Gentlemen.
This one is not the bf 108 taufin neither is it a piston or turbine powered Percival Provost. It is also not a Blackburn Skua.
asw28-866 was correct when he said it had a whiff of garlic odoured nord equivalent about it.

interesting layout, the big hole in the middle would suggest a big gyro blind fling panel similar to the DC3 and the primer knobs also look american. I looks as if it could be a twin even despite the funny throttle controls. So:-
Is it American? is it a twin? is it DC3 age? is it a Martin of some sort?

It is not American and therefore not a Martin.
It is not a twin.
It is after the DC3 age.

It never ceases to amaze me how many aeroplanes appear here that I have never heard of, and I would consider myself a middle aged aeroplane anorak!
It looks like a pregnant Chipmunk!

Phew,not often I score amongst the august company here. I had no idea what a Nord 1201 was either, but was fairly convinced there was a lot of Me108 in the picture! The next challenge is taken from the Flight Manual of an aircraft I am currently working on to get airworthy this year!

With all due respect it looks nothing like a Chipmunk - DHC built a beautiful tailwheel aeroplane that was well harmonised and a delight to fly. This is ugly with a shape that seems to have evolved correctively, has a strange protruberance just below the engine, and probably didn't fly very well either.

Are Tiger_mate and windriver one and the same? No ....
But Tiger_mate's comment
"It never ceases to amaze me how many aeroplanes appear here that I have never heard of, and I would consider myself a middle aged aeroplane anorak!"
Took the words right out of my keyboard.

MReyn24050, no not the Skyhawk but it is single engined.
Windriver, not the Mig21 but this a/c is Eastern in origin.
More recent than both the A4 and Mig21 this a/c first flew in 1968.
