Blimey Cringe, that was a good one - looking at the first pic, wings out of Agcat, fuselage out of Thrush Commander, cowling and prop out of Yak 52, and undercarriage oout of Wilga... Must have been an orgy!

Second one look almost a ringer for the TP Agcat...

Akubra - crop duster I take it? A guess: PZL Kruk?

Thanks Akubra. Would tend to agree with you as:-
Biplane -An airplane having two pairs of wings fixed at different levels, especially one above and one below the fuselage.

How much lift is provided by the lower wings of the PL12 Airtruk I am not sure but I am sure someone will advise us.

Unable to post as present as Photobucket is down for maintenance will post as soon as they are up and running again

This is certainly not as difficult as our friend cringe's challenge was.

I really don't have a clue as to what aircraft, however, I love the two artificial horizons/flight directors next to each other. Talk about confusing if one had a soft failure.

Perhaps after this is solved someone will be able to tell me if there was a reason for the attitude instruments to be next to each other?

Surely the one on the right is not the stand-by?

Got it in one. It is the Beriev Be-12. Are you able to answer con-pilot's question?

You have control.

Okay, so basically it was the stand-by.

Thanks Evan.

Sorry, this one is not from Douglas. It is an American built tail-dragger though.

Sorry, not the F4U Corsair. The mystery aircraft was not as successful.
