I'm sorry SLB, the Dutch link was somewhere else... I'm going to hand the reins to sycamore for concluding that it's a Fleet. Originally designed as the Consolidated 'Husky Jr.' in 1928, the model was later renamed in honour of Consolidated president Ruben Fleet (linked to Consolidated and their B-24, it was a tenuous one...). This particular example of a Fleet model 7 is based at Lelystad, one of only two in Europe, with the Early Birds foundation: Fleet 7 ? Order book ´Doen´
