Dont think it is the Spruce Goose, however I believe it is the Blohm & Voss Bv 222 "Wiking".

From the position and type of compass I take it is British. Therefore from the cockpit framework I believe it to be the De Havilland Don.

Sorry, not the Don.

Now if someone has a cockpit photo of the Don, I'd like to see it!

Give that lady the prize. Cringe you beat me to it, well done. It is in fact the Bristol Type 166, 112 built as 682al will confirm shortly I am sure.

Cringe
Good Morning to you, thanks for the extra photograph it did help to get a better idea of the canopy structure. However still no real idea of the type. Could you please confirm if I am on the right path.
The aircraft concerned is a:-
Twin engined
Retactable main wheels but with a tail wheel.
Possibly late 30s with WWII service.
Light transport.
Possibly German

Hi Mel,

All your assumptions are correct. Bert was close too.

Thank you cringe

In that case I will go for the Gotha Go146 or perhaps the Go150.
