Not an amateur built. Not designed in the U.S.A. First flight during WW.II.

Evening mate.

Nice to see you back - been away?

Looking at the close coupling of the engines, I think yours must be high-winged.

Is it a floatplane?

Reminds me of a D028, except that it ain't.

Morning mate.

No mate, can't afford to go away. Just been busy with work and home maintenance.

Would you like to see the original 3-view? It is a high-wing. No floats.

Mate, this thread has withered down to just a handful of players.

Is that sad?

Or not?

Maybe I'm just a little down and drinking a tad too much. Very nice though!

Good morning David, evening Graeme<

For the first time since mid evening last night, my connection has held up long enough to log-in! If it goes again my light will stay on (for an hour I think)!

Like the Do-28, I thought it looked like a Nomad, but it aint!

We all get like that mate, but why are you down?

Your challenge seems younger that I thought, and seems to have a couple of horizontally-opposed sixes - probably Lycomings.

Was one of its' jobs that of ambulance?

Only one built. Not successful. But it is an adaptation of a single engine aircraft which is without a doubt one of the most famous and useful post WW2 aircraft ever produced...

Mate I don't know about the UK but when I was in Melbourne I popped into all the second-hand bookshops I saw and asked for "aviation please".

They would look at me quizzically and say "no, don't have any, sorry".

All because of the Net?....
