I think Brian has it.

After looking through countless Ilyushin and Tupolev photos, I finally thought about LET! A nice set of photos here:

Yes, Bri has it again. It was the mock-up for the Let 610 airliner. Over to you.

Mel is correct. The AVIA B-534 represented the penultimate development of the biplane fighter. You have control.

Next Challenge

Thank you Bri. Am I correct that the aircraft in your challenge was the Avia B.534 that is in the Kbely Aviation Museum on the site of the historic military airfield Prague-Kbely in Czechoslovakia?

Here is the next challenge, I apologise for the poor condition of the image.

Assuming that this is a flying boat, I venture a guess at the Shorts Mayo.

C2j. Your assumption that this is a flying boat is correct. However it is not the Shorts Mayo.
