A Snow it is 
In fact it is a 1965 Snow 600 S2C, the last year Snows were produced.
For a history of Snow Aircraft:

For more photos of the posted aircraft, just google image "Snow 600 aircraft"
I'm still waiting for cringe to post a photo of the "Motorplaner".. Over to you Mel.

I've seen a similar control yoke on a WWII Japanese wreck. I'll guess it is a Nakajima G8N
It is indeed a Nakajima G8N1 Renzan (Rita). 
You have control.
cringe. Many thanks for the photograph of the Motorplaner, my reference book only has a side elevation of the BDP, which apart from the lack of engines is identical except for the lack of wheels, however I understand that the BDP did have wheels for take off but were dropped after take off. Was that a similar case with the MP?

I think we are masters of delusion, are we not? ..I'll guess a Supermarine series floatplane racers.. ?
Not sure what you mean? However,it is not one from the Supermarine stable.The original photograph was in colour, I will admit to increasing the size slightly.
