Not an Osprey. This European design was built in a second European country as well as that of its origin, and used on the service shown above.

It looks a lot like the cockpit of a MU-2, but not quite, plus we've had the MU-2. So, a Mitsubishi product per chance?

Good guess con-pilot, but the mystery aircraft was not powered by Garrett turbines. Oops, I guess that is a clue..

Mitsubishi, but not Garrett engines?
Well, methinks you must be talking about the Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond Jet, pre-Beech days?

Is this from a South American manufacturer? I ask because I don't have a clue

and I have been digging for some time! No doubt Mel or one of the other Aces will post the

answer, just as I start to type my reply!

Bri is being particularly stingey with clues on this one, which is his right of course!

I keep thinking I should know this cockpit, but then I keep going up blind alleys!

Not sure if you notice but it has a one-piece screen - no central column. Not many types have that. RR
