If mine eyes see a g-meter there, is this an aerobatic aeroplane?

There could be a G-meter (not that I would know what it looks like!), but definitely not an aerobatic aircraft LM.

There is a North American feel to the cockpit. but some instruments just don't look right to me.

Is it the CA-15 from Australia?

Good shot, but not just sea-legs...

Not from Australia. Stick to the North American feel...but not literally.

If it looks like a duck,squawks like a duck,and walks like a duck,then it probably is a Duck, J2F ?

On second thoughts,possibly an O2SU Kingfisher ??
