LowNSlow, as I've posted a number of cockpit photos lately, please feel free to post a photo if you have one available.

No problem. If not Russian, Italian perhaps,possibly a Breda, however we have had the Ba.27, so possibly the Ba.25?

Not a Fiat CR.20, but the aircraft was built in the early 1930s, and was of unique construction, with the fuselage partly metal to the cockpit and wood monocoque bolted to the front tubular portion by four bolts. The wing was all-metal.

An aircraft that fits that description is the Macchi M.C.72. So I will go for that aircraft. The Macchi M.C.72.

Mel, your are correct.
It is the Macchi-Castoldi MC.72, capable of 709 km/h it was the holder of the world's absolute speed record from 1933 until 1939, and was the world's fastest seaplane until 1961. You have control.
