No. It is British built. It was the most successful model for the company in the pre-WW.II.

Not the AW Siskin. The mystery ship is a bit older.

The aircraft was designed for a two man crew. This version may have been radio training version.

Sorry Bri, not the Blohm und Voss Ha.140. This aircraft only had a limited number built and was described by one source as a multi-purpose aircraft.

How about a Siebel Si 204? - a desperate attempt but there so many "Real" cockpit spotters on this thread!
