Me thinks the cabin layout is Vickers Vanguard.

First class at the rear away from props, built in stairs, etc,.

If correct, open house.

Thank you .
Your picture shows the earlier and similar CA 51 built in Yugoslavia .
The CA 61 was built in the U.S.A . I choosed CA 61 for the landscape ,and the Cessna behind .

Hee the new one : it should not last much ...

Good evening Richard, it's nice to get another challenge from you!

I wonder if it could be the Praga E-11 ??

I can't find a photo or drawings, but it's supposed to resemble the Boeing L-15, but with tricycle gear, so that seems to fit the bill, and it had a Walter Minor engine.

Please declare Open House if correct as I'm going very soon.

Letov 53 or Praga E-55 perhaps, but I can't find pictures of either.

Just found a drawing of the L-53, so I'll go for the Praga E-55!

If correct hand it to Mechta....he got us down to a choice of two!
