This aircraft, and for RAF_Techie101 I will confirm it was an aircraft, was a two seater first flew June 1929 and was built in Germany.

This is proving impossible, Usually MReyn24050 warns us about difficult identifications by saying that it is easy and will not last long. One feels very let down this time as one had no warning about how difficult it would be to identify this aircraft.
Is it a two seat version of the Arado 68?

Sorry S'land, quite often mine are easy and I thought by not saying it was easy I was being fair
. This aircraft is not an Arado or a Rumpler. As this bird certainly was rare I will give you a couple of clues. The aircraft was built as a 2 seat reconnaissance floatplane. The name of the manufacturer had the same name as the friendly apparition which was the 'star' of an animated cartoon series.

Sorry JENKINS it is not a Heinkel, S'land has it
. It is indeed the Casper C 36W.
You have control.

Thanks Mel. That was a hard one. The only thing in the last clue that you did not give was the model number, so I cannot claim any genius there. Heinkel worked as chief designer for Caspar before going off to start his own company.
On to the next one.

I agree with the 12 cylinder donk, possibly a Liberty Engine.
