Having looked at Lockheed 10/12 and Beech etc, I wonder if the "crew" in the image are misleading? Is this actually a Japanese machine? I've no idea what it could be yet but something in my head says its not-european. RR

OT: fancy clicks on Mac
@Bradenav: Command-Click on a Mac = Right Click on Windows or, indeed, with a two-button mouse on Mac. I use a Mac, but don't like Apple's mice; the Microsoft ones are excellent, and give you two buttons. Apologies to the others on this thread.

The window configuration looks like a Yugoslav Ikarus / Milutinovic Type 214

You have it, . It is indeed a Ikarus Type 214. Similar to the one shown below, with or without radome I am not sure.

You have control.

Thanks Mel. The only image I found had in-line engines and a glass nose but the windows were spot-on. Here is another one with crew......

A very long shot - an early Curtiss?

It is indeed the Vickers (Canada) Vedette - at Great Bear Lake. Jorge46 has control, having identified his local product

Thanks one11!

I will pass to the next person able to post a picture as I seem to have forgotten how to get anything on here.
Cheers, Geo.

I'm not sure about this but having built an Airfix model of it when I was a boy, I remember that the Viggen had a thrust reverser like this. Is it that?

I agree it's a Viggen, but Ridge Runner obviously got there first.
