Funny that you ask. I was looking at Kermit Weeks' stuff in Polk Fantasy of Flight…..

But this looks more like two abreast...
Experimental, carbon fiber lining, (a fuel cap in the cockpit?), an odd-looking plate on the right (canopy mount?), one throttle and the hint of a prop in the front.
And a puppet.

Edit: also from the type of noise I think the image has been taken from a video

The canopy opens swinging to the right. Wouldn't that be awkward for a two abreast?

I agree, but if you look at the rudder pedals (and the mass of junk and wires on the right: I don't think you're supposed to put a right leg there...) it looks like it's a two abreast...

Ps. I think you should have a crack at the aerodrome, it's gotten well beyond easy now...

It is two seats side by side and the canopy does hinge to the right.

Looks like it`s piston powered and possibly a tail-wheely..?

It is a piston engine aircraft and a tail dragger.

G'day/evening mate!

Military aircraft Mel?

Would by identifying the high-wing airliner in the background help solve this?

Hi Graeme
This one is not military and I do not think the identity of the aircraft in the background will help.
Your man Cadel Evans was brilliant today and well and truly deserves the yellow jersey.
