Probably way off here but it puts me in mind of the Martin M130 flying boat.

Not the Martin M130. I would not say you were way off as the design was in the same era as the Martin aircraft.

Seems like a Sikorsky S-43 - dual set of throttles for the two engines.

Looks like:
Biplane
In line engine
Early Bendix instruments so possibly US
Not DH or Stampe
or am I on totally the wrong track?

This ones got me baffled... I tend to agree with larssnowpharter except I have a feeling it might be a fifties model of some sort... The magneto switches ought to give a clue.

Is this a European aircraft?

Still on instruments the compass looks to be similar to the British P8 as fitted to early Spitfires and Hurricanes

The odd looking cabane strut position reminds me of the Arrow Active?
