but has no reg! The "real" photo shows the same reg, so I suppose it's an error or omission on the list, helpful innit!!
